    This is not a bad phone for calls and texting. Voice quality is good and CrystalTalk really helps in noisy conditions. On one occasion I made a call near an idling jet plane - and I could be heard clearly.
    Messaging support is not the best, but definitely solid with features like auto-cleanup and sorting. You can store about 500 text messages on the phone.
    FM radio works as advertised and reception is good, except if you use 3rd party headset or even Motorola original headset for V3i/L7 (which looks exactly the same, but without "FM" label). I haven't seen headsets for L9 on sale anywhere, so don't lose yours if you want good radio reception.

    Despite that it comes with 1GB microSD card (expandable up to 2GB), it's not suitable as an MP3 player because of the poorly implemented user interface.
    There's no music library and finding the right track is a pain in the ass.
    The built-in player doesn't play whole albums - if you want to play more than a single track, you have to create a playlist and it's very cumbersome.
    A2DP (stereo bluetooth) support is heavily advertised on the box, in the manual and in the phone itself. However, the sound quality even with Motorola's own bluetooth headphones (S9) is so poor that makes you want to throw the phone against the wall in despair. So your best bet is using good old-fashioned wired headphones (miniUSB -> 3.5 mm jack adapters are available online).

    One last thing that most other reviewers overlook is that L9 has surprisingly good video player. It can play MP4 video in fullscreen with resolution up to 352x288@25 fps with bitrates up to 900kbps and stereo AAC audio.
    However, screen size is only 220x176 (in landscape mode), so if you convert DVDs or other sources to watch them on L9, use that resolution - it takes less resources and looks better.

              nice phone , especially when you have 2 gb tf card in it , with hour long mixes and movies ! , rsa is not yet removed that is the only thing i don't like about this phone right now , to store music and movies just switch your connection to memory card and windows will pop up with a removable drive , all you have to do is copy and paste your music , videos , pictures but make sure you put them in the right folder. Email me if you need help with your L9.

                  Look, if the menu thing falls off, they said to superglue it. It works, trust me. BUT BE CAREFULL!

                      Had this phone for about a month and the menu pad fell off and motorola said they wouldn't fix it becuause it was made in singapore. I would think that if its a motorola product they would fix it where ever. Next the key pad started to go the plastic film that covers the keys started coming off. Now i am here looking for another phone becuase hte keypad doesn't work at all or rather it goes straight to what my left softkey is set for. Other htan that it was a great phone.

                        one thing i like about motorola was actually the people who patronizes this brand. they're not immature or warfreaks unlike fanboys of other brand

                        peace...

                                  seriously, this is a good phone. despite the fact that it's a bit too heavy, it should have had a better music player and the response a little to slow,...it good enough. the features good as well. the music does play softer than most phones but i resolved that by raisin the volume of the mp3s because that phone volume can't raise.
                                  the camera and video recording is great, real crisp!
