Motorola SLVR combines superb performance with cutting-edge features, all within the sleek design of one of the slimmest phones around. Don’t just make a call – make a statement.

• Price Range :  $196.11 to $264.40

The Motorola Slvr L7’s 262,000-color, 176×122-pixel display measures 1.8 inches diagonally, making it large enough for the phone’s size. It’s great for scrolling through the menus, viewing photos, and playing games, yet it does disappear in direct light. Be warned that it also catches finger smudges easily.

Featured on the front, a 262K-color LCD screen displayed images at up 176 x 220 px in resolution. A 5-way navigational keypad is surrounded by Menu, Send, Power / End, and Left and Right soft keys, while the numeric keypad allows for iTAP predictive text messaging.

The SLVR L7 is clearly about stunning looks and extreme portability. The polished metal keyboard (just like the RAZR’s) is one of the best pieces of industrial design we’ve seen, offset by the phone’s matte black finish and topped by a vibrant, glossy display. The phone is thin enough to slip into the tightest of pockets, but at 4.5″ tall x 1.9″ wide, it’s at best a medium sized phone that’s nearly the same height at the Cingular 2125 smartphone and wider (smartphones tend to be bigger than feature phones). But yes, the SLVR is only .43″ thick while the Cingular 2125 is .69″, and even the RAZR V3 is .54″ thick (and a bit wider). If you’re shopping for a thin and attractive phone and are a candybar fan, this is it. If you want a tiny clamshell, look elsewhere. And be prepared to wipe down your pretty phone; the SLVR’s keypad and display show fingerprints and facial oil like crazy.
