Originally announced as the SLVRcam V280, the Motorola L6 was released shortly before its heavily advertised brother, the L7 (see below). The L6 held the title of the thinnest mobile phone in the UK for a short while, before being beaten by the Samsung P300. Features of the L6 include Bluetooth, MP3 ring tones, camera and video on it. It is basically a cut-down version of the Slvr L7 with all functions except for iTunes (US only) and the use of external memory. The Slvr L6 also has a smaller screen than that of the Slvr L7.
A newer version of the L6 called L6i adds FM radio function.

The L7 was originally announced as Motorola SLVR V8 in February 2005, [3] before being renamed to SLVR L7. It was released at the same time as the L6 in early 2005, but the L7 is more professional, and is one of a few non-Apple branded phones released featuring iTunes support, allowing the user to play up to 100 downloaded songs that are stored on the phone's removable microSD card. It is known for its dedicated web browser and web video downloader which critics have said is the main feature of the Slvr.
The Slvr L7 also features Bluetooth connectivity, a digital camera with 4x digital zoom and has a speakerphone. Carried in the United States by Cingular Wireless, Metro PCS, and Cricket Communications, and carried in Canada by Rogers Wireless, it superseded the earlier Motorola ROKR E1, which was withdrawn from the market due to lackluster sales. There is also a quad-band World Version of the L7 available internationally, which comes without the iTunes software. Instead, the standard Motorola Digital Audio Player is included. The SD card is used for storing videos downloading from the web via GSM/GPRS.
This is a refresh version of the phone that features a 1.3megapixel camera, EDGE and some internal hardware changes - it is effectively a Motorola RIZR Z3 with a 1.3 MP camera in a candybar form factor. The various model designations are for different markets and case styles. Note that the L7i is not the same phone as the "L7 i-Mode" - despite the very similar external appearance, the internal parts are almost completely different. The L7e will operate with a 2 GB micro SD card.
Similar to the original Slvr, this CDMA version offers a Sprint or Motorola music player which can hold as many songs as the size of the memory card in the phone. It also features EvDO high speed data. The phone was offered in Venezuela by Movilnet and USA by Sprint, Claro, U.S. Cellular, MetroPCS, Cricket Communications, and a silver version for Verizon Wireless. It comes in silver(Verizon Only), black, and red (Sprint only).
While Sprint's Music Store/Player ("powered by Groove Mobile") will list all songs on the SD card, it fails to play any that reside above the first 1 GB of space on the card, producing "Error M506". It also fails to play random tracks if some tracks have a long pathname (directory name length plus file name length), where "long" is approximately over 32 characters.
Verizon's version specifically prevents you sending audio files to the phone via Bluetooth (OBEX). Ringtones can, however, be transferred using free software, called BitPim.
Partnering with Motorola, various British networks released a special Product Red Slvr and Bluetooth H3 headset to help support Global Fund programs which aim to positively impact the lives of women and children affected by HIV/AIDS in Africa.
When the battery is low, the Slvr emits a frequent loud beep, which is inconvenient in many settings. The beeping can be disabled by putting the phone in the silent or vibrate modes, or switching the phone off. The beeping stops when the battery is recharging.
