Motorola has plonked down two new cellphones in Taiwan today, although the usage of "new" is very much a stretch in this case. The L72 SLVR follows on from its L7 ancestor with the same 11.5mm "thinness," but brings HSDPA, a zoom and auto-focus free 2-megapixel camera, and some other standard features like an FM radio, a microSD card slot, and a silly buzzword technology called "CrystalTalk" which will apparently improve call quality. The Maxx V1110 (pictured) is an even more average update on the Vodafone exclusive V1110 minus 10 (aka, the V1100). As such, the lack of branding on the photos plus the identical specs -- HSDPA, 1.3-megapixel camera -- suggests that this is just a general release free of its operator exclusivity shackles. Not that anyone will be scrambling to pick up cellphone tech, vintage 2006.[Via Justamp]
This is a fantastic series of phones but its sooo long in the tooth now.
I don't understand how Motorola dropped the ball on the V3X (which was suppossed to allow for camera chat using a VGA camera pointed in the user's face)
If the RAZR line had that feature and a good network to feature it - it woulda been so cool.
What exactly is the point of a camera pointed in your face anyway if you don't have video chat?
i love RAZRs and what not but i must focus on the iPhone...gahhh!! So hard!
Haha, the guy forgot to take off the little blue label on the speaker. Silly silly!
Some people leave those on because they think it looks cool.
This phone looks like crap and has features overseas phones had 2 years ago. I don't know why Motorola keeps coming out with the retarded "razr, slvr" phones, but they're crap.
I was looking for a new phone on cingular.com(at&t) the other day. 90% of the phones I saw were different colored razrs, a krazr, and some other stupid motorola stuff that looks like crap and doesn't have any features phones 2 years ago didn't have.
Motorola sucks and their crappy phones should stop being produced. The only phones that they had that were ever good were the old ones cell phone carriers didn't pick up (V600,V635,V710)
Thank you for the review though.
i agree so thats why i stick to pocket pc's and real smartphones cuz i know that motorola would be there to mess everything up with their little rinky-dinky toddler phones. i mean it looks like my 1 and ahalf year old son can brake the razr and the krzr staked on top of eachother without even moving his fingers! thats how bad ALL motorolla phones are made.
NB: SLVR L72 is much the of same as the SLVR L9
