Motorola SLVR
Encyclopedia : M : MO : MOT : Motorola SLVR
The Motorola SLVR (pronounced 'sliver') is the name for a series of extremely thin candybar-style mobile phones from Motorola consisting of:
- Moto L2 (see below)
- SLVR L6
- SLVR L7 and soon to be announced SLVR L7 with i-mode
The phones are thinner than their cousin, the RAZR, and the newest version of the phone (SLVR L7, formerly known as the V8) is one of a few phones currently out featuring Apple Computer's iTunes support, allowing the user to play up to 100 downloaded tunes that are stored on the phone. Its keypad is derived from the RAZR's, albeit without the dedicated web browser and text messaging buttons. The SLVR L7 also features Bluetooth connectivity, a digital camera with 4x digital zoom and has a speakerphone. Carried in the United States by Cingular Wireless, and carried in Canada by Rogers, it superseded the earlier Motorola ROKR E1, which was withdrawn from the market due to lackluster sales. There is also a quad-band World Version of the L7 available internationally, which comes without the iTunes software. Instead, the standard Motorola Digital Audio Player is included.
There is a crack for iTunes that will increase the theoretical song capacity to 1000. The international "unlocked" version of L7 is technically able to add the iTunes software through software cracks like Motorola RSD lite and P2ktool. The cracked version will not sync with iTunes, so songs must be copied manually using flash memory.
Samsung has released the Samsung T509 to compete with the SLVR.
Interestingly, the SLVR, with its sleek black body, both resembles the monoliths of Stanley Kubrick's and has nearly the same physical dimensions (1:4.3:9.8 versus 1:4:9).
