The Motorola F3, frequently known as the Motofone (styled MOTOFONE), is a candybar style GSM mobile phone from Motorola, released on 28 November 2006. It was the first mobile phone to use an electronic paper display.
The Motofone F3 was designed to appeal to the low-end market and developing countries, and was thus less functional, but also less expensive than most phones. Motorola made it appealing to developing markets and people with reading and visual difficulties by using only simple symbols and using speech synthesis to identify tasks in the menu.
The FONE designation essentially made it a series of phones in the 4LTR line, but no other FONE device would be released by Motorola after the F3.
