Damn it, I knew I should have registered lynchamerica.com!

I have a Motofone and like it well enough. The interface, however, is atrocious due to the way the eInk display uses "LED clock" style characters.

My ideal Motofone would be an inch shorter, keep the eInk display but use an actual font, some built-in memory for phonebook, and longer battery life.

Regarding the vibration, just remove the handlebars, silicone caulk one end to make a "plug", obtain a bunch of sand -- I'm sure there's plenty where the Marines are currently deployed -- and pack it down in the handlebars. Caulk the other end. Reattach bars. Problem solved!
