I'm sad because I am retiring this phone since I just changed carriers from Centennial to Verizon. I'm switching to the LG-EnV.<br /><br />I just wanted to let everyone know that this is a remarkable phone! I acquired this phone after I went through 4 Sony Ericson's and they upgraded me to this one. I have not had a single issue with static, dropped calls (though I know that this is not always attributed to the phone) or anything else. <br /><br />In fact, I dropped this phone from my sweatshirt pocket while I was asleep on the couch, and it fell into a full glass of Sprite. It was probably submersed for at least 5-10 seconds before I realized it. I took it out, wiped it down well, removed the battery and wiped it down inside, and attempted to turn it back on. I honestly figured I'd be making a trip to the store to get it replaced but that was not the case. The phone miraculously started right back up and I have had no issues with it whatsoever! I've had my two LG En-V's for about a week, and I dropped my first one into a clean toilet. I removed it immediately and tried to dry it out but it was a lost cause. <br /><br />Pros:<br />*Sleek design.<br />* Love the front face time stamp.<br />*Brightly lit and makes for a great little flashlight in a pinch!<br />*Has great sound and clarity.<br />*Sufficient battery life.<br />*Tough and very rugged!<br /><br />Cons:<br />*Little rubber piece to charger device broke off within a few days.<br />*Lack of ring tones.<br />*Games that come with the phone aren't that great.<br /><br />Overall, I will miss this phone! I would highly recommend to anyone wanting a sleek, sexy rugged phone with a long shelf life!</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=685 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=685&r=26931#review26931 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=685&r=26931#review26931 Mon, 24 Dec 2007 05:22:06 GMT <p><i>worldfamoussam submitted this review of the Motorola PEBL U6:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>I don't think I've ever given a phone a 5.0 before. Until now.<br /><br />This phone is perfect. It's the perfect size, has a perfectly visible and colorful screen, a perfect keypad to text on, perfect sound quality, perfect ring volume, perfectly effective vibrate, holds a great signal. The camera is fine for a VGA and it does everything I do often WELL (talk and text!)<br /><br />It's colorful and attractive ... feels good in the hand. The flip mechanism is fun.

But if you are buying one on E-bay, beware! Most of the ones being sold are the european version. Not that big of a deal, but certain words are spelled different and the charger adapter is kinda hard to use sometimes.

I have dropped it many times open and shut. It has also been thrown against poles and made off with a few scratches. And it went through the wash and came back to life in a few days.<br /><br />There are a FEW problems with the phone such as the flimsy feel. It does feel quite flimsy and wobbles quite a bit when in use but as I said before, it is quite durable. The major problem is the speaker. I have seen many complaints about it and I think it was probably a fluke in the design of the phone. Mine just started to go, faltering if I talk too loud and crackling a bit. This is easily solved by turning down the volume and speaking softer.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=685 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=685&r=23010#review23010 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=685&r=23010#review23010 Wed, 16 May 2007 22:07:29 GMT <p><i>dabkrb submitted this review of the Motorola PEBL U6:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>3</b> (out of 5)</p><p>This is a pretty good phone, It was purchased unlocked overseas, and it came with a USB Cable and the Motorola Phone Tools software!<br /><br /><br />Pros:<br />* Awesome flip, you have to slide/push the top, then it gently flips open.<br />* Durable rubber coating, doesn't slide off the dash int the car easily.<br />* Good bluetooth capabilities.<br />*Decent camera (all in all its a cell phone)<br />* Good reception (Rogers Wireless)<br /><br />Cons:<br />*Short videos (maybe 30 seconds)<br />* Confusing keypad (seems kinda zig-zag like, out of order hard to locate for text messaging sometimes (and I'm a pro in texting).<br /><br />All in all it's a decent phone, haven't had any issues with it yet.

