You can get the Motorola SLVR L6 for under $50!
It just arrived over at our sponsor’s site: www.AmericaCell.com
Nokia fans feast your eyes on this! Motorola has unleashed it’s first candy bar style phone that is razor thin and weighs just 9 grams - it’s even lighter than the Motorola RAZR. SLVR is pronounced SLIVER (I guess thin is in) and not silver as some of us first thought. Earlier in the year SLVR L6 and L7 was actually code named ‘Royal Blade’ and for good reason. It’s got a sharp razor like look to it.
Side by side comparison:
RAZR- 3.9 by 2.2 by 0.6 inches; 3.3 ounces
SLVR- 4.5 by 1.9 by 0.5 inches; 2.9 ounces
A quick side by side comparison shows that the SLVR (Motorola Sliver) is not too much longer than a closed RAZR and just a tad wider. It would be pretty easy to forget about this phone in your pocket. (The interface resembles the Motorola ROKR but a lot sleeker.) SLVR was designed especially for those of us (Nokia fans)who prefer a razor thin phone but have an aversion to the clam shell form. One of the features that makes the Motorola L6 stand apart from the Razr phones from T-Mobile and Cingular is that it has a built-in MP3 player to play your favorite songs plus a removable TransFlash memory card so you can store your favorite music files on it.
Oddly though, SLVR L7 does lack a headphone jack which seems strange because it has an MP3 player, though you could use the USB port for headphones. Some industry experts are speculating that SLVR will be released with a Motorola Bluetooth headset. When it comes to Talk Time and Standby Time, the SLVR has the RAZR beat in both: 6.33 to 3.00 and 420 to 200, respectively. This is a quad band GSM phone that includes Bluetooth Class 2, Push-to-Talk (PTT), VGA camera, SCREEN3 and a MP3 player.
There has been a lot of talk over the past year, in cell phone circles, about Motorola developing another razor thin phone (in candy bar form) that will attract traditional Nokia phone buyers and turn them into Motorola cell phone users. Many are assuming that the Sliver will initially be offered by Cingular. Stay tuned, Motorola Sliver will be available soon with special online pricing.

Nextel now has it’s very own Smartphone the Motorola i930! There has been online talk about Nextel and Motorola releasing a Smartphone for at least two years now. But now it’s no longer talk, the Motorola i930 for Nextel is reality. Well, it’s almost the perfect Nextel phone. (not to be overly critical, but we got to remain objective, right!?) The Motorola i930 lacks two essential features that most leading PDA’s usually have like Bluetooth and a backlit QWERTY keyboard. Ok, call me spoiled ( I love Bluetooth and my Treo 650 has a touch screen need I remind?)
One could make a strong case indeed that the Motorola i-930 for Nextel doesn’t require Bluetooth as a necessary component because I-930 has Nextel’s famous walkie-talkie features and supports Nextel Direct Connect and Direct Talk Services and that’s just for appetizers. This Smartphone from Nextel has a ton of great features going for it that will make it a very popular Nextel phone.
Anybody planning to travel soon? Well if you are, this phone could be a very useful companion because it’s designed for use in over 100 countries around the world (i930 has some real serious network compatibility as it works with iDEN 800, 900, GSM 800, and 1900 ! ) without changing the SIM card, now that’s a lot of convenience! Add to that, the fact that this Nextel Smartphone operates on Windows Mobile software, has near WiMax high speed downloads, plus includes Pocket Outlook, Pocket Explorer, ClearVue document viewing software and Windows Media Player software!
What more needs to be said, the majority of typical Nextel customers don’t need a QWERTY keyboard and Bluetooth. With a Windows Mobile SE operating system, a 180Mhz processor along with the Windows Media player to play MP3’s and a VGA Digital camera to boot it’s obvious that Motorola and Nextel pulled out all the stops on the i930.

The just released Samsung A900 for Sprint has a striking, (and I mean striking!) resemblance to the V3 (Black Razor ).You may say, hey hold on now tiger, but that was my first thought when I happen to have glanced at it, I thought I was actually looking at a Motorola Razr phone and as far as Samsung and Sprint are concerned I was looking at just that. Why shouldn’t the “razr phenomena” spread to other cell phone manufacturers besides Motorola. For cell phone consumers, Samsung A 900is wonderful and for Sprint it’s a godsend! Think about it, a Sprint Razr phone- albeit it’s not really a Motorola Razr but it ain’t chopped liver either.
A quick look at the specs sufficed to persuade me that the Samsung A-900 is no push over, it’s not just a Razr phone look-a-like it’s a darn good piece of technology. With EV-DO, we can download at near broadband speeds and watch in-demand TV and listen to music via Bluetooth!! Best of all, unlike the Cingular Razr and T-Mobile v3 that lack an MP3 player, the Sprint A900 by Samsung has an MP3 player (like the RazrV3C from Verizon) with dedicated front-mounted buttons!
On top of all them goodies, Samsung A 900 has a 1.3 Megapixel digital camera so you can send Sprint PCS PictureMail and or VideoMail! Kudos go out to Sanyo and Sprint for releasing this Razr clone. Samsung A-900 is causing a lot of smiles for the New Year especially because the A 900 Sprint phone is available for free with a new Sprint service plan!
