Wacky — 31 January 2006

Motorola and Cingular released the SLVR 7 today. If you remember, we featured a review of the SLVR sans iTunes from Mobile Review back in October. This time PC Magazine has taken a quick look at the designer phone, and boy am I already disappointed. The SLVR is touted as the alternative to the RAZR because it sports similar design cues, but in a candy bar shape. Unfortunately, Motorola followed too closely behind its other iTunes embedded product, the ROKR, and has included the same lame 100 song constraint. The camera is also stock with VGA capture at best, and I/O is USB 1.1 matched with slow ass GPRS. Currently the phone goes for $200 with a 2 year contract. As usual expect that price to drop in the next few months. We’ll follow up with PCMag’s expected review next week.

Grew up back East, got sick of the cold and headed West. Since I was small I have been pushing buttons - both electronic and human. With an insatiable need for tech I thought "why not start a blog focusing on technology, and use my dislikes and likes to post on gadgets."

    I’m not disappointed at all in my new SLVR 7. It has very good reception and strong signal and is quite responsive. The software is easy to use and everything is easy to set up. I didn’t expect it to be a PDA, and didn’t expect ultra fast online connection or for the keyboard to perform like a qwerty. I decided not to depend upon it for all my email when I’m away because I still carry a laptop. However, if you’re wanting something that does everything, get the Windows phones like the Cingular 2125 or a Blackberry.

    Phone is good but I my set is getting rebooted very frequently. Battery backup is very less. itunes is a good mp3 player but song capacity to 100 songs is a disappointment. Picture quality is okay.
