Motorola L6

The Motorola L6 is a strange item to review - it can be excellent and it can be awful: it depends who you are and how you want your phone to be. After this review, hopefully you can make your own judgement on whether this phone is just right for you. And the digestive biscuit themed title will be explained at the end! == PHONE BUILD == The phone is incredibly thin and this is a good thing - it fits into pockets so snugly: a down point is when sitting ...
...very hard to get comfortable with. The side buttons are quite cool and accessible - the left one being the internet access and the right being the camera which is quite helpful. The screen can get smudged really easily though, and this can be large problem and can get very annoying quick having to clean it, or live with a messy screen! The keypad buttons can be tricky as they are very close and this can be a problem, especially when used to more ...

Review of Motorola L6

...wanted a quick, cheap replacement Motorola after my Razr suddenly went out of action. It does have a handful of good points, but you'll quickly see how the negatives outweigh the positive. Size: The L6i is a very sleek and slim phone. At just 12mm thick its possible to pat your pocket and not realise its there. On the other hand, it is about 10cm long. In my opinion this is too long. I like to carry my phone in my back pocket. If you lay it horizontally, ...
...comes with a number of Motorola phones. This is also the same connection that is used to charge the phone Charging: This phone will not charge from a computer. While it is plugged into the computer, for synchronising and transfer of pictures etc, it claims to be full battery, but as soon as you unplug it, the battery indicator changes back to whatever it was before. Phones before this one (ie supposedly less technologically up-to-date) were all ...

Review of Motorola L6

...and to a good friend's Motorola RAZR in the pub last night which was a lot easier. Sending stuff via Bluetooth can be a bit of a pain. It also can be connected to Bluetooth headsets which are easy as pie to set up. Computers on the other hand ned a suitable Bluetooth adaptor. I have been advised that you need the drivers specific to the phone. These drivers are a bugger to find on the internet so if you want to do this then get a Bluetooth adaptor ...
...people have confused for the more expensive Motorola L7 SLVR. Compared to my Siemens MC60 it is fantastic although die hard Nokia users will have some problems with it. Me I will always go for German engineering over Scandinavian uniformity any day, despite my Nordic ancestry, and Motorola being American. ...

Review of Motorola L6

...was simply this, buy a Motorola L6 for £69.97, get a free bluetooth headset for the car or walking about if you want to look like a total wally. Pretty good so far I thought, then I read further, £5 of airtime preloaded onto the phone with an additional £10 voucher inside the box. So £15 of airtime a new phone and a new funky headset. Inside the quite large box I discovered all the items named above plus a charger which connects to the phone via ...
...manual and a quick set up booklet. Within minutes I was up and running and in the process of learning my new phone. It has the normal features of organiser calculator and such in the applications section of the easy to use menu system. The menu system seems to be a bit more logical than some mobiles I have had, so it did not take long to navigate through the extensive features. The phone also has a 1.3 mega pixel camera which takes decent photos ...

Review of Motorola L6

Even though I actually bought this phone about a year and a half ago, I feel absolutely no embarrassment about using it in front of friends. Its slim-line DESIGN and large, bright colour SCREEN keep it young and stylish even though perhaps some of the features need updating. The back of the CASING(holding the battery and sim) can be a bit fiddly to get off, depending on how long your fingernails are! However, nothing is falling apart and physically ...
...good thing! Unfortunately, the once classic and stylish SILVER COLOURING is now just making it look tacky, as you can see clearly on every button where it has been worn away. I find the KEYPAD very fiddly to use even now that I'm used to it, as the buttons are completely flat with only a small ridge between them, which makes it easy to press the wrong one, especially when texting. Consequently, I actually sometimes find myself having to press the ...

Review of Motorola L6

When I first saw the Motorola L6, I was tempted to buy it especially because everyone states that it is the best phone company on the market. Having had an old Nokia 3410, I thought it was time for a bit of a change. Some say the Motorola L6 is excellent when it comes to value for money (including me) but there are many things the American company still need to add to thier excellent product. First, let me tell you about some of the good things ...
...of charge very quickly. The motorola charger cable also fits into most other Motorola handsets (including the Motorola V3) because of it's hugely original feature which is a small USB connection. The types of ringtones this phone can hold I think are phenomenal! It can play all sorts of ringtones from MP3 to realtones to polyphonic, anything you like basically!!But what I found amazing is that the Motorola L6 has bluetooth and it only costs about ...

Review of Motorola L6

...sad farewell to my old Motorola brick, I dropped it into the black bin with a great big thud. It kicked into life for one last time, to play a haunting version of Waltz Sing Matilda by Rolf Harris on his Stylophone! A very moving moment, I nearly dived back in to save it before I courageously shut the dustbin lid on my old faithful for the last time! I drove into Birmingham to find a replacement straight away, in order to forget the past . As it ...
...He pointed at the Motorola L6 and told me the price. Virgin (the phone company, not the spotty youth) was selling it for £50 with £5worth of free calls already loaded on! I took one look at it and thought there must be a catch! It looked really modern and if it had been a Catwalk model it would have been a size 0! It had loads of features, more than I could understand or cope with and it was available in pink or silver! I liked it immediately, ...

