Motorola L6 Review - Introduction & Design
Introduction & DesignThe New Motorola L series are an innovative upgrade of the world famous RAZR. The L series phones are for people who like the thin style of the RAZR, but do not like clamshell / flip phones. There are three L series phones that have been released already by Motorola. 
Depending on what features you need in your phone, and how much you are willing to spend, there are 3 choices; Motorola L2, L6 and L7. I will be reviewing the Motorola L6 and help you differentiate between the models, so you can choose the best one for your needs. The L2 cost less than the L6 but is very limited in features. The L6 cost less than the L7 and has only minor feature differentials like amount of memory. Read on to see which is the best choice for YOU!
The Motorola L6 has an elegant design and currently is one of the thinnest phones on the market. The phone has a metallic feel to it, but at the same time it is very light weight. The glass on the screen is scratch resistant, which I believe is a must on every phone, because they are bound to get scratched from daily usage. The design of the L6 is what makes it stand out from other phones, although it is very thin, it is not too wide like the Razr. The L6 comes in three colors: Black, Pink and silver.

Reviews by companyApple, BenQ, BlackBerry, Eten, HTC, LG, Motorola, Nokia, o2, Palm, Pantech, Samsung, Sanyo, Sharp, Sony EricssonOur fancy algorithm says this stuff is related...Basic FeaturesThe L6 I used for this review is a quad band GSM phone, meaning it works on all GSM Networks world wide. Although mine is quad band, there is also tri-band with no 850 band. Depending on where you are located, you should double check which version is best for you. You can put .mp3 ring tones and pictures on this phone via mini USB cable and Motorola phone tools. The speaker is loud enough to hear music but the limited memory is... The display on the L6 is quite good, it is bright, but in my opinion the screen is kind of small. Although you can see everything, a nice big screen is always a plus. The size difference between the L6 and L7 is very minimal (4 mm taller), but with the L7 they gave you a smaller black trim around the screen which can be seen in the photo below. This minor change gives the L7 display a longer and bigger presence.
One... The Motorola L6 has built in Java (J2ME) which now comes standard with most phones. The Java 2 Micro Edition (J2ME) allows the user of the L6 to add software applications. Java programs for phones are now becoming widespread so there are many different programs that you can obtain such as games, calculators, and dictionaries. J2ME games are known to also come internet-enabled making it possible to play against someone else. There are... The L6 is beautifully made and has a very elegant design. I do like the material of the L6. It feels like metal but is very light weight. The phone looks very durable because of the casing but because of the material it is prone to scratches. Even with a scratch resistant screen it is still exposed at all times so you have to handle this phone with much care.
In conclusion the L6 is an excellent choice because it is in between the L2 and...
