Motorola, Inc. yesterday announced the MOTOFONE, a new handset poised to redefine the market by making high design and smart technology truly affordable. The MOTOFONE combines Motorola’s award-winning design sensibility with smart features and easy functionality. Motorola’s thinnest phone yet at approximately 9mm thin, MOTOFONE borrows key elements from Motorola’s iconic portfolio and gives them a new twist.

Flat keypad, colors, innovative materials and finish processes combine to make a device that’s beautiful and affordable for everyone around the world. As mobile phone markets continue to expand, the demand for cost-effective, smart but stylish communication keeps increasing.
