Motorola L6: good or bad?

HQvhs

Hello,

I am going to purchase the Motorola L6 mobile phone from The Carephone Warehouse on Meteor Pay As You Go.

Before I go and spend €120 on a phone, can you please tell me if it is good. My friend has the Motorola E1 ROKR handset, and would fully recommend it and the brand itself.

Can you please give me more information on the L6 so I can buy it with a smile


Thanks!

It's not a bad phone, though some people find the user interface hard to use, compared to the likes of Nokia and Sony Ericsson.

I'd get it from o2 instead, though. They're selling it online for a lot less than €120, and you get the enhanced version, which is basically the same as the regular L6, but also has i-mode and i-mail (read: push email) functionality built in. Might be worth switching to O2 for.

well..
here's my opinion..

User interface is something you can get used to.. humans adapt..
The phone is slick, small and light..
Function ain't the best consider modern range of phones..
But that's the sacrifice you have to make in order to get it thin..
Reasonably priced..
Cool blue led keypad..
Battery last for about 3 days..


One thing that concerns me is that on an article from cnet.com, it says that the L6 is the phone with the highest radiation emission..
Which is a serious concern.. Unless you don't really care about that..
Then it's green light to get it..

Oh ya I use a L6 :rolleyes:
The article wasn't publish yet when I bought mine..
Everyone gotta die sometime right?

That just means the phone works better.

Seriously though, the emission thing means little to nothing, according to Sony Ericsson, due to the way it is measured. Real world it will be a lot lower than the maximum test as well, not to mention all these levels are well, well below any safety limits. You won't die just yet.

I know I won't die just yet..
But chances are just that bit higher.. hahaha

had one of these, grand little thing, jsut dont drop it, they tend to refuse to work for a few mins after hand, thouhg you shouldnt drop your phone at all ata ll.

sometimes motorolas need software upgrades early in their life but that's covered by warranty and doesnt take long

Its only €89 for a new Speakeasy customer with o2.

Does anyone find that their L6 sometimes has reception problem..
I.e. inteference during call..
Maybe it's just mine..
