Sliver of a Phone

Motorola SLVR scaled.jpgThe Motorola RAZR better watch out. Its slimmer, sexier little sibling has arrived. The SLVR is now available at Cingular Wireless, and it's looking mighty fine. The SLVR is the candybar version of the RAZR and measures in at less than half an inch thick. It's also Motorola's second phone to include iTunes software, although the same stupid 100-song limit still exists. The phone will run you $200 with a two-year service contract--a longer commitment than most celebrity marriages these days--but that does net you a few nice extras, like Bluetooth and a 512MB MicroSD card.

I have a sanyo scp 6000 and it is thinner and narrower and it's titanium. It makes the sliver look like a fat pig.

most of you are idiots. its a freaking phone. why would you spend 200 bucks on a phone? because it has useless features that lets you be lazy and probably sit on your butts all day listening to cool tunes, while you continue to reach mammoth proportions because today's society has no idea how to keep in shape, but would rather immerse themselves in a world of glamour and flash and stupidity? Woo Hoo! what a way to live...morons

The guy promoting the sanyo, I suggest a hockey skate is thinner too, at least the blade is, I guess the boot part wouldn't count by your reasoning. And having read the comments to date, literacy is as big a problem as they say. And the girl looking for a date, get any phone that has vibrate, or go back to singles sites. Ya all have a nice day.

Uh.....so let me get this straight. All this hoop la over a device that Alexander Graham Bell invented in the 19th century?? It's just a phone people, it wont enhance your life any. It's not like getting bit by a vampire....you will grow old and you will die, even with a thin phone!!! Just as well to save some money, but I guess being with the in crowd is more important. Hell, I want a RAZR or a thin phone too!!
I WANNA BE SOMEBODY!!!!

I didn't hear much about the sd. Given that this phone has more (free) media capabilities I'm pushing to end my contract with the Razor, and that stupid free mpeg commercial that says look what I can do but you can't.
