Motorola PEBL Review
The PEBL comes with a photo phonebook & picture caller ID features which allows the user to select a photo or image & assign it to any contact in their phonebook. When a contact makes an incoming call, the PEBL will display the photo or image that the user has assigned to them. The user can have so much fun when assigning the photo especially if they put a monkey photo assigned to their boss.
The user can capture all of those special moments with the MPEG4 digital video recording feature & the high quality zoom really adds to the perfect recording. To operate the video recorder the user needs to press the capture key once to start & then press it once more to stop recording. Video recording could not be any easier & the quality is amasing with the Motorola PEBL.



The internal colour screen allows the user to see their photos & video recording in perfectly clear colour. The external screen indicates the time with a very sleek & stylish looking clock face.
The built-in Bluetooth® functionality makes it possible for the user to talk on a wireless headset & to connect up with their PC as long as it has a Mac OS version 10.3.6 or later, Windows 2000 or Windows XP as a platform.

I love this phone I have had it for 3 years & nothing is wrong with it accept it freezes sometimes, it still works cool LOL.
Reviewer: Rob - UK
Date: 2nd Sep 2008
I've had this phone for a long time now & I have to say, it has been one of the best phones I have had, although it does have its flaws. The design is great, it's small & smooth & fits easily in your pocket. It's easy to use & the Bluetooth works wonders with my Mac & my car. It has been dropped more times than I can remember & I even fell in the sea with it in my pocket (don't ask!) & it still works! Yes the camera is a bit rubbish & there is no flash though I don't really use the camera that much anyway. The memory isn't great but again I have only got a few pictures on mine & a couple of downloaded ringtones & wallpapers & it does me fine. So far the magnets have worked perfectly, though I've heard that they eventually go a bit weak but in the end everything dies. With what I use/need a mobile for & the amount of pain I've put it through, this phone has been great & I have never really had a problem with Motorola (this being my third Motorola phone) & I think this phones replacement will be one too!
Reviewer: Izzi - UK
Date: 16th Apr 2008
I love my phone! I've had it for a year & a half, & even though I've dropped it loads of times, its only got a few scratches on it. All my friends are addicted to opening the flap, but a few months ago it started making noises when I opened it from the magnets getting scratched, I think.
The only thing I don't like about my phone is that it doesn't have very much memory, including deleting a few themes it has 6394kb, enough to hold 2 songs or ringtones & about 20 pictures. You can't have a memory card in it either.
Also the camera isn't that good, especially in the dark, but you don't need a good camera really.
I don't know whether it's just my phone, but I can't get onto the web browser which I only found out when I had to get onto it to download a game I bought. Still haven't got the game unfortunately.
Overall, a really good phone & worth it!

I have had my phone for well over a year now & I find it is one of the best phones I have had. I am starting to think it's time to change it, but I can't find a phone that has met up to this one.
Reviewer: Kev - UK

