What’s new with the Motorola L6?

Category: Review on Motorola L6 Mobile Phone

Strengths: Excellent battery life, bright and large screen with four-band compatibility

Weaknesses: Not much on entertainment value and average web browsing features

The L6 from Motorola is very slim and stylized to look elegant and without compromising on any feature factor. However, if you are looking for an ‘entertainment oriented’ phone, then the L6 might not suit your requirement as it is not iTunes compatible and the camera is not the top of the line. Apart from these two drawbacks (not really drawbacks, if you don’t care much about these features), the L6 manages to ‘wow’ users with its fluid voice quality and amazing Bluetooth functionality.

One of the features which influence the popularity of L6 with users is it’s ability to perform well specially as it has a really long battery life and the screen does not wash out in sunlight. The L6 also has email and web browsing capabilities but this is not available with all service providers and you might need to shop around a bit before deciding. The web browser can be a bit slow ( ok…not a bit, very slow) when downloading regular sites and works well only with WAP enabled pages.

The simple keypad and nice styling is what keeps the phone alive in the market as that is what many people look for when shopping for a mobile phone. The L6 also does not disappoint with the screen size which tends to display up to six lines of text and can be considered to be a fairly large screen.

The verdict is pretty simple when it comes to the L6…go ahead and buy this if you are looking for a regular phone with a very reasonable price tag. Sure it does have smart phone features but they might come with some limitation which might not result in a very high level of performance.
