Motofone F3: skinny call-maker lasts 300 hours on a charge

Motorola_f3The MOTOFONE F3 doesn’t do much other than make calls, but if you want over two weeks of standby in a 9mm "thick" phone, this fits the bill. Mitchel Oke puts this budget battery buster through the paces over at Gear Diary and has a video as well. The secret to the long battery life is the monochromatic EPD (Electrophoretic) technology used by the F3’s display, so you get up to 10 hours of talk time or 300 hours of standby, per Motorola. Not bad for at or under $50.