I have had this phone off a friend cheap & was delighted with its appearance. But after two days the keypad is putting in digits by itself uncontrollably, the menus don't work & it freezes all the time. The volume control has its own mind & the control of it is terrible. Don't buy this phone, get a piece of string & two tin cans before choosing this. The keypad is ambiguous & the digits are hard to understand makes dialling a very, very long chore if you don't give up trying. Biggest load of rubbish I have ever had, it is useless piece of junk!
Reviewer: Dizzyvix - Wolves, UK
Date: 22nd Jan 2008
I have had this particular model for about over a year & a half now, it is has a lovely design & the push to flip open feature is really nice. There are of course some flaws with it, the main one is even though the battery appears full it may be near empty & just switch off entirely unto you charge it up again. It could do with a larger memory space & it would be nice to have a flash option when taking pictures.
However I do like being able to add my own music for the ring tone & text message alert, as an alarm in the morning I would recommend the siren to it max volume that would wake anything up. Being able to assign picture to people in my contact book is a fun feature & the download java games are really fun, I shall miss playing monopoly.
But because of the battery constantly even more now I am forced to upgrade to the Samsung G600 by tomorrow.
To sum up this phone has a really great sleek design, the features are not bad at all but for practicality or as a functional tool. Well I have seen more reliable models & I would strongly recommend carrying the phone's plug in charger where ever you go if you are really considering buying this model.
Reviewer: Florrie - UK
Date: 22nd Jan 2008
It's a great phone, its been going for about a year now & I have dropped it about 500 times & it keeps on working, but the camera is rubbish. I can't store that many videos or music, buy this phone if you don't care about good stuff.
Reviewer: Rachel - UK
Date: 19th Jan 2008
This phone is easy to use, has a good battery life, & looks great! Also I love how the phone opens. The thing I hate most about this phone is, how it does not have a flash & has a really bad memory, you can only store one song if you want pictures on it too.
Also the magnets can wear so the phone does not shut although I have had mine for a year, & it hasn't happened, it has to many of my friends but I have to admit Mine is starting to wear.
So if you are not planning on storing many songs, videos & pictures this phone is great! But if not then it might not be the best one to buy.
Reviewer: TR - UK
Date: 4th Jan 2008
I've now had this phone for over a year & whilst the design is great & it slips into a pocket easily, I would not by another.
I don't like the predictive text so have switched that off. The speaker phone is not good; I can hear my caller but the callers have difficulty hearing me! It would be good if it came with a headset for in-car travel.
Battery doesn't last long. If I don't answer the call quickly it either goes to voicemail (if I've got it on) or just stops ringing.
Really frustrating.
Reviewer: JK - UK
Date: 27th Nov 2007
An excellent little phone, this has not let me down once in the past year & done everything I required of it. I would recommend this.
Reviewer: George - UK
Date: 12th Nov 2007
What a disappointment. I have had this phone for about a year now & I am fed up. There is no memory, there isn't a good camera, there isn't enough message storage space & it is easily scratched, the list is endless.
The phone is held shut by 2 magnets, these lose their magnetisation after around 6 months & are 30 pounds to replace.
There is no memory card slot, its heavy, you can only store one song, one 20 second video & 10 pictures but no games messages or contacts!
The design is good but the magnets weren't! The battery won't keep its charge. It cuts out, it's flimsy, the buttons are all over the place, it's hard to text because of this & there is NO light for pictures! It's just awful!
See it goes on & on & on! So buy one if you like but I wouldn't!
Reviewer: Anon - UK

I Love this phone! It's a great model, & very comfy to hold! It has a camera & video player which is great! LOL! The KEYPAD IS SMOOTH & I LOVE THIS PHONE! X.
Reviewer: Liv - UK
Date: 3rd Nov 2007
I have had this phone for about 11 month, & I cannot wait 4 weeks until I get the Samsung J600. Though this phone looks super stylish (I got it in pink) but it is average on the inside. For a start it has a VGA camera, that's just another word for rubbish. VGA is a 0.3MP & you have to keep your phone REALLY still for 3 to 4 seconds or the picture goes blurry. The video recording is even worse than the camera, only lasts 30 seconds, & the voice recording, I don't want to even go there. It has hardly any memory, it can hold ONE song! & about 10 pictures! There is loads more bad points! The good point is that this is a really trendy looking phone, & it is great for people who like trendy things.
Reviewer: Observant - London, UK
Date: 2nd Nov 2007
All those who whinge, huff & puff about the MP3 player on this phone (or any other model for that matter), I must point out one vitally important detail. This is a PHONE! If you want an MP3 player. Buy one! A friend recently got a pebble & it looks good. She is happy. I don't like the keyboard though.
Reviewer: Anon - London, UK

This is my second pebble I have had this year the first one went after five months of me having it, the screen went & it would turn on & off even though fully charged. I sent it back then got another pebble to my foolishness now this one has gone wrong, the camera & video camera won't work I haven't dropped it or anything it has been looked after. I give up with this phone.
Reviewer: Elanour - Edinburgh, UK

Well I have had this phone for a year now. It looks good but don't judge a book by its cover. I don't like this phone. It is rubbish & doesn't have a MP3 player, no memory & is rubbish. I hate it wish I never bought it. Very disappointed.

