@ anony
you CAN hide stuff. Just go to Settings>Security>Lock Application. enter ur Unlock Code (4 digits, default is 1234) and then choose the application that u want to keep secret. after u lock the application, u will always need to enter the Unlock Code to open it again. U might want to choose a new Unlock Code for more security.
@ Dev
U have to save all ur contacts to the phone first then apply a picture to the contact thats saved in the phone. then go to the contact that u want to apply a picture to. click Options>Edit Contact. scroll to the bottom to Picture and select the picture u want. thats it.

@ Ordanco:
Just go to the video that u want to rename, click OPTIONS, then click RENAME. Simple. U have to save all ur contacts to the phone first then apply a picture to the contact thats saved in the phone.

@ Wasim:
Skins are available. You just have to know how to apply them. http://www.modmymoto.com
Are you really going to be looking at the standby screen for enough time to actually WATCH and ENJOY and animated screensaver? Why would you just be staring at the standby screen anyway. And then people wonder why their battery life is short with other phones. Waste of time and Not necessary.

I decided to buy the L72/L9 back in late November as an early Xmas gift for my wife. After seeing the phone in person and trying it for myself, I decided to get one for myself as well. I was using a Samsung T619 From T-Mobile. That phone was TOTALLY USELESS. Always dropping calls, never sending messages and always having to clean up my messages memory because the phone only has room for 200 sms. And even when I had 5 bars (full signal), the phone still showed the NO SERVICE icon and message on the display! Samsung is ALL FLASH and NO SUBSTANCE. I've owned Nokia's before too but they just feel cheap to me. But they ARE the RECEPTION KING! When Motorola started using METALS in the construction of their phone, that turned the page for me.
When you first hold a bar style phone, you can feel how solid and durable the phone is. The metal construction of the SLVR just enhances those feelings. Especially when the metal is cold. The bar style also minimizes the points where the phone can squeak or flex which in turn alleviates the fear that your phone will break or fall apart over time. Ok let me stop talking about the constrution, It gets a 10.
Using the phone is very easy. When you first start using the phone, you WILL think that the phone is slow. It's not slow, it's just not as fast as Samsung or Nokia. The only thing that I feel that's missing within the menu system is NUMBERED Navigation, but it's not really missed. You get used to it and just start remembering the number of times u have to press up or down in the menus so its easy to find what you need fast.
The camera is fine for this price range. So what if there is no flash? Who takes pictures in the dark? Who even TRIES to take pictures in the dark? (Press 0 when using the camera to switch to Landscape mode.) I think the video recorder is better than any in this price range or class. The only limit is the amount of memory on your card. PLUS it records in the LARGER format of 352x288. This is the only phone in this class or range that records in that larger format!
It has an FM radio WITH RDS. This displays station info AND the title of the song playing, just like Satellite and HD radio.
The built in web browser is not very good. To remedy that, just install Opera Mini. It can handle 99% of web pages. It looks just like it would on a pc! The speed of the connection is not a problem if you live in an area with EDGE data coverage. Just remember, it's NOT a pc so complicated and media intense pages will load slower than normal because of the amount of data being transferred.
It supports JAVA applications. You can find anything you want on http://www.getjar.com or the mobile site http://wap.getjar.com
The ringtones are LOUD. You can even use mp3's as ringtones too.
It does not have a file manager like Nokia BUT you can find that on the MotoRAZR MAXX V6. I was going to get that phone but decided against it because its TRIBAND only (900, 1800, 1900) and even though it's 3G, it uses the 2100mHz band. I have T-mobile USA which will rollout 3G in th 1700mHz band. Hopefully sometime in 2008!
It has the other usual applications also. Datebook, Calculator and more. The world clock is nice too.
The battery life is not bad. Those that talk bad about it are forgetting that it's a PHONE first of all. Surfing the internet playing mp3's add an additional strain to the battery so you should expect the life to be shorter. I actually go 2 days on a full charge even after surfing 1 hour and listening to FM and mp3's for 30 mins a day. And the included headphones are nice actually. I just wish they had an inline volume control.
Note: Those with large fingers will have to get used to the keypad. It's kinda small, but you should expect that when u buy a phone this size.
And on a final note... The looks of a phone will only enthrall you for about a month or so. If your phone looks good but does nothing, what good is it? The SLVR L72/L9 does everything and does them well enough. You will be satisfied if you get this phone.
Also, our phone came with a menu icon that links u to the Google homepage. I removed it with help from the guys on http://www.modmymoto.com
My overall score for this phone with 10 being the highest, is 9.5. The only thing I don't like about the phone is the speed of navigation and response, but I'm really happy about my purchase and will never go back to sliders or flips again.
I bought 2 Motorola SLVR L72 kits which each included the following: the handset, 880mah (BK60) battery, travel charger, a wired stereo headset, mini usb adapter cable, a 512MB microSD card with full size adapter and the Motorola Phone Tools Software. Total cost was $350 USD ($175 USD each kit).

Excellent Stereo Audio for listening songs & Videos(mp4) & Radio, slim look, 2gb MicroSD Card Working fine with 1.5gb used - U can also defrag memory card using windows O/s for better performance. USB charging thro PC or adapter, Net connectivity from PC thro cellphone is excellent. DRAWBACKS: No Notes but there is drafts, all websites will not open. From Ram, Hyderabad, India.
