.: Motorola SLVR
Category:Home / Technology / Cell Phones
Nokia fans feast your eyes on this! Motorola has unleashed it’s first candy bar style phone that is razor thin and weighs in at just 9 grams - even lighter than the Motorola RAZR! Introducing the Motorola SLVR for Cingular customers.
Motorola SLVR for Cingular is pronounced SLIVER (thin is in) and not silver as some of us first thought. Earlier Motorola SLVR was actually code named ‘Royal Blade’ and for good reason. It’s got a sharp razor like look to it.
Side by side comparison:
Motorola RAZR- 3.9 by 2.2 by 0.6 inches; 3.3 ounces
Motorola SLVR- 4.5 by 1.9 by 0.5 inches; 2.9 ounces
A quick side by side comparison shows that the Motorola SLVR 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 Motorola SLVR 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, Motorola SLVR L7 for Cingular 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. Early indications are that the Motorola SLVR may be that cell phone.
