Reviewer: David - Newcastle, UK

I get bored of (or break) phones all the time so I've been through a dozen or so in the last couple of years. Others I've sold, but the L2 I'll always keep.

It not as basic as the price would suggest. At this price (I paid £20) you get a Bluetooth enabled phone that can be unlocked to quad band in a couple of clicks, is very light & slim, & looks way better than a cheap handset.

I keep it as my spare phone for using with a US sim card when I travel, & it's great, never let me down. Excellent battery life & excellent signal. I can't fault it at this price.

I have had the L2 for over 2 years & it has been trouble free. The voice clarity & battery life is excellent. It has no phone but I consider that a plus!

I love the features of this phone. Display is clear & easy to read. I wish it were easier to lock the keypad, since it is a bar phone. Otherwise I think it is GREAT!

Mega phone, looks sweet. Wanted the SLVR L7 but was a bit expensive when it was first released. L2 looks like the phone for me.

Fabulous looking phone but surprised it has no camera or music features. I bet the price reflects that this phone is a lower end of the market phone. Moto are on the ball with the L2 & L6 phones, they are fabulous looking pretty basic phones.
