As of November 2005, (when it was first introduced) the Motorola Slvr L6 ranked as one of the ten highest-radiation phones in the United States at a digital SAR level of 1.58.

Carried in the United States by Cingular Wireless, Metro PCS, and Cricket Communications, and carried in Canada by Rogers Wireless, it superseded the earlier Motorola ROKR E1, which was withdrawn from the market due to lackluster sales.

Similar to the original Slvr, this CDMA version offers a Sprint or Motorola music player which can hold as many songs as the size of the memory card in the phone.

The phone was offered in Venezuela by Movilnet and USA by Sprint, Claro, U.S. Cellular, MetroPCS, Cricket Communications, and a silver version for Verizon Wireless.

Verizon's version specifically prevents you sending audio files to the phone via Bluetooth (OBEX).

Partnering with Motorola, various British networks released a special Product Red Slvr and Bluetooth H3 headset to help support Global Fund programs which aim to positively impact the lives of women and children affected by HIV/AIDS in Africa.
