The Motorola Slvr L6 cell phone is slimmer than the Motorola Razr phone

Nokia fans feast their eyes on Motorola’s first “candy bar” style cell phone that is razor thin and weighs just 9 grams, which is lighter than the Motorola Razr phone. The name of Motorola’s new phone is “Slvr”, pronounced “splinter”. This cell phone is also known as the L6 or L7, and was actually codenamed the “Royal Blade” because it has a sharp look and feel without the flip cover. A quick side-by-side comparison shows that the Motorola “Slvr” is slightly longer and wider than a closed Razr phone. It would be quite easy to forget about this cell phone in your pocket.

It was designed especially for Nokia customers who prefer a razor-thin Cingular phone but dislike flip phones. One of the features that sets this cell phone apart from Motorola Razr phones 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. Interestingly, it lacks a headphone jack, which is strange since it has an MP3 player. You could use the USB port for headphones though. Some industry insiders speculated that “Slver” would launch with a Motorola Bluetooth headset, and they were right. When it comes to talk time and standby time, this cell phone offers more than the Motorola Razr phone. It is a quad-band GSM phone that includes Bluetooth Class 2, Push-to-Talk (PTT), VGA camera, SCREEN3 and MP3 player.

There’s been a lot of talk about Motorola developing another razor phone that will lure traditional Nokia phone buyers into Motorola cell phone customers. Stay tuned, the Motorola “Sliver” is now available at special prices online if one purchases a new service plan from Cingular.
