Motorola SLVR L7 Unlocked Phone with Camera, MP3/Video Player, and MicroSD Slot--International Version with No Warranty (Black)

Terrible reception (2010-07-10) : 1/5
Reception for this phone is terrible. Will not work in my home or at work. My 4 year old motorola KRZR worked great in these locations. Thankfully Amazon allowed me to return this phone for a full refund. Purchased this phone based on high ratings from previous reviews. But in my area phone is useless.

Great Phone, Possibly Indestructible (2010-04-29) : 4/5
I realize that the Motorola SLVR L7 is a bit low-tech compared with most moderrn phones, but I still find myself going back to this phone again and again. I'm not a clumsy guy, but I do drop my phone on occaision - my SLVR has been dropped innumeral times but it still does not appear to be damaged and functions fine. Secondly the battery life is incredible, sometimes lasting in excess of a week. Cons - no querty keyboard, poor camera, no 3G, not really any high tech features. This phone is for people who want a phone that functions well as a phone and nothing else.
Good phone; just don't use it for text messaging unless you're fluent in Spanish. (2010-04-29) : 2/5
This is a good phone in terms of how reliable it is. Minimum of bells and whistles, solid construction and good reception. The thing about it that earned the 2 stars is that the predictive text system is so stupid it qualifies for its own DSM V diagnostic rating. Firstly, it's in Spanish. This is cool as the States has a large Spanish-speaking population. What's extremely *not* cool about it is that the Product Description fails to tell the buyer this. Also, the thing I liked about my previous phone was that I could teach the predictive text function just by adding new words to the correct spelling definitions, a must for anyone with a large vocabulary. Sadly, this phone does not retain the English spellings I repeatedly put into it.

So if you're a Spanish speaker and you're looking for a good phone, this is the thing for you. If not, then go elsewhere.
Great little travel phone (2010-04-22) : 4/5
I bought this phone to take with me on trips to Europe as I use a CDMA phone in the states. The phone came with a sim card from Mobal.com and after charging it up and activating the sim card, it just worked. I was able to text and call with no problem in Belgium and the Netherlands. It's a somewhat basic phone, but that's all I wanted. I was impressed with some of the intelligent typing as well. Not have a full keyboard means typing is slower, but the phone is pretty smart about figuring out what you are trying to write.
