Review: Motorola SLVR L6

The Motorola SLVR L6 ($299 direct) has a lot in common with Motorola's U6 PEBL. Both are design-focused rather than feature-heavy, both will stand out from any crowd of generic flip phones, and both work best on the T-Mobile wireless network.
The difference is that the SLVR is a thin, slab-style phone and the PEBL is a rounded flip phone. The SLVR is even lighter and thinner than the Motorola RAZR V3; at 3 ounces and 0.4 inches thick to the RAZR's 3.4 ounces and 0.5 inches. Otherwise, the SLVR shouts its RAZR heritage loudly. The phone looks like a butterfly-shaped reconfigured RAZR, with the same angular lines, high-tech button styles, and slim profile. Dedicated side buttons launch the VGA camera/camcorder and WAP browser, though we were stymied by the lack of physical volume buttons. The phone's metal case is definitely handsome but not all that sturdy; just like we found with the RAZR, dropping the SLVR loosened one of the panels (though it snapped right back into place with a little pressure.)
