TD - Motorola F3 Unlocked GSM Cell Phone $39.99

[aznxtambOy]

Tiger Direct is selling an unlocked Motorola F3 cell phone for $39.99.

I think it's great for a back up or if you are in need of an extra phone.

Darn, i was hoping for bluetooth, no bluetooth, no deal :P

FYI.... this is a primitive version of the SLVR, if I'm not mistaken. Still looks good, and it has the basic phone functions. Just don't expect to take pictures or listen to music with this phone.

Bad SMS support too. This is intended for people who want a basic phone with no shiny features but good battery life.

That's a cellular network setting, not a phone thing. I've had this problem before, and it wasn't a phone problem, it was something they had to fix via customer service.

Hmmm the battery looks the same as the one that's inside my razr v3c. For $40 I get the battery with a new phone?? How is the sound quality compared to the rrazr?

haha this phone was announced a few years ago, it looks neat, but I dont know if it actually is neat, because it is literally the third world country version of whichever motorola phone it resembles

A friend of mine has this one. It is good for PHONE CALLS ONLY. Forget about doing anything else with it. The display is e-ink, which is pretty neat. Battery life and sound quality are good. There is a primitive phone book with numbers stored on your SIM card. The phone is incredibly thin. The headset connector is non-standard, so forget it if you plan to use a headset. Lastly, the clock drifts and may not set itself from the network.

You just buy it at a local fido reatailer or something? then keep flling your phone with prepaid cards thereafter?

i have no clue.

Help appreciated.

Exactly.

Or you can just buy a SIM card on eBay... Either Rogers or Fido.

If u are not a big fan of Camera or Mp3 phones then this is for you.

This looks like a good phone to give to your kids. If they lose it or break it, you're only out about $40 and the balance of the prepaid minutes.
