Just 9mm thick, the new sleek new MOTOFONE brings some serious style to an otherwise bare-bones handset. Designed for use in emerging markets, the MOTOFONE (CDMA and GSM versions will be available) boasts a ClearVision display that's easy to read in harsh sunlight, while an icon-based menu coupled with voice commands in local languages makes for easy-as-pie operation. Rounding out the features are a pair of dual antennas, a speakerphone, polyphonic ringtones and an earpiece with extra-loud volume for busy streets.
