During the Growing Together 2008 conference in Johannesburg, Nokia introduced four upcoming mobile handsets aimed specifically at users in emerging markets who may be ready to replace their first phone.

Mobile phones quickly are becoming the backbone of emerging markets, with many citizens of developing nations electing to use the devices rather than get a wired land line. Internet access is often expensive where available, meaning cell phones become the primary method of communication.

I bought a Motorla Motofone F3 just for fun and was surprised to find I liked it for the most part. Best of all was the e-paper screen that had awesome readability from any angle and with backlight off. I gave it to my grandma' but I might get another one for myself.