I bought it to replace my Nokia 6230. I thought that Nokia had the market on reception and voice quality...boy was I wrong. This phone sounds like a land line phone and I haven't dropped a call since I got it. It feels perfect in the palm of your hand and the rubber tactile feel is great.<br /><br />Pros:<br />Great voice quality<br />above average battery life<br />USB charging(can plug into your comp to charge)<br />One-hand opening-spring loaded hinge<br />Voice dialing is AWSOME(no need to record YOUR voice...the phone recognizes it and you can edit it as well)<br />Tactile feel<br />Rounded edges-NO antenna to break either!<br /><br />Cons:<br />No MP3<br />No SD slot and 5MB of memory ain't much!<br /><br />OVERALL...a great phone packed with features and a look that makes a statement. Usually, you sacrifice looks for a phone and get no features. This PEBL packs a good one-two punch.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=685 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=685&r=22878#review22878 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=685&r=22878#review22878 Wed, 09 May 2007 06:48:32 GMT <p><i>reelizmpro submitted this review of the Motorola PEBL U6:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>4</b> (out of 5)</p><p>This was my first Motorola after using several Sanyo, Samsung phones. I love the design of the phone as well as the magnetic opening mechanism. Call quality is excellent as well with T Mobile in SoCal. Simple phone without too many gadgets. It's very easy to transfer pictures, ringtones to/from the computer using Motorola Phone tools. Using a single mini USB port for charging/data transfer/earset is a big plus. <br /><br />Pros: Great look, good call quality, MP3 ringtones, feels solid/durable, good battery life, mini USB. <br /><br />Cons: Internal LCD could have been bigger, no flash for camera, only 5MB memory, software leaves a lot to be desired (same as RAZR, etc). <br /><br />I have to say that although I like this phone, it did start to act up on me after only 8 months. I started experiencing lagging and blank screens. Then one day both displays went out. Motorola honored their 1 year warranty and I got a new PEBL after 2 weeks.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=685 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=685&r=22436#review22436 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=685&r=22436#review22436 Sun, 08 Apr 2007 00:31:38 GMT <p><i>Kassie submitted this review of the Motorola PEBL U6:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>4.5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>I just got this phone Thursday and so far it's been great.

With some reading on line, I was able to download the US English and most recent firmware. I got the phone up to date.<br /><br />Overall, I love this phone. Having an Unlocked and UnBranded phone is awesome. Every single option is available to you to set as you wish. I highly recommend making sure you are on the most current firmware though. The UK settings did not allow the adjustment of several options, such as auto update of date and time. Once I was on the new firmware, I had everything.<br /><br />One additional function which was kind of tricky to set up was MMS messaging. Once I got it functional, everything worked great.<br /><br />Performance:<br /><br />This phone has the best reception of any phone I have ever owned. Everyone says that I sound very clear on it. I use a M500 bluetooth headset almost 100% of the time and that works great.<br /><br />I so baby the phone because the black attracts fingers prints, etc. The keypad especially gets greasy. I clean it every night and always carry the phone in one of those "ipod" socks from Apple.<br /><br />I would recommend this phone to anyone who is not looking to use a phone for more than talking, texting, or taking an occasional picture.<br /><br />I use this phone on Cingular as well.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=685 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=685&r=22199#review22199 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=685&r=22199#review22199 Fri, 23 Mar 2007 05:56:07 GMT <p><i>phoneguru55 submitted this review of the Motorola PEBL U6:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>2.5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>this phone is well ok..... if your looking for something cute this is the phone for you. network and reception wise NO this phone is horrible everything about it is worth nothing</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=685 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=685&r=22118#review22118 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=685&r=22118#review22118 Sat, 17 Mar 2007 06:57:28 GMT <p><i>tmssalesrep submitted this review of the Motorola PEBL U6:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>1</b> (out of 5)</p><p>Ok I work for t-mobile as an authorized dealer; I hate this phone with every fiber in my body.

