 Very popular. 100 song mp3 player built in! 63 of 68 people found this review helpful.
I had replaced my Sony Ericsson with this Motorola L7 Itunes phone. I had it a few months. I have no complaints of signal or workmanship of the product.
What I like: Is the built in mp3 player. Also the ability to hook up to my computer with no hassle. Just a simple USB plug. I like this cause any picture I take using phone I can transfer easy to computer or from computer to phone too. Not like the older phones. With these, the only way to communicate or send pictures etc to computer is mostly by sending email by phone or use of special hook ups and drivers. A pain to obtain. But with THIS phone, its no problem.
What I don't like: Well there's alot here. First, the pictures on this phone is too small. (less than 1 megapixal) When I load to computer, picture is less than 1/4 the screen size. I cannot accept this size for my picture collecting library. So for me, the camera is useless! Second, Mp3 player can only do 100 songs. No matter the size of memory SD card is. No WMAs (windows media audio) in this player. Figures! (like apple ipods). One big thing I DON'T like here too. An adaptor is needed to use earphones for the mp3 player. If I loose it, it will be difficult to obtain another. Would like better if phone had a standard earphone jack on it instead of having to use the adaptor.
So overall, this phone is a little behind on todays technology. What would be so neat if could improve on this L7 would be:
1. Fit as many songs memory card can hold. Not stop at 100.
2. If camera was at least 1 megapixel (1.2 MP)
3. Having a standard earphone jack. NO special adaptors needed!

I was sick and tired of getting the phone that within a month, Cingular would have it as their "go phone/pre-paid phone" and wouldn't offer much support with it. I decided to dig deep in my pockets and purchase this phone, along with a special offer of free bluetooth set, free car charger, and a $50 rebate. The rebates now come in the form of Visa Cards. They are good to pay for ringtones, or anything that is less than $50.
To the phone itself:
Pros:
* Very thin phone that you can place in your pockets
* Itunes capability to put up to 100 songs on it (that is if you can make it past 20...see below)
* You can actually now save your ringtones onto a memory card or to the phone. Easier to take your tones with you if you ever switch phones.
* Variety of colors
* Save movies, photos, and more
* You can plug it into your computer to charge it.
Cons:
* Heavier than expected for it to be this thin
* Battery runs down fast if you play the MP3s a lot.
* Mine does not hold more than 20 songs in it.
* Speaker to carry conversation is VERY weak. Speaker to listen to music is very loud. I don't get the justification on this. What is the point of having speaker to talk if you can't hear a word even with the other person pretty much yelling?
* Bluetooth was not loud and it was like I had the phone to my ear. Salesman told me that it was louder than talking with speaker.
* The signal is poor at times and sometimes it takes 3 times to call someone before it connects on your end, even though the other person has picked up and been hung up on.
* Photos are not of good quality when uploaded to computer
* Even when phone is on silent, when you go to charge it (plug in, car, or via computer) you get a very loud beep. This can be very annoying.
* Contrary to the belief, you cannot use any or part of your mp3s as a ringtone.
* MP3s must be I-tunes capable. No WMA files allowed.
Overall, I would not recommend this phone as it is obviously overpriced for the features that don't work. I was shocked that for this to be a thinner phone that it was as heavy as it was. It was like Motorola took a step backwards. If you are looking for a phone to play MP3s (which you cannot use as ringtones), I would wait until this one is cheaper than $100 to purchase. Otherwise, you are wasting your money.