Really Great mobile phone with design.
Reviewer: Ella Snell - Guernsey, UK
Date: 10th Sep 2007
My Motorola PEBL phone is small & easy to use. All of the buttons & the screen itself, are protected because it is a flip screen phone. The cover is scratch-proof & is small & easy to fit in a pocket or purse. Overall, the features on my phone are good but it does have a very short memory time. The dimensions of my phone are 86mm x 49mm x 20mm.

Reviewer: Scott - Inverurie, UK
Date: 12th Jul 2007
I have had my PEBL for about half a year now & I am getting bored of it. I think it is a really flimsy phone. All my friends are saying like I have got this new ringtone & I say can I get it & they say yes but when they try I don't have enough kb so they say sorry & walk off. The next day everybody has that ringtone it is annoying. I am not saying it is a bad phone but apart from that nothing is wrong with it. It doesn't have a memory card slot to top up your memory even though it's memory is poor. So if you would like to get one make sure your OK with not having good music!
Reviewer: Jen Dore - Clacton, UK

Loved PEBL at first, but after about 9 months started to shut itself down halfway thru texting; not very useful! Also marks very easily, which is a pity as a lovely looking phone. Seem to spend lots of time polishing it! Shall be looking for something else soon I am afraid.
Reviewer: Pauline - Berkshire, UK
Date: 3rd Jul 2007
I loved this phone for all of 6 months, its shape, the feel of the material. But yesterday, it was turning itself off when the clam was closed & now today it won't turn on at all, despite having a full charge yesterday & taking the battery out & putting it back in. Ridiculous. I see I am not the only one to have this fault. Surely time for a recall? Gone back for repair today, we'll see what happens.
Reviewer: Patrick - Limerick, Ireland
Date: 3rd Jul 2007
I've had my Motorola PEBL for a year now & I just love it. Its great to look at & great to feel. & I love the 'flipping' thing ( hee hee) ! If you're a little stressed it makes a great little worry stone. I don't understand why people complain about lack of memory, MP3 etc. Check out these things before you buy it! Anyway, I am kinda glad there are a lot of complaints about the PEBL, as I have yet to meet someone who owns one. Which makes my little phone unique & the centre of attention. PEBL rocks. Excuse the pun!
Reviewer: Kate - Preston, UK

I have had this phone for a year & I have sent it back once because it kept turning itself off & not turning back on then when I got it back it was alright for a couple of months & then I went on holiday & it just wouldn't turn on. When it did I didn't need it & now it won't work so I am getting a new phone. Please do not get this phone.

Reviewer: KC - Hong Kong

This is a great phone for the people that only want a phone. A very stylish phone, this will please most kids & teens. However, the camera & the MP3 ringtone thing are only little extras. Don't expect too much from it as only 5MB is available to you. This a great phone for an ordinary user!

The WORST PHONE I HAVE EVER HAD the MISFORTUNE OF OWNING.

STAY AWAY!

Reviewer: Victoria - Manchester, UK
Date: 4th Apr 2007
Fell in love with this phone & after a year I do think that the design is pretty much flawless (though it is sometimes hard to keep the keypad & screen clean). However, it's useless. The camera is awful as are the videos & it freezes up easily & sometimes it chooses to turn itself off when your half way through a message. The phone is a diva, very pretty but a pain in the bits.
Reviewer: I Love PEBL - UK
Date: 2nd Apr 2007
Don't be mean about the PEBL! I have had this phone for a year & it has been absolutely great! When I showed my mates they all loved it & 2 of them went to buy their own! HUMPH SHOWS YOU! I highly recommend this phone to everybody. It has a fine camera & its charging is sooo good. It charges really quickly & is the best I ever had. I mean yeah it does have not much memory but who needs to keep 89 messages on it anyway!? I have only got 6 so that means I can have about 50 photos & 10 3 minutes long videos. Some people need to get a life!
Reviewer: Gwawr - Carmarthen, UK
Date: 29th Mar 2007
I only put 5% in the features box as there was no lower.
This phone is the worst I have ever had, that's saying a lot as my first ever was a Phillips savvy! What a brick, anyhow. I loved the look of this phone, I fell in love with it & I had it with my contract. Yet, it has completely no memory at all, the camera is poor & generally all the features are awful, it was meant to be an upgrade of the Motorola v635, but even that had a memory card in it. There is no slot in the PEBL for added memory, & after about 89 messages, 5 photos & a 20 second video squeezed into it, it was jam packed. If you're after a stylish flip phone to do just that, phone, then it's perfect. But if you want a little extra in you're phone, go for something with more memory, a sharper camera, & better features.
I now own a Nokia 6233. & it's perfect.

