Motorola U6 PEBL, mobile phone

...(2006) I got the Pink Motorola Pebl. I've wanted a pink phone for a while (as its my favourite colour!) but I still wanted it to be a phone that I liked. I was looking around and I saw this one. I told my parents that was the phone I would like for Christmas. I didn't know if I was getting the phone or not so it was a pleasant surprise in Christmas morning when I opened the present and found it was the pink Motorola Pebl. My previous phone was a ...
...of it and knew that Motorola were reliable. ~ The Phone ~ The phone is oval and resembles a pebble (hence the name pebl!) It feels smooth and sits comfortably in my hand. The phone is a metallic pink colour. Opening the phone is slightly different than your usual flip phone. You hold the phone in your hand and use your thumb to pull the top towards you, the lid then flips up. This feels strange at first but I soon got used to it. There are magnets, ...

Review of Motorola U6 PEBL, mobile phone

Motorola - There was a time when the name Motorola conjured up thoughts of er... erm... who? Then they got famous and created v stylish trendy phones that models showed off down catwalks with and every Bar Pretension in the West End of London had chic cool ringtones being played over the jukeboxes they were so coo. Yes I use to hate Motorola phones for what they represented - the pointless affections of a waste of time lifestyle. But that doesn't ...
...should I say? Motorola have excelled themselves on this phone, but don't get confused by the advertising...... It is not a pebble - it doesn't really look like a pebble, it does look perfect for skimming across the flat, calm lakes of Geneva, and I found that it gets about 4 skips before sinking (my average is about 7 or 8 skips of a stone on water (but that's another review)) Anyway - my second Motorola phone I have not thrown across water like ...

Review of Motorola U6 PEBL, mobile phone

...but perfectly formed creature, the Motorola Pebl. I knew that it was to be 'the one' before I was aware of many of it's features; I was simply enticed by it's sleek, innovative appearance, available in an array or exciting and different colours such as festive red, a perfect sea blue and unique light green. It was a difficult decision as to which colour to choose. And, with it's soft touch, made it only even more charming, showing that a lot of thought ...
...that you can use this Motorola almost anywhere around the world, the Pebl U6 is a fresh face on the usually square and sometimes dull body in the land of mobile phones. It does have its faults but, in my opinion, those are very minor and something that you could easily cope with. Motorola have once again outdone themselves design wise and if, like me, this will be your first Motorola, you won't be disappointed! Definitely a brand that I would consider ...

Review of Motorola U6 PEBL, mobile phone

I brought the PEBL about 1 year ago now and it was great at the start., looks very stylish and it is very easy to use, but i have found the battery life is not very good i am for ever putting it on charge. The key pad i do like i have found it very easy to use mind i have some fingers so if you have larger fingers it may be a problem, i also like the flip open action again very easy to use, Downloading is easy and the sound is good, also the picture ...
...good in low light, you can completly rearrange the appearence of the phone too change the the buttons so they do different things, there are 3 small buttons on the side and you can alter what they do i have mine set as 1 for video cam 1 for camera and 1 for voice dialing but like i say you can change it to what ever you use the most so you can really make the phone unique. The phone also features :- Your main phone book which has a picture of a ...

Review of Motorola U6 PEBL, mobile phone

I love this little phone i had the razr before and loved that but when this came out i found that you could record videos on it so i upgraded it immediately. The functionality is still the same as the razr so the transition was easy. Pressing the centre navigation key takes you to the main menu where you can access all the features of this phone. The pebl is sleek and stylish and so tactile i love the feel, its oval shape fits nicely into the palm ...
...innovative sliding motion is very cool, but make sure you hold onto it i often slide it open and it flies out of my hand! it is however very robust and just bounces back! This phones functions include: - SMS messaging, sending messages on this phone is very easy there is an envelope symbol on the keypad pressing this takes you to your message centre where you can write a new message or check your inbox and outbox. When writing a new message there ...

Review of Motorola U6 PEBL, mobile phone

I bought the Motorola U6 Pebl on a bit of a whim - I liked the colour, and the range of features looked impressive. Admittedly it is likely that 2-by-4 would have had more features than my last phone but that is somewhat beside the point. I got my phone from Virgin - and due to a members offer managed to pick this phone up for the princely sum of £50 (not bad as the retail price is some £70 more than that). It is a good looking phone, with a reasonable ...
...a long established mobile brand with motorola as well. It cound do with a few more games to while away the moments, and a bit more memory - but other than that it a good solid buy - ESPECIALLY if you can pick it up on offer like I did. ...

Review of Motorola U6 PEBL, mobile phone

...wasn't keen. I love the motorola layout - with the buttons on the side and how easy it is to open this phone. Despite the Nokia being far more advanced and working well, after 9 months of use, i resorted to buying one of these on eBay. Admittidly this was triggered by a fallout with Orange, but that's another matter. On recieving this phone I was delighted, bought second hand for £38 it is a wonderfully designed phone and it looks fantastic and ...
...is. Excellent. It has the contarversial keypad which is completely flat - i personally love it, but it must be said this is a pretty mixed view between people. Now... the battery life, well the Nokia would go on for weeks - but this is out of juice before 1 week with the same type of use. And if you use it to talk on the phone - you can see the battery symbol dropping by the second! Also the camera is almost useless, you can't get a clear photo ...

