- No stop clock.
- No timer.
- No note pad.
- Can't zoom images.

- THEMES CAN'T BE INSTALLED. It's very boring to see same skins all the time.

- No file manager is there.
- Can't store & use other types of files.
- Even though it is a mega pixel camera clarity is average.

It has a very good body but the phone is low quality, it hang ups sometimes. The center button comes off & there is no warranty for that button. No theme, no timer, no stopwatch, poor receiver than Nokia. Softwares cannot be installed & so many usage flaws.

This is my first mobile. It has a pretty design. The outer look is eye catcher. But in inner the main features working good like radio, MP3, camera, video are excellent. But the keypad centre button coming out after 4 to 5 months. Then it looks too ugly & also the warranty will not applicable for these things & the spares are also not available for this l9. & we can't install any new software or games on to this slvr l9 model. This is a very good phone until the problem will detected. After you get some defect its equal to Recycle Bin.

But the clarity is unbelievable. Pretty Good.

This is a good phone but after reading your reviews regarding it I came to know that some of the people here are not aware of its technical specification as someone has mentioned that it cannot playback ACC audio files while as this can play these types of files this means that whatever they are not able to solve they simply called it as problem in the phone but that is not the case.

When we buy this handset do we get wireless headphone with it & how does the radio play through the headsets.

MotoSLVR L9 is a good phone but there is no chance for upgrade or getting good themes, games, wallpapers, softwares, etc, so, it's good but not so best.

Nice sleek phone, I have been using it for a while now. Good functions & features. Looks are excellent, somewhat like the BlackBerry Pearl. The only thing that I hate about Motorola is their call history, not much detailed & does not have more than the last call details from a number.

It is an excellent & very practical phone in a very reasonable price. I bought my L9 (Black) two days ago & I am very much satisfied with its performance & design. This is my second but first Motorola handset. Motorola is providing almost all the useful features in a very moderate price. I am very much pleased for that. Camera, FM & Sound quality is good. Net browsing is also nice. Screen 3 technology is also very helpful. As of now it for fills almost all my needs in a mobile handset.

I will definitely recommend this phone if somebody interested to buy.

Look fellas! People complain of the bad inbuilt MP3 player. Well in that case try installing a new one (midlet/corelet) like Itunes or something.

About equalizer. Edit the gain table through seems & trust me it will sound better.

I think L9 is the best for its range! Its TFT is one of the best.

I am a proud owner of L7 & L9 & one more thing, I have dropped my phone in Mumbai local trains, roads even my phone has nose-dived into my coffee mug (luckily, it was after I drank most of it). Still it had enough coffee to sink till the camera; still it has survived with no difference in performance.

Also I have never had a drop in network.

HI! EVERYONE OUT THERE, if you are looking for a mobile around Rs.7500 & have all the features, it's a good phone otherwise don't go for it.

Reviewer: Rockr - Tamilnadu, India

The plus points are.

- Design & solely design.
- the display is very good.

The negatives are.

- Very slow GPRS.
- Ooh the so called DIGITAL AUDIO PLAYER is very lame.
- Music quality via the headsets is poor!

Don't buy it you'll truly regret your decision. At the time of writing this the Sony Ericsson W810i costs a little over this phone, so go buy it is a superior phone compared to the MOTO SLVR L9i. This was my first Motorola & will be my last : (.

OLD Motorola L9 ARE BEING SOLD IN INDIA. It is a good handset with lot of feature with this price range. It has got some manufacturing defects also such as keypad etc. I have had one L9. I have purchased it on July 2007. It stopped functioning on Nov 2007. I was able to receive incoming calls but display, data cable through USB port etc. Where not working. I approached the Motorola service centre (franchisee) at Lajpat Nagar, Delhi. They replaced the keypad but returned me the L9 in a non functional state. They told me that the warranty is void as one of the water indicators became red (out of two) & it will cost you 80% of the total price if it is repaired from here! So I decided to get back the L9 in non functional state. Later on I got it repaired at a cost of Rs.300/ (3% of total cost approx) from a local store or expert.

