Motorola SLVR L2

Wireless/Mobile Phone/Cell Phone

Need to thin down? The Motorola L2 is the answer. This stylish, quad-band world phone has more than just great looks, with features like Bluetooth, mobile email, a speakerphone, and more. Now you can have a skinny phone that's big on the features that make your life easier.

Your thin friend. See the features of the Motorola L2 in detail.

Design
At less than a half-inch thick, the L2 borrows heavily from the popular design of the Motorola SLVR L7. A large 128 x 160 color display with 65,000 colors resides above the handset's backlit control pad. Most of the phone's menus and features are controlled by a circular control pad just above the numeric keypad. Up/down buttons are placed on the left side, and there's also a highly accessible mini-USB port on the right side of the phone for data synchronization.

Calling Features
The L2's internal phone book can hold up to 500 contacts. The phone also supports polyphonic ringtones as well as MP3-based ringers, allowing you to use portions of your favorite songs to alert you to incoming calls. A number of ringtones come preloaded on the phone and more ringtones can be downloaded from Cingular Wireless' MEdia Net service. And for times when you want to be discreet, there's a vibrating alert. A built-in speakerphone makes it easy to talk without having the phone to your ear.

Because the L2 is Bluetooth enabled, wireless headsets can be configured with the phone for total handsfree operation.

Messaging, Internet, and Tools
The L2 is a messaging and wireless Internet powerhouse. Support is built in for sending and receiving pictures, text, graphics, and sound via messages. Instant messaging is supported via AOL Instant Messenger, Yahoo Messenger, and ICQ, and the phone also ships with a built-in email client. Plus, there's a wireless Web browser for MEdia Net downloads and mobile web browsing. Cingular's MEdia Net service lets you receive and send emails, read news headlines, get weather updates, download games and ringtones, and more. iTap text entry, which is a technology that makes it easier for people to enter words and text on handsets, is built into the unit-- a plus for mobile email and text messaging users.

A number of handy software tools are bundled with the L2, including a calculator, a calendar, and an alarm clock. Use the phone's Bluetooth capability to set up a wireless link with a Bluetooth accessory or connect to a computer or hand-held device to exchange and synchronize data.

Entertainment
The L2 supports custom graphics for wallpapers so you can dress up the phone to suit your mood. Support for gaming is also built into the phone and games are available for download via the Cingular MEdia Net service.

Vital Statistics
The Motorola L2 weighs 2.8 ounces and measures 4.33 x 1.93 x .41 inches. Its lithium-ion battery is rated at up to 5 hours of digital talk time, and up to 14 days of digital standby time. It runs on the 850/900/1800/1900 MHz GSM/GPRS frequencies. The phone comes with a one year limited warranty.

Reviews:

Good and solid (so far)

Rating: 4

i haven't had the phone for a long time but i think it's a solid phone.

yes, it doesn't have a camera but there are some who don't want or need one. the network seems to be confusing people and this phone is a quad-band phone. it says on the box and on the phone itself.

i haven't had any major problems with it and it seemed inconvenient on motorola's part to not set individual ringers with you have the numbers on SIM but it's just something minor. otherwise, there are a number of positives with this phone... and it's not just about looks.

look at the motorola L6	Rating: 5
I have not owned this phone, but have had the L6 (unlocked for ~ $130) for about 7 monhts now. that phone is the L2 plus the camera (or the SLVR minus the memory card slot). Been very very happy with it and everything, including the bluetooth works like a charm. I am guessing this is not too different, which is why I gave it 5 stars.
