Two Great Threes
With initial product reviews, I think it’s generally a good idea to revisit a while later, and see if the glamour has worn off, or if the product is still showing it’s value.
Two products I’ve mentioned here have been the Motofone F3 and the Mazda 3. So how are they holding up?
M3: There are four key things I love about my Mazda 3:
- leanness: I get over 30mpg in mixed driving, It takes up very little room, and it’s big on the inside.
- response: Stick shift, so it moves with me - no waiting for it - it keeps pace like a lover.
- air: The moon-roof is the ultimate accessory. It’s all about airflow. The brain needs O2, for thought, for recuperation, and for pleasure. With the windows down and the roof open, you get a lot of the pleasure of a convertible w/o the drawbacks. Driving home is a form of rejuvenation.
- black: Did I mention it’s black inside and out? I look good in this car. What’s more, I feel good in it. It’s a kind of portable, comfortable, womb of steel and leather with instruments and wheels.
F3: The Motophone F3 is still the best phone ever:
- leanness: It’s super thin, super light, and does only what I need - one key control, and it’s $40 free and clear - no dotted line.
- response: It’s got the loudest ring (but gentle at first), the loudest volume, the best reception, clearest screen in direct light (it’s e-paper), and super-long battery life. It’s also ultra-portable (slam in a sim card and go). Meters (battery & reception) are external and always on. Suitable for your primary phone. It doesn’t do music and photos, but neither does a landline, and this goes anywhere. Goes great with a Mazda3.
- black: Seems like a fine suit. It’s equipment, not a toy.
That’s it. Both of the above products are going strong. Excellent purchases, and I recommend them highly.
