Motorola SLVR L9 

The MOTO SLVR line features typical, nononsense, slim candy-bar phones with a reasonable amount of features. The SLVR L9 is the successor of the L7; in the looks department, the two are nearly identical. Despite it being entry-level, the fit and finish of the L9 are surprisingly good. The pearl-grey finish is as good as that on the more expensive RAZR 2. The back cover is finished in rubberised material, and therefore offers good grip. A 2-inch, 256 colour, 176 x 220 LCD is more than enough for this phone. The screen is sharp and bright, and stays perfectly legible outdoors. The navigational keys consists of a roundel and two soft menu keys. There are two additional buttons (for Cancel and launching FM). The keypad is well-spaced, with each key being separated from the other by small ridges; however, the tactile feedback isn’t as good as that on the new RAZR 2, despite the visual similarities. One of the prominent differences with respect to the older L7 is the fact that the memory slot is on the right. The L9 accepts microSD up to 2 GB (the phone has just 20 MB of internal memory). With many phones supporting up to 4 GB of additional memory, this is a bit of a disappointment. The user interface on the L9 hasn’t been upgraded to the newer MOTOMAGX—it uses the older, not-so-polished UI. Well, we should say it is easy to work with, but visuallyspeaking, Symbian’s revised Series 40 is more intuitive. Coming to multimedia, the SLVR L9 supports the MP3, AAC, AAC+ and MPEG4 formats. The media player is mediocre compared to that on the RAZR, and indeed, that of any music phone today. Audio quality is reasonably good. The 2-megapixel camera is pretty much similar to that on the RAZR 2. The camera performs admirably outdoors; in low-light conditions and indoor environments, photos turn out dark. It’s also capable of recording video in the MPEG4 format, but the quality is nothing to write home about. We had no problems as far as signal reception goes, but the speakerphone clarity could have been better. Battery life is strictly okay— we got around two days with nominal usage. At Rs 6,400 the L9 is reasonably-priced; however, we can’t see any compelling reason to recommend it to anyone.
