The Php990 MOTOFON F3

Captain's Log Supplemental Stardate -316040.41
Motorola is set to launch (or have they?) a new mobile phone in the Philippines that looks pricey (SLVR look-a-like) but would only costs you less than a thousand pesos. The MOTOFON F3 (F3c for its CDMA version) is aimed at consumers who have yet to own a mobile phone. It features a new Clear Vision Display, also called the eletronic paper, that uses less or almost no power, extending the battery life of the phone to 12 hours standby and 8 hours talktime. It's also one of the thinnest phone, measured at 9mm.
The only drawback of this phone is the big 2-liner display. It's like reading your SMS messages on a big scientific calculator display :~(
SUMMARY OF FEATURES:
• Voice prompts in local languages
• Intuitive icon-based user interface
• Stylish thin design
• Durable housing for optimal performance despite dust and sun
• High-contrast screen using new ClearVision Display (CVD)
• Large font size for easy readability
• High-volume setting for call clarity in loud environments
• Embedded polyphonic ringtones in 32 voices
• Ability to download ringtones
• 4GV audio codec giving carriers a substantial capacity increase to further lower system costs
Perfect as backup phones to be used on the SUN Cellular network or as gifts to your grandparents... it's cheaper than a used Nokia 3210 :~)
Anyone knows where to buy this?
