Need to trim down? The Motorola L6 is the answer. This stylish, quad-band world phone has more than just great looks, with features like Bluetooth, mobile email, a speakerphone, voice dialing, a camera, and more. Now you can have a skinny phone that's big on the features that make your life easier.

<table align=right width=150 cellpadding=10> <tr> <td> <img src="http://images.amazon.com/images/G/01/wireless/detail-page/motoL6-1.jpg" border=0 align=top>

Your thin friend. See the features of the Motorola L6 in detail. You can also see it in 3D.</td></tr></table> Design
At less than a half-inch thick, the L6 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. The VGA camera unit is placed on the back of the phone.

Calling Features
The L6'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. Picture and ringer ID functions let you assign photos or ringtones to incoming callers, while a voice dialing feature lets you call your contacts by speaking to the phone. Plus, a built-in speakerphone makes it easy to talk without having the phone to your ear.

Because the L6 is Bluetooth enabled, wireless headsets can be configured with the phone for total handsfree operation.

Messaging, Internet, and Tools
The L6 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 L6, 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.

Imaging and Entertainment
The L6's built-in camera is ready to take 640 x 480 pictures whenever you need to -- so you're always ready to capture life's unexpected moments. You can even capture 15-second videos with the camera. The phone also supports custom graphics for wallpapers so you can dress it up 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 L6 weighs 2.8 ounces and measures 4.33 x 1.93 x .41 inches. Its lithium-ion battery is rated at up to 5.8 hours of digital talk time, and up to 380 hours 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.

Good Enough for Now.......2007-06-10

I've had this phone for awhile now, and I can personally say that this kind of phone is reserved for those who just want a phone. Not someone who is borderline wanting an iPhone, SYNC phone, or phones of that kind.

This phone has horrid camera picture quality. Speakerphone is all right, but I'm sure there are better. The buttons are diffcult to get used to, and isn't instantly user friendly. Changing the volume on your videos is non-existent, or changing the volume on the sounds in general is non-existent.

Nevertheless, although there is an overwhelming majority of con's about this phone, it's fairly decent and better than I could ever ask for considering it's my first cellphone.

I think the best thing about this phone is its crash-and-survive capability. Meaning, I've dropped this phone (at least) 15 times, yet it still works fine. Surprisingly enough, no obvious scratches either! Still spotless after 15 drops! I love that, and I want that kind of resistance in my next phone.

Motorola has done it again, with another innovative phone.......2006-12-04

I also just purchased the Motorola SLVR L6 (black edition) from Ebay. I received it a few days ago, and I have to say, it's a great phone. It actually looks like a sleek new MP3 player; something the Apple would produce, and amazingly thin. This phone is so slim, it'll fit perfectly into the even the tightest pair of jeans.

The fact that the body of the phone is made almost entirely of metal, rather than traditional plastic, like most other phones, ensures durability and rigidity, which is perfect for someone who's clumsy like me, or just wants to have a phone that'll last for ages. It features a high-grade scratch-resistant glass screen that, unfortunately is limited to only 65,000 colors.

True, the phone lacks an expansion slot for a memory card, like it's "big brother" phone, the Motorola SLVR L7 (which, although it has a few more features than the L6, L7 was actually released before the L6, making the latter one of Motorola's newest phones to date), but if you're a person who really only wants a good-looking phone that handles all the basics and aren't a person for doing much downloading, then not having a memory card will suit you just fine. However, unlike the Motorola SLVR L7, the L6 was built with 10.0 MB of space, whereas the L7 was built with only 5.0. Really, the L7 only comes with a memory card because it features iTunes, and of course, Motorola knew that everyone who bought the L7 was going to take advantage of the iTunes features at some point.

The L6 features a fully-integrated VGA camera with 4x zoom, and various light settings like sunny, indoors-office, indoors-home, antique, black-and-white, and of course, color. True, the pictures do come out grainy, but I'm a cell phone aficionado, and trust me, there are phones out there with cameras that are MUCH worse. An avid photographer should not expect this phone to replace his/her digital camera, however. As for the video recorder on the L6, like the picture quality of its camera, the quality of the videos is also grainy. Still, it does produce very clear, sharp sound, which was a surprise. Usually, if you get a phone that's able to record videos, the sound isn't so good, even if the actual video quality is.

MP3s that are downloaded to the phone are wonderfully loud and crystal clear. In fact, I haven't heard of a Motorola phone yet that doesn't produce great-sounding MP3s. I will say, though, that buying a USB cable for this phone may be in your best interest. You can synchronize this phone with your computer, send photos to and from the phone (which I found that when you're sending photos to the phone, from your computer, the phone automatically resizes the image, which is fabulous), and of course, you're able to send MP3s from your computer, to your phone.

