The plot thins: The SLVR L7 is less than half an inch thick (black version shown).

Design
At less than a half-inch thick, the SLVR L7 redefines the ultra-thin phone category. A large 176 x 220 color display with 262,000 colors resides above the handset’s backlit control pad, which is precision cut from a single sheet of nickel-plated copper alloy. The VGA camera lens is housed on the rear of the phone, while up/down buttons are placed on the left side. There’s also a highly accessible mini-USB port on the right side of the phone for data synchronization and music transfer, as well as a covered slot for inserting a MicroSD or TransFlash memory card.

Calling Features
The SLVR L7’s internal phone book can hold up to 1,000 contacts, and the phone’s picture ID system allows you to assign pictures to your most common callers. It also supports polyphonic ringtones as well as music ringers, allowing you to use portions of your favorite songs to alert you to incoming calls. A number of ringtones come preloaded on the phone, and for times when you want to be discreet, there’s a vibrating alert. A built-in speakerphone makes it easy to talk without having the phone to your ear, and voice-activated dialing makes calling your friends, family, and associates as easy as saying their names. Because the SLVR L7 is Bluetooth enabled, wireless communication headsets can be configured with the phone for total hands-free operation.

Messaging, Internet, and Tools
The SLVR L7 is a messaging and wireless Internet powerhouse. Support is built in for sending and receiving pictures, text, graphics, sound, and video via messages. When used in combination with the phone’s built-in still and video camera, MMS opens up a whole new world of messaging fun. Instant messaging is supported via AOL Instant Messenger, Yahoo Messenger, and ICQ, and the phone also ships with a built-in e-mail client with support for POP3 and SMTP protocols (your provider’s messaging charges apply). Plus, there’s a built-in Web browser for mobile Web browsing. When used with a service provider’s data plan and the phone’s Bluetooth or USB data capability, the phone can be used as a wireless modem for laptops and PDAs. iTap text entry, which is a technology that makes it easier to enter words and text on handsets, is built in to the unit–a plus for mobile e-mail and text messaging users.

The SLVR L7 seamlessly connects to iTunes software on your PC or Mac. iTunes software on the phone gives you complete control of your music.

A number of handy software tools are bundled with the SLVR L7, including a voice memo recorder, a calculator, a calendar, and an alarm clock. Use the phone’s Bluetooth capability to set up a wireless link with a Bluetooth accessory or to connect to a computer or handheld device to exchange and synchronize data. The phone also supports the SyncML PC synchronization standard, which can be used with Motorola’s Mobile Phone Tools PC application to manage and synchronize contacts, calendar, and other data with your PC.

Imaging and Entertainment
With 5 MB of internal memory storage, plus a memory expansion slot, the SLVR L7 shines in the entertainment department. The phone’s VGA camera features a 4x digital zoom, as well as video capture capabilities (up to 30 seconds in length). Capture stills and then send them to your friends via MMS messaging or e-mail, or to your PC via USB or Bluetooth. The phone is capable of MPEG4 video playback when you receive a video message or if you upload video to the phone via USB or Bluetooth. The SLVR L7 also supports custom graphics for wallpapers, so you can dress up the phone to suit your mood.

At its heart, the SLVR L7 is a music phone, and thanks to integration with iTunes, it makes a great digital music player. Using the included software, sync the SLVR L7 with your iTunes library on your PC or Mac and listen to up to 100 of your favorite songs while you’re on the go. iTunes software on the phone lets you shuffle your music library or select songs by artist, album, or playlist. Built-in stereo speakers let you listen while you work or play, and a stereo headset jack makes it easy to jam out in private with the included earbuds.
