MOTOFONE F3 Is the "Best Ultra Low Cost Handset" of the Year

Motorola MOTOFONE F3 has in fact been designated the "Best Ultra Low Cost Handset" of the year and frankly, the phone completely deserves the award.

The Motofone F3 secured the prestigious award at the Association's annual awards ceremony at the 3GSM World Congress in Barcelona. Motorola has thus been rewarded for their momentary spark of genius that led them to manufacture a mobile phone which is both very affordable and stylish.

The leading mobile phone manufacturer introduced the low-end handset last summer aiming to redefine the mobile market and to strengthen their drive to connect the next billion mobile phone users.

The stylish phone is a combination between Motorola's award-winning design and easy-to-use functionality and the first of a new type of handsets that are specifically designed to cut down prices while still offering great functionality.

Also, the MOTOFONE offers a redesigned user interface, features voice prompts in local languages and comes with a high contrast display that is easy to read even in the bright sunlight or dimly lit environments.

"Motorola is excited that the MOTOFONE F3 has been named Best Ultra Low Cost Handset of 2007 by the GSM Association," said David Taylor, director of strategic operations, Motorola Mobile Devices, EMEA & India. "Consumers from around the world are enjoying the benefit of the technological innovations packed into MOTOFONE. I am pleased to accept this esteemed award on behalf of everyone involved in the design and development of this ground-breaking handset."

With the MOTOFONE, Motorola mainly targets emerging markets, but with the handset's great looks and only 9mm thick body, its simplicity and low price make it appealing for all types of users around the world.
