If you thought the RAZR V3 was cool, you'll love the latest addition to Motorola's line of super-chic, super powerful phones, the SLVR L7. Packing all the great functionality of the RAZR V3, plus a few more bells and whistles like removable memory, the SLVR L7 adopts a thin, candy-bar form factor that is sure to turn heads. The SLVR L7 also adds support for iTunes, allowing you to play, sort, store, and manage your music right on the phone. With long-range Bluetooth, support for video playback, a VGA (640 x 480) camera, and a gorgeous color screen, the quad-band SLVR L7 is a great way to get the most out of your Cingular service.

<small><b>The plot thins: The SLVR L7 is less than half an inch thick (black version shown). See it in 3D (Flash).</b> <small></td></tr></table> <B>Design</B>
At less than a half-inch thick, the SLVR L7 redefines the ultrathin phone category. A large 176 x 220 color display with 262,000 colors resides above the handset's backlit control pad, which is precision cut from a single sheet of nickel-plated copper alloy. The VGA camera lens is housed on the rear of the phone, while up/down buttons are placed on the left side. There's also a highly accessible mini-USB port on the right side of the phone for data synchronization and music transfer, as well as a covered slot for inserting a microSD or TransFlash memory card. The phone comes pre-installed with a 512 MB card--plenty of room to hold up to 100 songs.

<B>Calling Features</B>
The SLVR L7's internal phone book can hold up to 1,000 contacts, and the phone's picture ID system allows you to assign pictures to your most common callers. It also supports polyphonic ringtones as well as music 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's MEdia 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, and voice-activated dialing makes calling your friends, family, and associates as easy as saying their names.

Because the SLVR L7 is Bluetooth enabled, wireless headsets can be configured with the phone for total hands-free operation.

<B>Messaging, Internet, and Tools</B>
The SLVR L7 is a messaging and wireless Internet powerhouse. Support is built in for sending and receiving pictures, text, graphics, sound, and video via messages. When used in combination with the phone's built-in still and video camera, MMS opens up a whole new world of messaging fun. Instant messaging is supported via AOL Instant Messenger, Yahoo Messenger, and ICQ, and the phone also ships with a built-in e-mail client with support for POP3 and SMTP protocols (Cingular messaging charges apply). Plus, there's a built-in Web browser for MEdia downloads and mobile Web browsing. Cingular's MEdia service lets you receive and send e-mails, read news headlines, get weather updates, download games and ringtones, and more. iTap text entry, which is a technology that makes it easier to enter words and text on handsets, is built in to the unit--a plus for mobile e-mail and text messaging users.

<small><b>The SLVR L7 seamlessly connects to iTunes software on your PC or Mac. iTunes software on the phone gives you complete control of your music.</b> <small></td></tr></table> Getting on the Internet is easy with the SLVR L7, as it supports Cingular's GSM-based Wireless Internet Express service. When used with a Cingular data plan and the phone's Bluetooth or USB data capability, the phone can be used as a wireless modem for laptops and PDAs.

A number of handy software tools are bundled with the SLVR L7, including a voice memo recorder, 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 to connect to a computer or handheld device to exchange and synchronize data. The phone also supports the SyncML PC synchronization standard, which can be used with Motorola's Mobile Phone Tools PC application to manage and synchronize contacts, calendar, and other data with your PC.

<B>Imaging and Entertainment</B>
With 5 MB of internal memory storage, plus a memory expansion slot, the SLVR L7 shines in the entertainment department. The phone's VGA camera features a 4x digital zoom, as well as video capture capabilities (up to 30 seconds in length). Capture stills and then send them to your friends via MMS messaging or e-mail, or to your PC via USB or Bluetooth. The phone is capable of MPEG4 video playback when you receive a video message or if you upload video to the phone via USB or Bluetooth. The SLVR L7 also supports custom graphics for wallpapers, so you can dress up the phone to suit your mood.

At its heart, the SLVR L7 is a music phone, and thanks to integration with iTunes, it makes a great digital music player. Using the included software, sync the SLVR L7 with your iTunes library on your PC or Mac and listen to up to 100 of your favorite songs while you're on the go. iTunes software on the phone lets you shuffle your music library or select songs by artist, album, or playlist. Built-in stereo speakers let you listen while you work or play, and a stereo headset jack makes it easy to jam out in private with the included earbuds.

