Product Description
Need to trim down? The Motorola L6i is the answer. This stylish, quad-band world phone has more than just great looks, with features like Bluetooth, FM Radio, mobile email, a speakerphone, voice dialing, a camera, and more. Now you can have a skinny phone that’s big on the features that make your life easier. At less than a half-inch thick, the L6 features a large 128 x 160-pixel color display with 65,000 colors that resides above the handset’s backlit control pad. Most of the phone’s menus and features are controlled by a circular control pad just above the numeric keypad. Up/down buttons are placed on the left side, and there’s also a highly accessible mini-USB port on the right side of the phone for data synchronization. The VGA camera unit is placed on the back of the phone. The L6i’s internal phone book can hold up to 500 contacts. The phone also supports polyphonic ringtones as well as MP3-based ringers, allowing you to use portions of your favorite songs to alert you to incoming calls. It’s compatible with polyphonic ringtones, and there’s a vibrating alert for times when you want to be discreet. Picture and ringer ID functions let you assign photos or ringtones to incoming callers, while a voice dialing feature lets you call your contacts by speaking to the phone. Plus, a built-in speakerphone makes it easy to talk without having the phone to your ear.
