Great as a basic phone tells the time and can be used for texting at a pinch.

but several quirks -
missing the date display (you can only get to see it where you set it!)
as others have pointed out, once you type your SMS message and send it, it's lost - not kept, and you can't SMS more than 1 person with the same message (unless you type it all in again!) No t9

Motorola have a means of tailoring the phone with different language voices and ringtones, but it seems there's no hacks for us to change them ourselves!

you can't edit contact details - you have to renter them, if you get it wrong.
you can't change the alarm or sms ringtone (is there one? it's too quiet).

SMS punctuation is limited to -,?@| - no dot.

I just got the motofone f3 and I love it but the home screen displays different 5 digit numbers. When I first turn it on it will display my carrier but it always goes back to this weird five digit number. Does anyone know how to change it to carrier or write something in that space.

E-ink displays suffer from ghosting sometimes so to prevent this the screen will sometimes be flashed to clear the last image on screen before a new image is displayed, this ensures the "pixels" are reset to the correct default colour.

I had this phone for two years and five months and for that cheap price, was this a very great phone. It is very robust, it felt me down many times, i get it under water and was still working without problems. But it is not good for sending sms messages.

Can someone tell me why the face flashes on and off ?
Does it have anything to do with battery?

I used my F3 almost 3 years now. It's an excellent phone. It fell on the flour countless of times, and it still looks pretty much as in the first week. it's sound quality is very good, and it's a wonder of simplicity. I really think this is the Volkswagen beetle of mobile phones. If I'll manage to find a new battery I am pretty sure that it will work fine for another 2-3 years.

I had this phone before it fell from my pocket in bus. Well i loved it, although messaging was nightmare, it was stylish and felt great in hands.

> In reply to SandeepChowdary @ 2010-07-26 14:22 from v{P9 - click to readYes it does! I got one as a present last week, new, never used, and it will be my spare phone. It's so basic but awesome just because of that, I have to smile every time I see it. Like an anti-phone for when I am sick of technology. Great design, great sound in the headphone and great signal reception. And looks tough!

Mine was staying charged for 3 days at a time. But now it usually dies before I leave the office.

HORRIBLE BATTERY LIFE!!!
