This week marks the U.S. launch of the SLVR, Motorola's attempt to revolutionize the candy bar-style phone in the way that the RAZR forever changed clamshells. There is certainly no candy-bar style phone sold in this country that's as slim, and packed with as many features, as the SLVR. Still, I'm still on the fence about it. Don't get me wrong: the SLVR (pronounced sliver) is a sexy phone, designed for people who aren't into flip phones but are jealous of RAZR owners. It has RAZR-style anodized aluminum sides, a thickness (thinness?) of 11.5mm, and gently raised number keys, set in plastic that has been through a process called "vacuum metallization." Head over to The Time to learn more about this new smartphone from Motorola.
