Okay, so I am super picky with my phones. I want the latest and greatest. BEFORE I even get to that - I must say the design alone - even if it had no features made me smile

On to the list:

Con's:

Pretty slow response times - NOTE: THIS HAPPENS SOMETIMES. This usually happens when you click on something like a camera and rush a little. Just give the phone it's 1-2 seconds.

5 MB internal memory (for use) - Bleh, I wish there was more. Maybe a slot of external memory. I use mp3 ringtones on it and 5 MB doesn't cv

Um... That's it.

MIXED:

The .4 megapixel camera - It's good and surprising fits me I guess it's because of the good screen. It saves in JPEG and doesn't take up much memory though.

Pros:

Oval shape - VERY comforatable and fits in your pocket.

Self opens with slide of faceplate - Unique

MP3 Ringtones - You can save whole songs and play them with the phone closed even! It's awsome and the sound can get VERY, VERY high.

Videos - Not the best quailty but a nice feature

Bluetooth - Awsome!

Just about everything else =>

It's a 9.5/10 overall. The whole phone is just amazing. It could use some work but it's great. Hopefully the 'u7' will be better.

PEBL U6 Demands respect!

before i got this phone i research its specs and reviews on it before i would go get it. after reading reviews from mobiledia and other internet sources i made up my mind that the pebl is worth it after all. i came across few negative comments on it which i clearly dont see on it so far.

1 negative comment was
-slow response time (completely not true)
-razor software alike (alittle but the pebl has its uneek abilities)
-when it falls it opens (yeah but that should not be a problem. just dont drop the phone!!!)
-phone volume is weak (if you are really deaf then yah! lol but tmobile reception is good on this. i totally like the call volumes on this.
-0.3 megapixel cam! (well that's the downfall but it has 4x zoom which helps.

beside the negatives which most were not true. the phone packs a good punch and is definately in tmobile top 5 phone list. what i like about the phone is
-web browser
-battery life is great
-sleek style
-slide down front lid to open phone (real nice)
-bluetooth
-and the screen is 262,000 colors (tft)

get the phone please.... pebl is truely great!

My Motorola PEBL

Well I have had the phone for a few months now and it is the best phone I have had so far!

Things I like about it are I have better service with this one then I did with my V360 also the speaker on it sounds better also I can use it for allot longer then I could with the V360 because it is more comfortable to use. The hinge in it is cool now that I have it I cannot live without it LOL when I use other people's phone I try to open them as if they had the hinge also. The sound quality is great also I can hear and people I talk to sounds great and they always say don't sound like I am using a mobile phone. Battery life could last a little longer but I think all the good thing about this phone out shine that so if you are in the market to buy a new phone go T-Mobile and get the PEBL you won't be disappointed!

Re: PEBL U6 Demands respect!??????

When i got my pebl i was beside myself !! however i have several negatives to report . . .

biggest one is that it only holds one full song (mp3) i can not find any way of getting it to allow more than 1 at any time

Another neg is that once i had chosen my personalised ring and message tones it randomly applies them to other callers/message senders which is very confusing

also the cover is very easy to mark and not easy to clean

there we go - i've now had my rant

any users out there who can help with my ringtone memory problem please let me know!!

I really expected more from this handset!

All I have to say is "meh". The phone is basically just like a V330, just with a prettier casing. Numerous extra keys are far superfluous for any needs really. As well, the rubber housing is very sensitive, god help you if you drop it on pavement; the scratches are horribly noticeable and ugly. To this day I'd still rather use my old V600 or Sony Ericsson Z600. This handset is a gamble, and a personal preference. Good luck all.
