How the heck do you open this thing?” My girlfriend tried to imitate my by-now well-practiced thumb-slide-pop maneuver to open the sleek clamshell Motorola PEBL from T-Mobile ($199.99 after rebates), but couldn't quite get the hang of it. In an...

Unique good looks; bright interior LCD screen; landline-like call quality

Low iPod Shuffle-like capacity; poor quality ear buds; exposed and vulnerable surface and screen

Despite PEBL's must-have good looks, you can find better equipped phones for much less money from T-Mobile...

The camera is pretty standard for a camera phone. The PEBL has a VGA (640 x 480) resolution camera with a 4x zoom, with a video capability at 15 FPS. But, you aren't going to be blowing up and printing out these pictures to even a 4x6 without major...

More expensive than most phones in its class

Wonderful story, reckoned we could combine a few unrelated data, nevertheless really worth taking a look, whoa did one learn about Mid East has got more problems as well [...]…...

It's rugged and stylish. It's sleek and comfortable. In fact, the Motorola PEBL offered by T-Mobile has quickly become the second-most handsome thing in my house, behind only the cat (trust me, you don't want to upset the cat). The PEBL is the...

Great styling. Strong, sturdy design ; clear, bright screen ; sharply focused camera ; Cons: Slow user interface, can't connect to computer via USB without additional software

Slow user interface, can't connect to computer via USB without additional software

The PEBL's slow user interface might put off fast-paced buyers (though if you're OK with other recent Moto phones, the PEBL won't both you much). That said, the cool styling, variety of available colors, no-slip coating which keeps the phone safefly in...

I have had this phone for 2 years and could not have asked for a better phone. I love the you have to slide it down to open it…we all have our quirks that's what makes it interesting. I now have to switch cell phone company and must choose a new...

I've had the PEBL for about a year, until I jumped into the pool with it in my hand =/ Well up until that point it was a very reliable phone. Calls never failed, and I dropped it almost daily (it still looks new). The best part was the way it opened,...

I've had my PEBL for a year and three months now and it still works fine. I've never had to take it in for any repairs and I've even dropped it pretty well on a few occasions. It's only frozen up maybe 2-3 times, which is pretty standard. Opening the...

Charles must be a destroyer because my Pebl that I have had for over a year looks great. Nothing wrong with it; Always reliable, this is a great device.

The recording on this phone is terrible. All the other phones are great at recording but this one you can't hear. I love the phone but the pictures are also bad – it is like an old camera and you have to wait for like 3 seconds so the picture is not...

I've had the PEBL for about a year and it looks like crap. The smooth finish it sports when you buy it goes downhill in about three or four months; it can be scratched by rubs, scrapes, and maybe even dirty looks. The keypad is almost too dim to see in...

I have come to learn and accept that Motorola phones has an expiration date. They will stop working after a little over one year inspite of how carefully you handle them. I got the pebl as a gift, having sworn to stop buying Motorola phones…The look,...
