Review of GSM-handset Motorola SLVR L7e

(12/18/06)
Summary: The model delivers good receiving quality, typical for all modern devices. Ring tones¿ volume is slightly above average, midi-tunes are played back via 64-chord polyphony module, which ensures fairly great sounding. The silent alert is nothing special on the SLVR L7e ¿ it¿s somewhere between ¿average¿ and ¿slightly above average¿... Read the full review

Summary: Read the full review

Pros: ; iTunes-compatible cell phone that's even better looking than the RAZR
Cons: ; Low iPod Shuffle-like capacity; poor earbuds; exposed and vulnerable surface and screen

Verdict: TheMotorola SLVR L7 with i-modeis another variation of the SLVR line-up that includes iTunes and non-iTunes devices. As you might guess from the phone's name.. this is a SLVR with added i-mode support, plus a few cosmetic differences.

Motorola SLVR L7 Review

(2/1/06)
Summary: Motorola CEO Ed Zander described their upcoming portfolio as 'whoa' products. And just like the RAZR, the SLVR features Motorola's now signature line of fashion-forward designs. Ultra-thin is in. Having an even slimmer profile than the RAZR, its distinctive block form resembles a credit card. Just from one look, and its appearance needs... Read the full review

Summary: The model has no problems with the connection quality being a typical modern device. Musical component is on the triplet's level, mp3 play back is present and limitations are not as strict.

Motorola SLVR L7


Summary: Much of Motorola's recent success can be attributed to a combination of good marketing and bad spelling.Its clamshell RAZR handset started the trend, followed by the iTunes-equipped ROKR, the PEBL and now the SLVR. These phones (barring the ROKR) don't offer any revolutionary features. But like Apple's iPod nano, their skinny design gives... Read the full review

Motorola Slvr L7 review


Summary: : If you are looking for the very latest features, the Slvr is not going to set your world on fire. But if you want your phone thin, black and stylish then it is worth considering... Read the full review
Verdict: Motorola's flat keyboarded, thin, black design gets another outing in the Slvr -- we've seen it before in the Razr and Pebl. Amazingly good looking, the SLVR has a feature-set which is average in most respects, though good quality music playback is a highlight worth drawing attention to
Pros: ; Above average music playback; sleek lines; nice (if small) screen
Cons: ; Too little built in memory; poor camera; amazing propensity to pick up grease from fingers

Summary: An uber slim phone for the celebrity market and also popular with the Chav community. Not quite what Motorola had in mind with the SLVR L7 but its wafer thin design does nothing to mask the poor iTunes player and limited battery life, shame really. Read the full review