Review of Motorola U6 PEBL, mobile phone

The day my new soft touch Pebl arrived I was overjoyed. It looks the business and even now people look and say "oooooh its the pebble". Unfortunately they don't have to live with one. Yes it's sexy and cool and the dual hinge design make it a must have but this cool piece have kit has many faults that could have been sorted. The magnetic strips that keep the phone closed wear away quite quickly and then make a nasty scraping sound when you open ...
...Not enough to hold many photo's, video's or ringtones/mp3 files. The soft touch outer casing also gets stained and scratched incredibly easily. On the up side, the camera is pretty good although the video isn't anything special it's more than satisfactory for short clips. The lazer cut keypad is almost touch sensitive and looks stunning when it's lit up. The battery life is fantastic- 3 to 4 days even when making calls, texts and browsing the WAP ...

...The motorola Peble also has a built in MP3 player that plays back music with an excellent sound quality. The speaker plays back the music quite loud so that you can listen to it in a noisy environment. The phone includes bluethooth for connecting it to other bluethooth enabled devices, e.g. mobile phone, computer, printer etc. and a bluetooth headset comes free with the phone as well. The phone has and excellent standby time and also an excellent ...

Review of Motorola U6 PEBL, mobile phone

LOOK AND FEEL: I first saw this phone on the internet and wanted it for ages. I got it for Christmas and ,although I had seen it in shops, I was a bit surprised at how big it was when I flipped it open. I got over this though, my phone before had been massive and I could easily adapt. I like the feel of the phone, it is smooth and quite a unique texture. I kept this phone in my pocket while I was at school, as I did my previous phone. One day I ...
...bit stained with blue ink. I thought this could be easily removed. Oh how wrong I was! I tried everything but have only succeeded in removing the outer layer of the texture, leaving the phone looking scratched and old. Apart from this, I suppose the phone is quite cute looking when it is closed and pre-stain. DURABILITY: As seen with the stain, the texture is not very durable. Aside from that, I found this phone was durable although some of my ...

Review of Motorola U6 PEBL, mobile phone

I have had this phone almost 2 years now and I think I paid about £200 for it at the time. It might no longer be the latest technology, but it still works fine and I particularly like the design of the phone as it's very easy to open and close the flip using one hand, such as when I'm carrying a bag or case with the other hand, but it took a while to master the knack of using the flip originally! The good thing about this phone is that it still ...
...phones go after a while. I only really use the phone for making & receiving voice calls, but I have sent the odd text, and used the built in camera. The camera is very low resolution by today's standards though. I like the way there is a small exterior display so that you can easily check the time and see who is calling when it rings. The battery life is reasonable but I tend to charge it when I'm in the house so that it's always topped up as ...

Review of Motorola U6 PEBL, mobile phone

Again I buy a Motorola phone. Over the years I think I must have owned 5 of their clamshell models now. On opening the box, you realise why you got it - it looks great. This time, it also feels grat. The casing has a definate tactile feel, and not cold or metallic. We went for the blue, as it was a bit less garish. If you have used a V3 RAZR before, you will be familiar with the workings. Once you flip the lis, it was fairly obvious that this is ...
...phone. It still has all the previous features, which will be slightly dated compared to new phones. In terms of what I use, most of the functions are still superfluous. There is a camera which is perfectly adequate for snapping drunk friends. The screen is nice, and the buttons tactile. However, go to your local opticians and get some of their glasses cloths, as both screen and keypad get coated with ifngerprints. This is a perfectly durable little ...

Review of Motorola U6 PEBL, mobile phone

I recently purchased this mobile phone and it was a great buy. It was relatively cheap and has a great look to it. The phone has a nice smooth finish to it and the colour makes it looks extremely stylish. I have made use of the built in mp3 player - however, I have out 4 songs onto it and the memory is full already. The camera is of a good quality and also looks great when transerred to a computer. There is no flash on the camera. The programme ...
...the computer - transferring photos and music and also allowing you to type text messages from the computer/laptop. The phone is extremely easy to use. The flip is a clever idea - having to slide it down in order to flip it up - very cool! The battery life on this phone is very good - lasting on average a week from full charge. Overall I would say this is a great phone and definetly worth the cheap price. ...

Review of Motorola U6 PEBL, mobile phone

Understated, lovely rubberized texture meaning it won't fall off your dashboard while you're driving. As I am a courier, the active flip is handy when I have a parcel and clipboard in the other hand (that's pretty cool and the selling point for me). Good screen, decent camera and video, Bluetooth enabled which is FAB. Keypad decent enough as buttons are wider than my last phone the V300 which was awkward. Al round, a decent little phone which is just the right weight and size for mittens like mine! Pity they're not making them anymore! ...

Review of Motorola U6 PEBL, mobile phone

My last phone was a Motorola e770v, which is basically a cut-price v3x in a fat suit. At £80 it seemed like a bargain, and it was, but it was packed so full of unnecessary features, you could never find anything. And it was too big, too ugly and too heavy, and that's before all the stuff I actually needed (contact list, camera) started to go wrong. This, the PEBL, was much simpler. It has everything you could ever want; it's small and light, it ...
...easy to use, it has a nice camera which can take videos, it has excellent battery life, bluetooth, couple of games, lots of nice ringtones, even internet, but nothing else - nothing you don't need. It's also bright orange, looks fabulous, has a really cool way of opening, and an equally cool touchpad. Those, to be honest are the real reasons why I bought it, and I have hever once regretted it. Seven months on, it still looks better than anything, ...
