Pebble Cell Phone

with one comment

Motorola’s PEBL (or pebble) phone is a clamshell design with a beautiful, ergonomic look and feel which is complemented by its high tech features. These featues include Bluetooth wireless technology, an integrated speaker-phone, voice-activated dialing, video capture and playback, and high-speed EDGE technology. This phone is a pleasure to hold with its smooth, rounded contours, along with the tactile rubberlike finish and 1-touch opening action.

The integrated camera with 4x digital zoom is MPEG4 capable allowing both video capture and playback. Motorola’s U6 PEBL Bluetooth compatiblity means it can connect wirelessly to personal computers, headsets and other digital devices.

PEBL phones have the ability to download ringtones (polyphonic, mp3), cellphone games, screensavers, and still or animated images.

The PEBL is a bit lacking in the storage deptartment, compared to some similar phones, offering only 5MB of memory and no memory card slot. If you use your cellphone primarily for making phone calls, this should’nt be a huge drawback.

In summary, the PEBL from Motorola is a wonderfully designed and constructed phone that will attract the style conscious user.
