      I haven't found a manual for it in english at direct.motorola.com/Hellomoto/nss/support_manuals.asp?Type=phone
      Worth checking later for sure.

      If you ask to read its manual before buying (if you go to an actual store) you can get a good idea on what this phone has to other, which isn't much.

      It's been build to be simple, so don't expect advanced features and critisize it because it lacks this or that.
      No wonder it's cheap. It was built with that purpose. People in developing countries can't afford to spend much on cell phones when they have to consider the bill size.

      That being said, don't buy this phone because of its looks. It's featureless (but innovative), hence low price.

          F3 is made n India,definately,its too simple beyound imagination,Nokias 1100 series at least r decent with internal mem good menu plus available same price moto is always behind,the days of click razor sucess has made it over confident,its still 4th rated name n the world as against its products line.The american image is its biggest drawback.

              It's the best phone if calling and messaging are the most you need from your phone. Slim and sleek design, loooooong looong talk time. Good phone to buy. Cheap.

                    Keypad autolock: Press ***260* followed by the "Action key". To Deactivate it, press ***261* and the "Action key".

                    About the manual... i have the Brazilian Portuguese version.

                          I didn't search for the F3 overseas, because I wouldn't know if it would work in my country. Luckily Brazil is being supplied, so I bought it rather quick.

                          I suggest you use search engines, ebay and the menu on the left called "Check Price".

                            Compass, could you list all the stores you know are selling the Fone below 50 dollars, and shipping to United States? I'm really interested, and I know it doesn't work on the USA, but I don't live there.

                              Also have a look at this nice page from the developers of the F3: direct.motorola.com/hellomoto/motofone/experience/experience/index.html

                              Don't forget to read the Full Specs.

                                    It does have vibration. I own one and can confirm it. If you still have doubts, download its manual.

                                    Why make such a phone? Read this: [add 3w's].theregister.co.uk/2006/12/28/reg_mobile_heroes_villains/

                                    I'll quote a part: "It's a low cost phone aimed at the developing world that, amazingly, doesn't look crap."

                                        This phone is great, for people that travel to much for the battery life, for people they just want a phone, nothing more. Is great. I had expensive phones, full of features, but this phone, looks good, call sound is great, of course the display is ancient, but is great for me because I just want to call. and is very cheap 45 dollars in Mexico.
