Not content with launching three phones today, Motorola has launched a fourth mobile phone; the Motofone.

The new mobile phone is Motorola's thinnest phone yet at approximately 9mm thin, and shares the same design elements as the company's RAZR handset.

Aimed at the entry-level and emerging markets Motorola say the new Motofone offers an intuitive, new interface built on icons and voice versus text.

In a statement from the company Moto says "By using images, the device makes it simpler and friendlier for first-time users to navigate, place a call, and retrieve messages".

"Its large, high contrast screen, powered by Motorola's own ClearVision display, helps eliminate glare from direct sunlight - making it easier to use the phone outdoors, on-the-go."

The MOTOFONE is expected to be available in the second half of 2006 in
both GSM and CDMA models.

  • Just bought 1 of these on ebay for next 2 nothing after reading reviews on the web and watching video on youtube. It is all that i need in a phone and it is virtually indestructable. Going by the phones out nowadays where u only have 2 look at them and they fall to bits, the software on newer phones are the same, all bugs. It is true to say that motorola software has always looked the same no matter which phone u buy but i find that all the other phone manufacturers are doing the same only adding a few bells and whistles to their firmware. Anyway i'll see how i get on with this one! Posted by sam, scotland
