Motorla 3200 International
Quick ViewWOW Factor: The first Motorola portable GSM
Evaluation in my collection: BNIB – 10/10
Life timer: 0 | Boxed: YES
Release Year: 1992 | Release Price: ~750 GBP
About: The Motorola International 3200 was the first digital hand-held mobile telephone introduced in 1992, along with the more compact 5200, 5080, 7200 and 7500 “flip phones” introduced in 1994. It was preceded by the International 1000 and 2000 GSM phones, quite big (small portable suitcase), and although being the first GSM portable phones, they were not GSM certified, therefore couldn’t be officially connected to the network (first to be certified was Orbitel TPU 900).
The International 3200 was designed to substitute the phones using the original analog cell technology developed in the late 1960s and early 1970s and first commercially available in 1983. Because of the 3200’s GSM technology, units still operates on any current 900 MHz GSM networks operating to this day (not with 3G SIM’s).

Motorla Aura
Quick ViewWOW Factor: Saphire glass, stainless steel, swivel like opening mechanism, Swis Made gears for the mechanism.
Evaluation in my collection: Great 9.5/10
Life timer: N/A | Boxed: NO
Release Year: 2008 | Release Price: ~2000USd
About: Motorola Aura (styled AURA) is a series of luxury mobile phones from Motorola, and is part of the 4LTR line, announced in October 2008 and made available by December. Though it was going to be a series, only one phone was released, known as Aura R1. However, three further special editions of the Aura R1 were released through 2009: Aura Diamoniqe Edition, Aura Celestial Edition and Aura Diamond Edition. Aura used to be a luxury device with US$2000 price tag. It was made from premium materials such as stainless steel and sapphire to appeal large audience and comes inside a wooden box.
The phone featured a unique high-resolution circular display with 300dpi and an adapted circular user interfaced based on Motorola’s MotoMagx operating system. One of the main selling points of the device apart from its screen was its swivel-like opening mechanism. Motorola tried to replicate the success of Razr V3 series by making a new innovative phone. The screen’s opening mechanism was made possible thanks to its Swiss-made gears composed of Rockwell 50-55 hardened steel and 130 precision ball bearings. Its custom-engineered rotating mechanism is composed of more than 200 high-precision individual parts, and the gears are protected against harsh conditions with the same coatings used in high-performance racing engines. The screen of the AURA was able to display 26 Million different colours, all these things made it one of a kind phone, which never really took off. [1]

Motorola F3
Quick ViewWOW Factor: The first mobile phone to use electronic paper in its screen
Evaluation in my collection: BNIB – 10/10
Life timer: 0m | Boxed: YES
Release Year: 2006 | Release Price: ~20 EUR
About: The F3 (frequently known as the Motofone) was a GSM phone available in two band variants, and was released on 28 November 2006.
The Motofone F3 was designed to appeal to the low-end market and developing countries, and was thus less functional, but also less expensive than most phones. Motorola made it appealing to developing markets and people with reading and visual difficulties by using only simple symbols and using speech synthesis to identify tasks in the menu.
The F3 was the first mobile phone to use electronic paper in its screen. Motorola used the term ClearVision to describe the new display, which was manufactured using E Ink’s electrophoretic imaging film. The electronic paper main display allowed for the phone’s thinness (no glass), longer battery life, and outdoor viewability (paper-like reflectivity). It had a backlight for the keypad and a slit that projects the backlight onto the screen so the display can be seen in darkness.The characteristics of the display were fairly restrictive. The text display contained only two lines of six characters each, making the use of text messaging (SMS) and data services less practical than on standard LCD displays. The display used a fixed ‘digital clock’ style font, with no functionality for changing between upper case and lower case text. All SMSs sent by the F3 were received entirely in lower case, and each character of any SMS received by the F3 is displayed in whichever case made the most sense using the font. Also, the non-alphabetic characters were severely limited due to this display, as the phone could only provide support for the following characters:
Comma (,) (periods . in incoming text messages are displayed as commas)
Hyphen (-)
Question mark (?)
At-sign (@)
Asterisk (*)
(+), to write this character, hold down the 0 key
No other non-alphanumeric characters could be entered, and on receiving an SMS any non-alphabetic character not listed above was displayed as a hyphen.Although the display could be restrictive when it came to text applications, the display was very energy efficient and conducive to extremely long battery life.
