Checked out the motofone today...and decided to put in a little review of it.
Motorola annuonced its new motofone just a few weeks ago and every 1 was left dumbfounded with the price tag of 2000 that it was suppossed to sport.
Amazingly the phone's MRP is 1695 and is available in the market for 1500bux.
SUMMARY OF FEATURES:
• Voice prompts in local languages
• Intuitive icon-based user interface
• Stylish thin design
• Extended battery life
• Durable housing for optimal performance despite dust and sun
• High-contrast screen using new ClearVision display
• Large font size for easy readability
• High-volume for call clarity in loud environments
• Automatic notification of current prepaid balance
• Embedded polyphonic ringtones in eight voices
• Ability to download ringtones
READ ON!![BREAK=The packing and acessories]
The phone comes packed in a cube plastic box almost equal to the box of the "Pringles Chips" in terms of width. The box is simple with a pic of the phone and major features mentioned on it and is sealed quite tightly.
On opening the box you would find the sleek looking phone coverd in plastic sheet and having a screen guard over its display.
There is a charger which uses the normal nokia phone jack to charge the phone, and the slot is placed on the left side, its the only slot for chargin as well as handsfree.
ALongwith the phone , the charger are the userguides and warranty document.
Sadly no handsfree is provided, even a single ear piece handsfree would have been good enough.[BREAK=The phone]
The motofone is amazingly sleek and sexy. If seen from a distance it resembles the L6.
It uses an 850Mah battery which fits in nicely and should give a long battery life as there isnt anything to use it
A thing to be noticed, the phone is marked Made in India:bleh:
THe phone uses the Electrophoretic Display (EPD) dubbed ClearVision that offers high-contrast even in sunlight and gives the option to see either white fonts on black or black fonts on white. The display is quite brilliant and the numbers show up big and clear on it.
Another noticable thing is that the phone's battery and signal strength indicators are above the screen display and give the impression of being 2 diffrent little screens on top, but they are part of the single screen. However this is quite innovative and i liked it very much.:hap2:
On startup a voice gives you option to choose your language of preference from english, hindi and punjabihyeah:
Once selected, you get to set the time and date. and thats it the phone is ready to work.
[BREAK=The UI, Sound and Final Words]
The UI is completly diffrent, it comes up at the bottom in horizontal line, and the voice speaks out the icon name you move over .
The volume of the phone is loud, almost the same as K750's ringing volume. The phone comes loaded with a few tones which are just ok, and you can put in more tones, though i cant understand how
Final words
The Motofone is awesome!!
For 1500 bux you cant expect anything better than this. It will be available for both GSM and CDMA, and would cost Rs 1500 which is just great.
This phone just may change the competition in the lower market segment, and dont be surprised if very soon, all your shopowners, courier delivery guys, and even the cleaner of your house sport the phone out .
Beware Nokia ,SE , Motofone would wipe out the competition with its looks and usage :clap:
Although the lack of handsfree is a backpoint.. but this phone get a 9.99/10 from my side.:hap2:
