This is a review for my old Motorola PEBL cell phone. I used to love this thing. In its day, it would get a lot of looks. The ringer was loud. I think a remix of Lil Wayne’s “Lollipop” used to blare from it when people would call me.

The body of the Pebl U6 is primarily made out of metal, although everything other than the hinge has a colour coating which makes it matte rather than shiny. The external texture is polished but not quite smooth, resisting finger prints and smudges. Buttons and connectors are kept flush in order to maintain the phone’s smooth appearance. In contrast to many other products with a one line external display, the external screen is mounted vertically, rather than horizontally.
The unit is held closed by magnets, and can be opened with a single hand by pushing the lid of the phone away from the hinge mechanism. The hinge itself is spring-loaded, so that when cracked it actively swings fully open.
Initially, the product was available only in black, but in the second quarter of 2006, Motorola launched four additional colours. It is now produced in black, blue, green, red, orange and pink, although the exact colour selection varies per country. Shortly before the new colors became available, Motorola commissioned photographer David LaChapelle to capture the new Pebl phones in a colourful photo shoot.[1][2]
