MotoSLVR L72
Here's a review I wrote for Yehey! Gadgets I’ve been without a cellphone for almost a month now. And yes, it’s torture—now that our society today is so technologically dependent on some form of communication, having no cellphone available is terrible! It was then a stroke of blind luck that we were asked to review the latest in the L-Series from Motorola, the MotoSlvr L72. And I just have to say, what a perfect time to get a brand spanking new phone! Basics It handles pretty much like its predecessors—so if you’re used to handling a Nokia or an Ericsson there may be some learning and readjustment needed for your fingertips—but other than that the user interface and menu is bright, easy to understand and completely intuitive that transition from an older or a different cellular phone brand will be negligible. With the large 176x220, 256k color display it’s hard not to miss the details! It’s super lightweight at an amazing 85 grams, you can even keep it in your shirt pocket and not notice it’s there! It has a built in 2 megapixel camera that you can adjust to landscape or portrait easily and then switch to video camera mode for when you need more than just photos. It even has a T-Flash slot for expanded memory, in case you need more than the allotted 24MB on the phone itself. Other features include a built in FM radio (which requires an add on earphone accessory) and a very easy to use Web interface, for those folks who want to stay online even while mobile. And of course, for folks who love to personalize their phones, you can change the color theme, the wallpaper (of course) and even put in MP3s and Wav files as your message and/or call alert. Also, it has a talk time of 4hours (give or take—I was playing one of its built in games for about that long before the battery ran out) and a standby time of about 300 or so hours. So considering you decide to use the phone for anything more than making calls, you have approximately 4 hours on a fully charged battery to do your thing. Full review here