Reviewer: Emerald - Hong Kong
Date: 1st Mar 2007
It has a cool outlook & average functioning but apart from that. HIGHLY NOT RECOMMENDED. First of all, it had a charging problem in the first month. I got that fixed, then the next month the voice thing broke: & I can only hear people by putting it on speakers (generally a Motorola problem, a number of my friends that use Motorola's have had the same problem). I got it fixed but I just gave up using it & start using my old Nokia phone. Motorola advertises this phone as nice in design with cool technology. But really, the cameras not great either. So I only use the text messaging (which is not as convenient as Nokias) & calling.

Date: 13th Jan 2007
Fell in love with the design of this phone & purchased it in Mar. 2006. On average I get a new phone once a year or so, but by Sept. I was already itching to get a new phone. Other than the looks & the slide/open feature of this phone, there really aren't many other redeeming qualities. It was constantly fingerprinted (& no, I am not some grubby Canadian redneck. LOL) & if the phone sustained a MINOR fall it would relegate itself to turning off & on by itself for the next 24 hours. I was also displeased with Moto's interface & menu system. Boring & not very intuitive at all. It's now Jan 2007 & I've had my Sony Ericsson w810i for a couple of weeks & so far. LOVE it! Better menus, interface & functions &. It's just a. Fun phone.

The PEBL is a PHONE! So if it doesn't play music you should had bought an ipod! It looks soooo nice I would pay up to 1000 dollars for this phone if I had the money! (It doesn't cost 1000 dollars by the way) I love that phone!

I think the PEBL is great, for certain people. If you want a phone the does what a camera, computer, & MP3 player does, don't get this phone, if you want a phone to talk to people, this is a great buy! :)
Reviewer: Homeboy - Yarmouth, UK
Date: 3rd Jan 2007
Just bought new rusty red PEBL phone, lovely phone, the software disk you get with the phone gives you the option of cropping pieces of your favorite track from CD/MP3 etc to use as ringtones. Let's face it, it only takes 2 minutes to swap over a song from computer to phone so you don't get bored with your ringtone. I also like the fact you can use your own mp3s as message tones too, unlike most Samsungs. The picture quality is so clear & I was surprised how clear the pictures were in dark as well after switching it to night mode. The design is nice, especially the shiny keypad, although I am always polishing my fingerprints off it. I bought it on Orange network which was a bit rubbish cos they restrict most of the phones capabilities (time to get it unlocked LOL) Overall, I like it & it will be with me for a while. Especially cos my missus bought me it so I have no choice really.

This is a great phone. It has a fantastic screen & excellent crystal clear picture quality when displaying screensaver, photos & wallpapers. Doesn't have a lot of memory, but not really a problem for me. It is so easy to use. Voice activation is fun too. Great shape, smooth & feels really good to hold. Only problem is not knowing what cool colour to choose from. I Love the PEBL.

I am thinking of getting this phone for Christmas. I really like the design but I am concerned that there are so many mixed or negative reviews. I will probably want to store lots of photos or videos & I need some useful advice because I don't know whether to buy it or not. I need to know is the look of it & feel of it overtaking the frustration of not having much memory? It's really difficult to decide when there are so many massively contradictory opinions. Help!