Besides all these things I noticed one more major issue with L9. The set was assembled with old parts. One can easily conclude this when he looks at my opened up L9 set. So please think once more if anyone has a plan to purchase L9 at least in India. How Motorola can keep the terms in the warranty as it knows age of components of L9 being sold. Motorola easily can find ways to declare the warranty as void.

The L9 (known as the L72 here) is the first Motorola phone that I got & so far so good.

Pros
- Probably the best phone for its price.
- Good Battery Life.
- Supports Bluetooth stereo headsets.
- Automatically retries sending failed SMS messages (not sure if this applies to all Motorola phones).
- Calls are very clear.

Cons
- Poor radio reception.
- Audio Player is lame, doesn't even have an equalizer.
- Audio Player doesn't have a search function (if you have thousands of songs it is a necessity).
- Lag in some menus.
- Prone to fingerprints & smudges.
- Camera is rubbish indoors.

Overall it is still a very good phone.

Hi all. I am a big fan of Motorola phones. L9 is a good phone where it's a reasonable price & any one can purchase it. But one thing I want to ask is ' I want the details of the software that can be installed '.

Hay it can't play video files having bit rate more than 128. It can't take up themes. It's an ok kind of phone battery backup 2 days if you hook to 5 hours of music.

Really a Marvelous Mobile, which is Temptatively Sleek, Handy & Enviable., the Video Clarity with High Resolution cannot be seen in any other Brand Mobiles, other than MotoSLVR L9, the Audio Output is Simply Pleasant to Hear thru Head set & Speaker Phone, & its Crystal Clear. All the Other Features are More Attractive than Other Mobile Models, if any one decided to buy a Good Mobile, Try for Motorola L9. It's Simply the Best.

Best phone any one can get at this price, If you want to get a wireless Headphone (Bluetooth) you need to spend 3000 more. I took it only for the wireless headphone. It's amazing. Features are good, camera is cool.

On the flip side not as loud as Sony Ericsson. No feature of listening FM radio through wireless headphone & not visible clearly in direct sunlight.

CAN ANYONE TELL ME HOW MANY PHONE ENTRIES CAN BE SAVED IN THIS PHONE? CAN I KEEP COPY OF MY PHONE BOOK & SMS'S IN MICRO SD CARD?

Reviewer: Jaydeep - Pune, India

HO. HO. HO. Whew for L9. Dudes & gals this one of the most marvelous phone one can get in moderate price. I think it is the best in that range. Hats off for the styling capability of Motorola company's designer. Already razor edition is quite popular for it supreme styling. I am also big fan of razor flip phones, but only thing it lacks is FM radio.

So l9 has all good multimedia features with FM which made me to change any decision from razor.

Its LCD is small but highly colourful & vibrant & is good use as bit ipod function. Speakers are loud & clear. Only bit volume for earphone is not high for loud music fanatics. I think purposely left for to rokr.

Camera is OK. Satisfactory.

ONE COMPLAINT I HAVE IS THAT WHY MIRROR FINISHED TYPE PHONES IS LESS LAUNCHED IN INDIA. Here in most outlets you c is black glossy metal case. Mirror finished titanium looks is more impressive than black glossy casing.

Between just don't pay attention to other critics & reviewers who have tried to criticise this phone for lack of 3G capability.

Nowadays there's is no need in most of the countries, so in its range it is a gem. :)

Reviewer: Chris Lickorish - Warwick, UK

The phone has good predictive texts, an excellent speaker & good MP3 player - except that it will only play MP3 tracks, not aac or WMA. Also has good interconnectivity with phone & memory card (9icro SD) although a 1GB card seems to have caused it problems in that it disrupted the list of tracks (each track was listed twice, even though it was on the card only once). Once a card is inserted, any pictures taken are stored to the card, not the phone memory.

Connected it to the computer OK (had to buy the lead) & was able to download tracks & copy over pictures - but maximum picture download size is quite modest about 50k from memory. No need for any software to be loaded for copying tracks, but software needed to interface with Outlook (to populate address book, & calendar events).

I bought this phone as a supplement to my A780 (sat nav / handwriting recognition / MP3 with WMA, aac) as a holiday phone because of its excellent MP3 features & it hasn't disappointed.
