Anyone with the SLVR?

Aje, my first Razr was a silver one, i thought the silver version was great, until they released the black one of course... the advantage with the silver version is that you can't really see fingerprints on it as much as the black version, and it should be cheaper now as well.

 

I think he meant the Sliver (Slvr) not the silver razor. But I do agree with Tony regarding the silver razor. The silver does not show the finger prints and seems to stay "cleaner" than my black one does.

 

Time to get my eyes checked again...:O

Aje, i'm thinking of going with the SLVR L7 as well, let me know if you get it...

 

I did switch to Cingular to get this phone and I have to say it is the best phone I've ever had.

 

A friend of mine has been using the SLVR for months now and loves it. He hated candy bar phones but this phone was so solid a performer it won him over. I played around with it last year and was impressed.

 

got any spares?....

 

The local cell phone shop where i buy phones from gave me a price of $265 for the SLVR, i think that's pretty good considering it's w/o a contract.

 

I've got the L6 SLVR, and it's not bad at all. Good RF, feels good in hand, but the only issue is the screen, which is 128x160, not 176x220. Provided I traded a V600 for the L6, I think it's not a bad phone.

Was it a corporate Cingular store or a reseller?

I ask this because my Cingular store, corporate, is selling the SLVR, no contract, $299. I checked other Cingular corporate stores and 611 also and that is the correct retail price.

 

11229. Did you call 611 and ask them directly what the retail price of the phone is?

 

forgot. Checking ebay the phone unlocked/unbranded is averaging $260 brand new.

 

anyone know if moto is planing on releasing a CDMA version of the slvr like they eventually did with the razor?

 

If it's an unbranded unlocked version it's most likely that you would need to configure your settings with this:

Good lord, $265! Why don't you have one of these yet, Tony E? You could sell both your RAZRs and come up with $265. I would almost consider the SLVR for $265.

 

On the Cingular Premier website, the SLVR is $199 with 2 year contract.

So that's good without it!

 

The owner is actually an e-bay seller but he'll let me pick up any phone i purchase from his warehouse.

 

Aje, it's unbranded and unlocked...not sure what price he would give you.

 

Well, I think I am caving in :drool:

Talked to Cingular CS today and they are letting me take an early upgrade (a year early), so I can get the SLVR for $199.

I thought that was the hard part. Turns out that mostly all corporate stores in a 50 mile radius of Gotham are sold out. I found a store in Massapequa which is around 40 miles away from me, has them in stock, so I think I'll pick one up tomorrow.

I know it is going to be locked but that's not a problem, Cingular has always sent me the unlock codes for any phones I purchased from them.

When I first saw it I knew I would be tempted. I was right

 

By the way you are talking about this phone, I might have to consider it even though I have grown fond of the Clamshell vs Candybar.

 

:devil:

Well, picked mine up today. Nobody had it in stock until this afternoon.

(In a Jerry Lewis voice): I like it, I like it, I like it

Another surprise. I paid $179 for it. I was told if I took the $9.99 media.net package they would give me an in-store $20 discount on the phone. So I took the package and I just got off the phone cancelling it (my bad) :devil:

Any questions about the phone just ask me, I'll try an answer.

More to com . . . . . .

 

I love mine. I get my email on it plus it syncs with ical on my laptop via Bluetooth so I keep my calendar and address book updated and don't need to carry my Palm. Then there is itunes! With this phone you can combine 4 devices (Blackberry for email, Palm for PIM, itunes, cell phone) into one thin, slender device that slips into your shirt pocket. Did I mention it gets 6 1/2 hours talk time? The battery rocks on this phone!

 

Agrees with you even though I just have it 2 days.

Loading iTunes playlist now.

I had no problems either using it with all the Moto tools I already have like MPT, all the P2K's, connects to PST, Motokit and all the OBEX options via BT Dongle.

So far I just had one problem. I had a bunch of Java games that I had on my 551/V3. I installed them via BT>OBEX Push, just needed the jar files to do so. When I tried to put some of them on the L7 the download went okay but the minute the d/l was over it wouldn't install it and gave me a "bad file" error even though the games worked on the 551 and V3.

Do the games have to be designed for the L7? Is that why they won't install?
I thought that because the L7 is 176x220 also there wouldn't be a problem.

Any ideas?