It is a very basic phone as far as features go, which was perfect for me. I don't need e-mail or anything like that on my phone. I just need to make phone calls and text, and this phone was great for that.<br /><br />However, Motorola has a history of shoddy technology that doesn't stand the test of time, and after using the PEBL for almost a year, I am sad to report that it is just another cool looking phone that will poop out on you after a little while.<br /><br />I take very good care of my phone, never dropped it, never got it wet, re-power it every day, etc. But still, just within the past month, it has started acting very strange.<br /><br />When I open the flip to answer a call, the phone will go completely blank, and sometimes the PEBL will even hang up on the caller. Also when I close the flip to end a call, the call won't end. The phone will be closed, but the person is still there. Even when I push the red bottom, the call won't end. The screen constantly freezes and I have to take the battery out just to turn the phone off and restart it.<br /><br />My advice, stick to a Nokia. Nokia makes basic phones that don't have a tone of bells and whistles (just like the PEBL), but will last you FOREVER. Sure, it doesn't look as cool as the PEBL, but it is a much better investment for your money.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=685 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=685&r=21058#review21058 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=685&r=21058#review21058 Thu, 11 Jan 2007 04:24:31 GMT <p><i>connory2006 submitted this review of the Motorola PEBL U6:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>4.5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>i really thought this was a good phone i was hoping for a 2megapixel camera tho but i like everything else.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=685 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=685&r=20927#review20927 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=685&r=20927#review20927 Thu, 04 Jan 2007 23:00:42 GMT <p><i>billyscope submitted this review of the Motorola PEBL U6:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>4</b> (out of 5)</p><p>This is just one mans opinion,Ive owned many I mean many phones being in the biz,but I the only negative thing that I can say about this phone is that the volume on the ear piece just doesn't get loud enough for me.I love the magnetic latch for you folks that are on the go and only have one hand to spare,I do often have people asking me if I'm in the office while in my car because of the noise reduction of this phone as opposed to my RAZR not enough memory but I can make do.

Take special care when using the hinge and opening the phone. If the top flips back very fast, the hinge gets weak over time. Rather open it the generic way. V360 has the digital music player, PEBL does not and the speakerphone though clear like the V360 is somewhat lower. Opening the back battery cover and removing the SIM card is tricky though.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=685 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=685&r=19811#review19811 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=685&r=19811#review19811 Fri, 10 Nov 2006 20:54:18 GMT <p><i>motorolaaa submitted this review of the Motorola PEBL U6:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>4</b> (out of 5)</p><p>i love motorola phones, and i had used razr and slvr, and i was stuck between krzr and pebl. but then i chose pebl cuz omg i think it's cute :D<br /><br />i know it's probably too late but i agree with most of other reviewers.. i think pebl is made for perfection, but i have 1 cons.. if only it had a memory card slot like in slvr, it will be a cellphone that is super perfect</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=685 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=685&r=19523#review19523 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=685&r=19523#review19523 Fri, 27 Oct 2006 04:25:28 GMT <p><i>Jawbreak submitted this review of the Motorola PEBL U6:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>1</b> (out of 5)</p><p>This phone in my opinion is not as good as it is made out to be.<br /><br />I have had the phone for about 6 months.<br />and I am on my second one.<br /><br />My first PEBL did okay for about 2 weeks.<br />And I liked it a lot.<br />The way it looked, performed, etc.<br /><br />Then I hit problems.<br />Whenever I tried to access either camera (video or still) My phone would freeze, requiring me to remove the battery, and restart the phone.<br /><br />This was something I could look past.<br />Then about 2 weeks later, my earpiece gave out.<br />I now had to have all my conversations through speaker phone.<br /><br />This proved to be very bad when I was in a professional setting, and very embarassing.<br /><br />Now keep in mind, althought I do lead a very physical life, and I tend to go through phones very quickly, I handled my PEBL very gently from the get-go.<br /><br />I finally gave in and got a replacement from T-Mobile.<br /><br />The new one I figured would be free of all the previous problems.<br />and it was<br />however, it had it's own, NEW problems.<br /><br />Two days after getting the phone, the speaker phone, ringer, and any sound not coming from the earpiece, ceased to work. <br />And the phone would freeze almost anytime you hit the "END" button in the middle of something.<br /><br />I later found the speaker had loose connections, and have to push on the speaker to get it to work (I would get a new one, but T-Mobile refuses to give me a nother phone for free, claiming that I somehow caused all of my problems with the PEBL).<br /><br />PROS:<br />Looks neat<br />Small<br />Can take a few drops<br /><br />CONS:<br />Quick to have software/hardware problems<br />Very bad service (I think due to a weak antenna)<br />Rubber coating chips off easily.<br />T-Mobile, enough said.<br />Speaker phone cuts out on every PEBL I've ever come across.<br />Very little memory<br />Bad Camera<br />No Voice Note Storage<br />Slow Operation<br />Vibrate only works sometimes.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=685