The L6 also features Bluetooth technology, Class 2 (which means you can use your Bluetooth headset and/or share files with other Bluetooth-enabled electronics within a 10-meter radius). A few days ago, my friend sent a few nice MP3s to my phone, without the use of wires, which is always a plus.

The speakerphone, which is a feature that Motorola phones excel at, is wonderful. The phone calls are always very loud and clear, however as with all speakerphones, it has a tendency to pick up background noises. Still, one is able to hold a speakerphone conversation 10 or so feet away with very little problem.

Moving on, I am a T-Mobile customer. The Motorola SLVR L6 and L7 were released exclusively for Cingular. However, with a quick phone call to T-Mobile's tech support department, I was able to get my phone configured for T-MobileWeb and exclusive T-Zones browser without a single problem. Remember: you can only get your phone configured to a browser or network other than Cingular, if the phone is UNLOCKED. If you purchase your L6 phone LOCKED, you will only be able to use it on the Cingular network. (...unless you are able to find a phone dealer who can unlock your phone. I believe that costs money, though. Why even bother with that, when you can just get the phone unlocked to begin with?)

The L6 comes with an 820 mAh Lithium-Ion battery. Motorola rated the L6's battery at an impressive 5.15 hours of talking time and 372 hours of standby time, which is only slightly less than the L7's optimal times.

I have to say, it takes a little while to figure out all the different features of the phone, even with the manual. Still, don't take that as a hint that the phone is impossible to use, unless you're tech-savvy. That is not so. It just takes a little playing around with, to get used to.

Conclusively, the Motorola SLVR L6 (though it doesn't have very many accessories) is a really amazing phone. Not only is it super-stylish and slim, but it also costs about $50 less than the L7. Though it may not have all the features of the L7, such as iTunes and an expansion slot for up 512 MB of additional memory, it still makes quite the name for itself as Motorola's latest phone in the SLVR family.

cool little phone.......2006-10-19

I like this phone. It satisfies all your basic needs without being overly complicated. I agree with the other review about the menus that aren't that intuitive, but you'll figure it out. For some reason, it's hard to hit the "2" button, which slows down dialing and text messaging. In fact, it's hard to dial, but no more so than any of those slim profile phones that have the numbers flush with the backing (as opposed to old style button-type).

Plus, I just think it's the coolest looking phone out there right now. Limited accessories (cases and such), though.

European version... bad software.......2006-10-13

I bought this phone 3 months ago from a t-mobile vendor. He told me it had all the same internals as the RAZR V3 (which my wife got). This phone had lower reception than the V3, but I passed it off as not a big problem. After a couple weeks I started having problems with the phone such as charging issues, dead battery that had to be replaced, and software newances that were unlike any other Moto phone I'd ever had. Come to find out when I called Motorola that the phone was built for another country, and they are not even going to uphold their 1 year warrantee. I guess I'm up a creek without a paddle until my contract is up and I can get a different phone again... or shell out close to 200 bucks for an unlocked phone. Shame on Motorola for selling a second rate product, and shame on the dealer for selling non-genuine, non-warranteed murchandise.

Great Phone....But Just a LIttle Over-rated.......2006-07-06

I won this item on Ebay. I recieved it 2 days ago, and love it. The quality of the calls and the thin-ness of it are great, but there are a few things that I am irritated about.
Pros:
1. The Phone is very thin, and very lightweight.
2. It has an edge to it, and I notice people glancing at it when I walk past them.
3. The Quad-band allows for great reception
4. The USB cord (extra) that I perchased as well is a MUST HAVE. Not only does it allow you to take the pictures off of your phone to the computer, it allows you to put photos on it as well. You can upload any song that is on your computer and transfer it to your phone through the USB cord. The quality of the songs are great. You may then use them as your ring-tone.
5. The memory on the phone is much better than expected for such a thin phone.
6. Fast Charge- Doesn't take more than 1 hour to charge the battery up to 85%.
CONS:
1. Crappy Camera- It is a low resolution VGA camera.
2. Complex menus- Harder for some elders to control.
3. Okay battery life- I've seen better.
4. Keypad DEFINATELY too small for people with large fingers.
5. Screen resolution lower than other motorola models- such as the V551.

Over all the phone is VERY great. I havent dropped any calls yet and I get great coverage (better than with my old phone). Some calls are a little harder to hear, but I believe that has to do more with the noise around you than the quietness of the phone. I would recomend this phone to anyone who LOVES their cellphone and are wanting a higher end phone than many of the phones sold today. Motorola is truely the best cellphone company.
