Motorola International 3300

Motorola International 3300 is a transportable phone released by Motorola in 1993. The International 3300 was an improved version of the International 3200. It could receive SMS and CB, the depth of the device was less and it could be charged directly without a charging cradle, unlike the 3200. The 3200 could neither receive nor send SMS messages since it was severely limited in what information it could show due to the small dot matrix LCD. Motorola was forced to replace the 3200 with the 3300, because the 3200 had only "Interim Type Approval" (ITA) and could not receive an "Full Type Approval" (FTA) to be approved for further operation in GSM networks due to the lack of SMS reception capability.
