Mobile-Review reviews the Motorola L2/L6 (v270/v280) and writes about camera, “The camera allows not only taking photos but also recording video (3GP). The record may be called from the multimedia menu and then video. The duration of a record may be limited for a MMS or maximum (about 30 seconds). Two resolutions are supported 128×96 pixels and 176×144 pixels. Voice recording may be turned off. The quality of the video is average and the artifacts are seen on the screen. That was hard to expect the device will show any eminent features in recording video and it is typical and doesn’t differ from other models. The time that saving the video takes almost equals that necessary for recording and that is a disadvantage.”

PCmag reviews the Motorola L2 and writes, “The L2 looks and works a lot like its brother, the SLVR L6. At 4.3 by 1.9 by 0.4 inches and 3 ounces, it’s a very thin, lightweight slab with a washed-out 128-by-160 screen. The embossed keys on the SLVR L6 and L7 models have been replaced here by a raised plastic keypad. You can feel where the keys are, but they’re quite small. A single button on the left side cycles through volume options (all the way up, and then back to zero), and a button on the right activates the recorded-tag−style voice dialing.”

InfoSync reviews the Motorola L2 and writes about messaging features, “The L2 comes with relatively strong messaging features, including SMS/MMS messaging and AIM, ICQ and Yahoo Instant Messenger. The phone also comes with an e-mail client that connects to – and syncs with – MSN Hotmail, AOL, AIM, and Yahoo Mail accounts. It’s a clever feature; unfortunately, there’s no support for corporate or even POP/IMAP e-mail accounts, which would have been a key addition for business users. We also wish the application ran in the background (at least you get alerts when new messages arrive) and loaded more quickly – as it stands, it takes a full 15 seconds to launch. ”

CNET reviews the Motorola L2 and writes about keypad, “The navigation controls and the keypad buttons are similar to those on the L6, but Motorola makes some slight but important improvements to the L2 that earn it a few more points in our book. Both the navigation array and the keypad controls are slightly raised above the surface of the phone, allowing for a more tactile and user-friendly feel. The five-way toggle is easier to grasp, and we like that instead of activating the Web browser, the OK button opens the menu. You also get two soft keys, a dedicated menu button, and the traditional Talk and End/power keys. The last two controls are quite large, but the black soft keys blend in with the display border. While there’s still no dedicated Back button, the toggle can act as a shortcut to four user-defined functions.”

MobileWhack.com writes about design, “The Motorola L2 is ultrathin, a design mostly based on the SLVR L7 slimphone. A candybar phone, it apparently comes with a scratch-resistant display and Moto claims that it can provide as much as 350 minutes of talktime, which is pretty good.”
