Motorola’s Hot New Slvr Cell Phone
First, it really is a sliver. Here’s a photo from the site:
And it’s eating into Motorola’s Rokr territory by being iTunes-enabled. We weren’t totally thrilled by the Rokr’s music muscle–hope the Slvr has a better showing in our testing (it has the same 100-song limitation, however). Here is a picture showing the face:
If you were searching for a phone to replace your iPod, keep waiting. But if you want a sleek phone compatible with your iTunes music collection, then Motorola Inc.’s new Slvr L7 might be right.
Like the Rokr E1, the first collaboration between Motorola and Apple Computer, the Slvr plays up to 100 songs from an iTunes music library. That limitation–plus criticism that the Rokr lacked style–did not distinguish Motorola as a serious player in the emerging category of music-playing mobile phones.
The Slvr also has some other nice features. It is Bluetooth, it has up to 512 megabytes of expandable memory, and an integrated VGA camera with a 4x zoom and video capture and playback. Currently it is sold through Cingular wireless, and that is the only way you are going to get it.
So get a plan from Cingular or wait a few months.
