Does anyone have the Motorola L7 SLVR? Is it good - shall I get it to replace my broken Samsung?

What do you get in the box when you buy it..do you have to buy other things...does it connect to computer...can u put mp3s on it as ringtones?

thanks

i have the L6 and i find that it is easier to put on mp3's via bluetooth rather than using a data cable

I've had one for a couple of months and really like it - its hasn't got the best features (only a VGA camera) but its so thin and its brilliant for pockets (you can hardly see it)

My box came with no stuff at all just the phone and manuals, but the data cables and headphones are pretty cheap. If you want more than a couple of songs you'll need a MicroSD card but they will play MP3's as ringtones. plus its got bluetooth which although its slow means you dont even need a data cable

Hope this helps

Ugh, I'd advise anyone getting a SLVR to rethink!

I have one as a company phone and I'm already waiting for my third replacement handset, having never broken a phone in the past, even after 2 years of use!

They are so fragile it's unbelievable. The only plus point is that the company pay for the repairs, so I'm not out of pocket!

Also, they don't have very good features. I've got as my personal mobile a Nokia 6280 which, although being quite chunky, beats the SLVR hands down for features and usability. My SLVR didn't come with a USB cable, or any other accessories (although it may be because it was done through a corporate account) so I have to infra-red all MP3s from my Nokia to the SLVR if I want to store them on it.

Basically I'd give the SLVR a 1/10. Incidentally, my other colleagues who chose Motorolas (although different models) have all experienced phones falling apart, not working, switching themselves off etc.

I'm definitely never buying a Motorola with my own money!

It still beats the V3 with a 0.1/10 rating lol. Problem is all looks and no substance with Motorolas V3 and SLVR by the sounds of it.

I like the SLVR. It has all the features you need (plus Bluetooth, MP3s etc). I've had one for a while and it hasn't broken/crashed once.

The wife was thinking of going for the Motorola, but in the end she dicided to go for the Samsung D900 (in my opinion it's a lot better phone and the screen is so clear).

I've had the SLVR L7 red since it came out and its a tough little phone, i work outside and am forever dropping it or needing to use it in pouring rain and it's still going strong. The screen has not scratched either.
