If you’re one of the many people who buy the latest mobile phone, with all the latest functions, only to realise you’ll never use the majority of them – come on, you already have a digital camera, don’t you? – then this phone is for you.

Sure, the Motorola L6 has none of those fantastic features, like taking the sharpest photos or engaging in live video conferencing, but when it comes to basic functions, it doesn’t get much better than this.

The greatest feature, undoubtedly, is the slimness of this phone. At only 10.9mm thin and approximately 80g, you may occasionally feel that the phone might just crumble into dust – don’t worry, it won’t. You will, however, appreciate the L6’s size and form when it’s slipped into your back pocket or tucked in your clutch on girls’ night out.

In a new release, the L6 comes in a lovely coat of BubbleGum Pink. Rather than growing tired of the colour as the novelty wears off, as one might, it grows on you. While the simple candy-bar shape of the phone appears like that of any other by the looks of it, it looks great- and even more so when settled comfortably in your hand.

Equipped with the latest Bluetooth technology providing you with multi-sensory connections, video capture and playback, Tri-Band and a 4X zoom digital camera, the L6 is a perfect balance of your mobile phone necessities, and a little extra to make your connections come a bit easier.

Another benefit comes in the form of the cost – it’s as slim as the phone itself, at an expected retail price of about $280, without any trade-in or operator plan.

You have a choice between 2 new colours, BubbleGum Pink and Diamond Dust. So, there isn’t really much consideration needed. With Motorola’s new-found user-friendliness, the L6 is a phone within your budget, balancing simplicity, functionality, and attractiveness. What more do you really need?