Reviewer: Gaffa - Guildford, UK

I wanted a phone that made phone calls & came in a simple & tactile design. This phone is what I was after & does all that I need from a phone.
- The finish is grippy & well thought out.
- The key pad is great for my manly fat fingers.
- It has a great screen & the flip mech is nice.
- The speaker has a good range & the whole thing feels nice in your hand.
- You could almost skim it across a pond just like a pebble it feels that good.
- If I wanted to take great pictures I would use my Olympus.
- If I wanted music I would use my Sony MP3 player.
- This phone is excellent.
- Sure it ain't a posers phone.
- Sure it wont store loads of videos & pictures.
- Sure it is no playstation or xbox.
But be assured it is a telephone for making telephone calls. And it does it as you would expect it to. This phone is definitely worth buying.
I rest my case.

This phone is great! It looks absolutely amazing & who cares if it doesn't have as much memory as others! It's a phone & it doesn't pretend to be otherwise like so many do at the moment! I love it!

I've always had a Motorola phone (star tac, v60, v70, v400, v1050, v3, pebble)... My point is no MOTOROLA phone are under 100% in anything they do, they are just the best, & you can't go wrong. The new pebble is great.

I love my pebl! Fits & feels nice in hand. Fits in outside pocket of purses or a belt clip. Easy to use features...if I can use it, you can use it. I won't be changing my cell phone again any time soon.

The phone looks great, very stylish. The phone has major problems with usability though. The speaker & the microphone on the handset do not work properly. It has a saving grace having an external speaker though. For a phone that you can't make calls on properly is not a very good thing.

This is a nice phone i think moto, did a good job with the design but mine keeps freezin up the screen is fallin off & the speaker doesn't work most of the time the one thing i like most about the phone is the mp3 player function it only holds a couple songs but still works i also like how it's bluetooth enabled.

I think it is the best looking phone on the market, but there is hardly any memory for it. Is there anywhere to put external memory?

I'm not going to moan like some do about petty things about phones they should make one... well done moto, youve made a classic, it looks pukka, sounds pukka... one word really well done.

The PEBL will not suit all people but for me I knew as soon as I saw it that I had to have it, forget the features. I love the look of it, I adore the stone like appearance, stone fetish I guess, really earthy look to it. Anyway I will have one as soon as I can.... Will come back & let you know what I think it a month or so.

Natural is all I can say about this phone, natural appearance & pointless... move on Motorola. The V3 is great, this is an embarrassment.

No MP3 player, No FM radio, looks great but has no features that we all come to expect on our new mobiles.
Reviewer: Amber - UK

This phone has been built all around its eye catching appearance, yes I agree it has got an appeal to it that's what made me look at the reviews & that is what made me want one. Big but, when you look at it closer it has a lack of features & heaps of appeal. It has no MP3 player which seems very strange for such a new model phone. A little disappointing but I think it will be very popular as it has got something very unique about it, the pebble like design. It will be a big seller.

Camera is perfect quality & the screen inside produces a beautifully clear picture. This is the first time I have used a camera phone & I really like it. I need my daughter to help me out sometimes but I will get to grips with it, it cant be as hard as being a parent. The phone comes with an instruction book, the kids don't, ha ha ha.

The PEBL has a fantastic screen & it gives a really crystal clear picture quality when displaying screensaver, photos & wallpapers. Love the PEBL & enjoying it. Would like a bit more memory, but not really a problem. It is lovely to use & it is better than I could of dreamed it would be.... i love my new phone. V Entertaining.

Fun look, fun phone, fun user. Love the keys they are flat & smooth, love Moto. Love the camera, love the messaging, love the shape, love the opening. Happy to have this phone.

The Motorola Pebl seriously needs some more memory. This is a common problem with all the Motorola phones I have used, maybe I am just choosing the wrong models or wanting to save too much information. Motorola want to look at the other top selling mobile phone manufactures as they seem to have more memory or an expandable memory slot on most of their newer model phones. I have always got three mobiles with me at any one time & would say I can give a fair judgment of mobile phones. I personally feel that Motorola has a real issue when it comes to memory or lack of it.

Great phone. Really different from the rest. My sister & I really like the look of the PEBL. We Like the V220 pink & the V220 as well.
