Review of Motorola PEBL
Review of Motorola PEBL
Shaped by nature and inspired by the feel of a stone worn smooth by water, the distinctively rounded PEBL U6 is the latest work of art release by Motorola’s innovative design team.
I ran across this cool looking mobile phone on the Motorola site, the Motorola PEBL. Judging from the mini site for the Motorola PEBL it is supposed to resemble a smooth, rounded river rock. I fail to see the resemblance there, but the Motorola PEBL is a cool looking phone. I like the idea behind the one touch self opening hinge design touted on the Motorola PEBL.
As a T-Mobile exclusive, the PEBL delivers sophisticated technology and rock solid design. While attributes such as “chiseled, thin and defined” steered the development of the RAZR, the PEBL is shaped to reflect “tactile, soft and mysterious” qualities to offer an elegant mobile choice for the masses.
Crafted of high-quality materials, the PEBL has a solid feel not found on most phones today, complemented with quad-band functionality, video capture and playback, and Bluetooth wireless technology. Designed with the fashion-conscious consumers in mind, appearance was placed in the forefront. Truly distinct, the PEBL seems to evoke that rare quality of the desire Motorola so successfully achieved with the RAZR.
I currently use a Motorola V180 (don’t laugh) that is a flip design and I hang up on almost as many people as I answer thanks to my trying to flip the phone open too fast. I also like the cool black and silver looks, the digital clock is unique as well. The inside of the Motorola PEBL is very Razrish looking.
“Form and style combined with ease of use is important for mobile consumers, and that’s why it’s exciting to announce the availability of the groundbreaking Motorola PEBL exclusively from T-Mobile,” said Michael Gallelli, Director and Head of Product Marketing, T-Mobile USA. “Its innovative look, soft touch and menu interface come together perfectly to provide a terrific communication and personalization experience for our customers.”
The Motorola PEBL offers an array of communication options, including Bluetooth(R) wireless technology, integrated speakerphone and speech-activated dialing.
The Motorola PEBL also features Motospeak, which is a hard way to say it accepts voice commands for dialing and phone navigation. The PEBL also includes a digital camera and Bluetooth. The camera also allows you to capture video with sound.
“The Motorola PEBL is the next icon in our design portfolio, featuring a truly fresh oval shape with rich multimedia and connectivity features,” said Jim Wicks, vice president, Consumer Design Experience, Motorola, Inc. “Simple and sophisticated, the PEBL emphasizes design to create a one-of-a-kind experience for T-Mobile customers.”
The Motorola PEBL is available at all T-Mobile retail stores for the price of $299.
