Motorola SLVR L7 (AT&T)

The Motorola Slvr L7 from Cingular is a snazzy phone that will simply boost your self confidence. I purchased mine as a refurbished phone from the Cingular website for $99.99 and it works perfectly fine. If you are looking into buying this phone, there are essentially two main points to cover: Design and Media Options.

DESIGN

The L7 is one of the slimmest phones on the market. It is about as slim as a RAZR in terms of the sides and it is just a little bit longer than a normal wallet. I went from a bulky V547 to this phone, so I was very pleased that the SLVR can slide into your front jean pocket and there will still be no bulge. The interface is similar to the RAZR's, and while the buttons might be small for some, you will adjust easily.

MEDIA

The L7 is the only SLVR model that includes iTunes, and the concept works out great. The interface for itunes is just like an ipod without a scroll wheel, and you can either listen on the speakerphone or with included headphones. Also, if you get a call while listening, the music cuts out and once you are done with the call it resumes automatically. To store songs, the L7 has an included 512 MB SD memory card that fits into a slot in the phone. The card can hold about 100-130 songs on it, but there is a cap of 100 songs max on the L7, which is a little annoying. To upload songs, an included usb cord hooks the phone up to a computer with no hassle, and iTunes automatically detects your SLVR. Also, you can access your SD card as a portable disk so you can upload mp3 ringtones, pictures, movies, and java games to your phone easily. The included camera on the phone has 4x zoom and takes some of the best quality shots I've seen. All in all, a solid media unit.


OVERALL:

PROS: iTunes!!! Memory card makes transferring files from PC to phone super easy, solid camera, all packed into one of the slimmest designs that Cingular offers.

CONS: 100 song limit in iTunes, can't use songs in iTunes as ringtones, screen picks up smudges easily.

FINAL WORD: Although it comes at a price, the SLVR L7 has a super slim and sexy design combined with a load of media options to keep you satisfied at least until your contract renewal.

Good for those that want the simplicity of an itunes interface and their phone in one device. Thin design but full featured phone - it is pretty good quality device.

The Motorola SLVR L7 phone was exactly as described. great condition!
Thank you!!!size is perfect for carrying in a pocket and the battery has a pretty good lifespan of roughly 4 hours.

At least 50% of the cell-phone owning population has a RAZR. So why would you want the flip phone everyone else has when you can have the same thing - only better? That's where the Motorola SLVR comes in. Yes, it's a bar phone, but you know what? It's AWESOME! I've owned mine since about a month after it came out. And it's held up great. I've dropped it about 10 billion times from various heights and even onto concrete - and it still lives on with no scratches and no glitches! I also LOVE the iTunes feature - why buy an iPod when my phone can hold 100 songs? And I don't need to spend an extra $100. I also love the SLVR because it's very VERY compact and performs excellently in all aspects. I can hear people speaking clearly, the mini removable memory card (512) that comes with it lets me put non-iTunes songs on my phone for the ringer. Which brings me to this point - for being so tiny, the SLVR's speakers are GREAT!!!!!! I always hear people trying to play ringtones through their cell phone speakers, and the sound quality is horrible. But I don't have to worry about that with the SLVR. I've heard time and time again how great my speakers are. Sometimes I don't even use headphones because the quality is just that good.

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THE SLVR FOR ANYONE LOOKING FOR A NEW PHONE! AND THE BEST PART? THEY'RE NOW ONLY AROUND $100 EACH!!!

I honestly don't know why I got rid of this phone. Nothing even compares. The picture/sound/and video was excellent. Had bluetooth, Camera w/ Zoom, Extra SD card for storage, iTunes, it had everything. None other than the L7, great job Motorola!

Seller was prompt. Good transaction. But now that I have had the product for a little while, I wonder if the product I bought was really "new". The 7 key sticks most of the time and the back face plate started falling off and now won't stay on. I have had a lot of Motorola products in the past, and have always found them to be of high quality, so I was not expecting to have these types of issues. Could this have been a refurb? I will never know, but I am out looking for another phone....

