The Motorola SLVR L7 (formerly known as the V8) is a version of mobile phone in the SLVR series. The phone is one of a few non-Apple branded phones released featuring iTunes support, allowing the user to play up to 100 downloaded tunes that are stored on the phone's removable microSD card. Its keypad derives from the RAZR's, albeit without the dedicated web browser and text messaging buttons. 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Carried in the United States by Cingular Wireless, Metro PCS, and Cricket, and carried in Canada by Rogers Wireless, it superseded the earlier Motorola ROKR E1, which was withdrawn from the market due to lackluster sales.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.

[edit] SLVR L7c

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. Currently the phone is offered by Sprint, Claro, U.S. Cellular, MetroPCS, Cricket Communications, and a highly crippled version from Verizon Wireless. It comes in silver, black, and red (Sprint only). However, only the silver version is supported by Verizon.

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 1GB 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. Ringtones can, however, be transferred using free software.

[edit] Red SLVR L7

Partnering with Motorola, various British networks released a special Product Red SLVR and Bluetooth H3 headset to help support Global Fund programs which positively impact the lives of women and children affected by HIV/AIDS in Africa.

Samsung has released the Samsung T509 and X820 to compete with the SLVR.
