If first impressions are worth anything, it’s safe to say that Motorola’s new SLVR L7 iTunes Phone ($300 without contract, available in the United States through Cingular) is ready to continue the Motorola iTunes curse started by September 2005’s ill-fated ROKR E1 (iLounge rating: C+). Limited by many of the same software factors that turned ROKR E1 into the highest profile iPod-related bomb of 2005, SLVR L7 more or less repackages the same problems in a different package - admittedly one that is somewhat more visually appealing than ROKR, but still not the style rival of either the iPod nano or Motorola’s other, thinner SLVR phones..
