Slashdot Mirror
Motorola Develops Bare-Bones Phone
tunabomber writes "Whenever a review of the latest cellphone/camera/MP3 player/GPS receiver/fish finder/tazer convergence gadget is posted on Slashdot, the first posters are usually quick to chime in by saying they just want something with decent battery life, reception, ergonomics, etc. Those posters' prayers may now be answered, because Motorola's new 'dumb' phone has been designed with these traits in mind. Notable features include an E Ink display and dual antennae to improve reception. The phone is slated to become available before the end of the year."
Why so little features? I'd want something more advanced.
...wish it had a camera ;-)
ZuluPad, the wiki notepad on crack
No wireless. No USB. Less space than a Nomad. Lame.
I want to delete my account but Slashdot doesn't allow it.
Let me let you in on a secret.
if it's GSM and triband then you will be able to easily buy one via a secret website...
www.ebay.com
dont tell anyone, it's a really obscure place that very few know of.
I have purchased many cellphones that are not available here from ebay. MY daughter has sported a cellphone that is uber-trendy that oohs and aaahs from classmates on a regular basis from that secret website.
IF it is available over there, you bet it will be available UNLOCKED on ebay minutes after.
Do not look at laser with remaining good eye.
Yes, but now how will I update my MySpace page with videos of me finding fish and stunning them while listening to my favorite trendy band?!