Last but not least, support for gaming is built into the phone and games are available for download via the Cingular MEdia service.

<B>Vital Statistics</B>
The Motorola SLVR L7 weighs 3.5 ounces and measures 4.5 x 1.9 x .45 inches. Its lithium-ion battery is rated at up to 6 hours of digital talk time and up to 17 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.

practically no hassle, and ended up saving a lot of $$$, esp. with rebate.......2007-03-20

I just wanted to let people know that they don't have to worry about porting their number when purchasing new service with Cingular through Amazon. I was a little concerned about how smoothly this would go, given the mixed reviews, but it only took a couple hours. However, I am only giving 4 stars because the pink phone is a bit brighter than is depicted in the picture. Also, does anyone know how I can set my phone so that it does not roll over to voicemail so quickly when someone calls? I have not been able to find any settings for this, either on the phone, or through the voicemail feature. All in all though, I am enjoying my new phone!

Few complaints.......2007-02-18

I bought this phone in Nov/Dec. 2006 and have enjoyed it quite a bit.
Granted, I don't use the iTunes and special features all that much, but for what I use, it's good.
It fits easily into a jacket pocket or the pocket of a purse, which is nice. However, I do have to set it to vibrate *and* ring when it's tucked away or else I won't hear it in the store or another location with background noise. If it's out on a countertop or in my hand, it's plenty loud.
The buttons/keys are rather tiny and I have to use my fingernail to press them usually. A little aggrivating sometimes, but I have had no problems with the phone itself. Most people who complain about reception are probably dealing with a faulty phone or are not giving proper (dis-)credit to their service provider. I've never had reception problems with this phone.
I also found a good scratch-resistant screen protector on amazon (by Eforcity) for under $2 that fits this screen perfectly. You can't even see it.

Great phone.......2007-01-12

I bought an unlocked SLVR L7 Pink phone and it is really great. My son liked it so much he bought a black SLVR L7. I really don't have any complaints other than my Phone service doesn't support the phone at this time and I can't get any downloads, but that doesn't have anything to do with the phone itself.

Great mp3 player - terrible phone.......2006-12-30

If you are looking for an mp3 player and don't plan on talking on your phone much, then you may want to check out the SLVR. For the rest of you who like to use your phone TO TALK TO OTHER PEOPLE, I recommend buying a different phone. I am constantly having to say "what?" "huh?" "can you repeat that?" because of the totally digitized and fuzzy voice quality of this phone.

If that's not enough, the functionality is unintuitive. You have to press 5 buttons to dial the previously missed call. 8 buttons to get to voicemail. What?

Then of course, other functions are TOO easy to get to. Like firing up the web browser. Yeah, that's one touch and it's easy to accidentally press that button. Of course if you do, you get charged like 20 cents a second - a costly mistake that adds up.

But if that's not enough, you can't add information to an address entry without starting over and creating a new contact. It's insane. But if you want to add another phone number, unique ring tone, etc.....well, you can't because you there is no "save" option for the SIM card when you're editing. I bet several of my friends they couldn't save a ringtone to their name. No one could (and these are people who are tech-savvy and all work in the tech industry). This is ridiculous.

If I were the president of Motorola, I'd promptly fire the people who were in charge of this last piece of functionality. Embarrassing.

Addendum on Jan 14, 2006: Today, I took a picture using this phone and the camera froze and NO buttons work - not even the off button. Now, I'm waiting the four hours for the battery to die (4 hr battery life - one of the few good things about this phone) so that the software can reset. In the meantime, when people call my phone, the message is "The person you are trying to reach is not accepting calls at this time". And so there's no way to even leave a message. Four hours and counting....

Cute, but doesn't do it's job.......2006-12-20

Loved the look of this phone, loved the itunes, hated the phone. I had so much static on both ends, even with my reception showing 5 bars. I thought I got a bad phone, well the replacement was a little better, but still really far-away sounding and had some static. I wanted to love it, but it let me down. =(