I bought this phone after washing my grand daughters' cel phone which she had left in her pants pocket. It came with wall and car chargers as well as a memory card. My grand daughter helped to choose it and is very happy with it, ESPECIALLY the memory card!

This item exceeded my expectations. Perfect prompt service. Thanks again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

To me the bar phone market is not big and robust enought and it should be. The convenience of not having to flip open or slide bar none. There are good ones for qwerty users, but I prefer a smaller simpler phone for usage. This phone is one of the best in that category, simple, stylish, functional. There are only two things to consider.

Pros
1) Durable
2) Funtional, quick straightforward navigation.
3) PnP to charge and read the memory card w/o drivers on Vista.


Cons
1) Seems to have problems playing higher quality mp3's
2) No 3G support, which I knew before buying I just wished it had it by now, this would have made it near perfect for me, even with the mp3 issue.
3) No MP3 ringtone

I got a very used and beaten phone just to see how it feels. I replaced the keypad which was discolored and cracked, and the backcover which had obviously been dropped many times and was very loose and bent. After the replacements ($5 or so for both free shipping) this thing looks and feels like new, w/o a hiccup.

Excellent product!!Good price!!!Accesories completly new!!Excellent presentation!!!!OEM box!!!I really like it!!!

I have one of these phones already and decided to buy another as spare. These phones are tough! i personally threw mine on the concrete ground and it works! The Phone has decent features and is up to date one of the best Motorola Cellphone i've had. I recommend this Phone to anyone looking for a rugged phone built to last and with excellent features.

I get reception EVERYWHERE, it takes my micro SD card, real music ringtones, SUPER slim, Just love it.. :)

I love this phone it is great! Small and it has bluetooth! It was brand new! Fresh out of the box!! VERY VERY FAST SHIPPING! BOUGHT IT ON A THURSDAY AFTERNOON ARRIVED ON MONDAY! IT WAS GREAT

I did not buy the phone for me, I bought the phone for my boyfriend. He has always loved these phones and is still liking this Slvr. He would rather have these kinds of phones instead of the smartphones. He is satisfied with the phone, therefore, I am satisfied.

like: work well and has good speakers
dislike: they didnt deleat there pics of of the phone and there were some contacts still on it
i have tosay that the fast shiping and quality of the phone out way the bad

Purchased from Monster Cellular, a company who sells hundreds of phones a day. However, product was refurbished, not new. BUYERS BEWARE!

1. read negative feedback from buyers first! If there is any question whether or not their products are legit, don't purchase from them!
2. when your cell phone comes in, if it is not in the original box, heavy duty packaging, with all the parts and papers, BE ALARMED! This guy had his phones in a generic Motorola box and phone was just in a plastic sleeve, no instruction book or software included. When you purchase a new electronic, they are usually over-packaged, not just tossed into a box with no instructions.
3. If the back face plate doesn't fit 'perfectly' and seems a little awkward, it probably is a fake. Face plates should be easy to get on and off. With my fake one, i had to fumble with it for a while and then it just looked a little big. The L7 should be smooth and flat all over. There should not be a bulge from the faceplate in the back.
4. Examine the parts in the back of the phone. With a Brand new phone, there should be NO scratches or smudges.
5. If you do have a scammed phone, do not request the seller to send you a new one. Just ask for a refund immediately

i needed a phone asap but i think it was a bad idea, the ear peace and camera does not work, this phone and seller very poor, i will never buy from him again

works great!! got here fast!! thanks!!! i bought it because they had the best price for it, had regular wear on it but other than that it's awesome i love it!! thanks abunch!!

Mine was missing a button, but a great phone. Get's great service through AT&T. ITunes is awesome! I highly recommend this phone. Light, thin, and durable! Great alternate to those who don't really like the flip phones that much!
