Our own Nicholas Deleon was live on the scene for the event and you can check out his first look of the RIZR here. After that, check out MobileBurn's first look of the MOTOFONE F3 from the Motorola event last night. The F3 is the affordable handset in Motorola's line of ultra-thin cellphones.

The spec sheet may be weak, but don't rule out this phone yet. At only .35 inches thick this phone definitely stands out for a lower end phone. It also uses a monochromatic EPD "Clear Vision" display that has a retro-feel to it. At $50 without any kind of carrier ball-busting contracts this will definitely be one of the more popular low-end cellphones. – Travis Hudson

The MOTOFONE is a slim, 9mm-thick phone that looks like the SLVR but thinner. Its display uses Electrophoretic Display (EPD) technology to make the screen more visible in sunlight.

Motorola also says there's a redesigned UI that's based more on icons than text, which is good, because we never liked Motorola's UI anyhow. Other than these slim details, the only other thing announced in the press release is that prepaid customers will get an update of how many minutes/messages are left after they make a call or send a message. The phone will be available sometime in the latter half of '06. – Jason Chen