Review of Motorola L6

...the good looks of the Motorola L6. I used my local Carphone Warehouse, and was pleased to find that the model is available on both pay as you go and contract with all of the major network providers so was able to pick the best one for me. I plumped for a £50 package with Orange on pay as you go, receiving £5 of airtime and a bluetooth headset (which I don't use much, but is great for Britney Spears impressions at parties!!). The phone itself is ...
...and 49mm wide, but it's only around 11mm in depth, so fits very easily into any pocket, and at only around 80g in weight does not cause a bulge or any pulling, even when placed in a shirt pocket. The set up and starter instructions in the box are very easy to understand and I was up and running very quickly. The phone is bluetooth compatible, together with WAP and USB, so can be used in conjunction with just about any modern gadgetry, all of which ...

Review of Motorola L6

I bought the Motorola L6 mobile phone, from the Carphone Warehouse in May 2006. This model is still available to buy in stores. I bought this mobile for £60, excluding the credit I needed to buy in store, which was £10. I found that the staff were nearlly forcing me into changing to contact instead of PAYG (Pay As You Go). I had not used the mobile before, but had seen on TV ads, and on billboards, and in shop windows that this phone is meant to ...
...memory is 10MB. The Motorola L6 has both a camera, and a video camera. A feature which nearlly all new phones have today. I do not know why this was even considered on the phone. The video quality was very very bad. The camera was 640 x 480 pixels. The maximum you could record video for, is 15 seconds. Having both short video time, and poor quality video, did not make me very happy about the phone. Being able to hold 4 - 5 songs on the phone. I ...

Review of Motorola L6

I've had this phone for quite a while now, I am not really impressed with it at all but am waiting until I can afford something a lot better. I used to think it was really stylish but the thinness just gets on my nerves (it's hard to find in my handbag!) and the colour embarrasses me even though I love pink because it's stylish but a bit too 'in your face'. The camera isn't too bad, there are no camera options though, apart from a digital zoom which ...
...don't feel as if I want to get this phone out and start taking photos - it's not exactly quick and I always seem to click the wrong button! The bluetooth is appalling, it took me months and months to work out how to send a picture to someone else, and it isn't even in the book. As for the MP3 player, if you delete a lot of the pre-stored ringtones you can fit a whole 2 songs on it!!! Sometimes when the phone rings, I press the answer button and it ...

Review of Motorola L6

This is a small and sleek phone with basic functionality including camera, bluetooth and video capture. First of all the camera is not even worth using, the quality is just so poor for video and photo. The software on the phone really doesn't do it any justice. I may have been unlucky but within the first 6 months of having the phone it stopped showing the name of the people who were calling and just the number instead, and yes I checked it was definitely ...
...for about 50% of the calls that I received even when on loud or vibrate. And to top it all off it then stopped letting me view or edit phonebook entries, just taking me back to the main screen when I click the entry. GRRRR... The battery life is poor and needs charging at least every other day. You must purchase separate software to connect it to a PC unless you have bluetooth on the PC. The storage space is awful with only a few MB. It also does ...

Review of Motorola L6

I brought this phone for around £49 online for my birthday, which is fairly cheap considering some of its features: bluetooth, camera & video, trutone, JAVA, WAP. The bluetooth is very easy to use, the most easy method I've yet to come across, making sending files between phones & computers quick and simple. The phone also has USB so you can purchase a cable for it if you computer is not bluetooth enabled. Alternatively you can send files to a website ...
...camera is of quite good quality, but once a photo is stored it can appear distorted on the screen. This usually only happens with black & white pictures, but the image its self is not actually distorted. You can also change the colour and size of the pictures you wish to take. The video quality isn't brilliant but it can be increased if you're willing to sacrifice memory space. The keypad is fairly easy to use, but the layout can make texting difficult ...

Review of Motorola L6

I have the Motorola L6 the pink version and i have to say i love it. I have had it for 6mths and it has never gone wrong. I love the fact it is lightweight and slim and of course pretty and pink. The camera may not be your average 1megapixel+ but it takes clear pictures and the video camera is clear and does the job. Ok memory wise it could have had more space but you can't have everything when the price is very little. I transfer my photos and ...
...always have enough memory on my phone. Battery wise i find is ok, then again i guess it depends on how much you use your mobile to talk etc.. I find it easy to text and operate. Speakerphone is clear, ringtones are loud enough to hear. Has the usual calendar, alarm, calculator. Bluetooth can be abit of a pain where it has the find me part which is discoverable for 60secs then after sometimes goes off so you have to turn it on again. But i dont ...

Review of Motorola L6

Well, i got my Motorola L6 for Christmas last year and it has served me well i suppose although i have always found it annoying that i can seemingly only have 2 songs on the phone and a couple of videos as the memory is so low on it. The sound quality is average but that doesn't really matter as you can only fit 2 songs on the phone even after deleting all of the default ones (i mean, all of the ones it lets you delete, some you cannot and they are ...
...in my opinion). The camera and video camera are both pretty good for the price of the phone i would say. I havn't had any trouble with either of them and use them regularly although the only downside of them is that you need a well lit place to use them. The battery durability is very good i think as i use my phone a lot and i only have to chage my phone every couple of days, sometimes more. That is leaving it on all night and all day. I think this ...
