The Good:

  1. Weight: The Motorola SLVR has a smaller than average weight, which is usually perceived as a plus. (score: 12/20)
  2. Technology: The Motorola SLVR is compatible with worldwide GSM frequencies , a convenient feature for overseas travelers. (Note that additional roaming fees from your home carrier generally apply) (score: 7/7)

  4. Stand-by Time: 350 hours of stand-by time. It is way above average! (score: 20/20)
