MrMobile [Michael Fisher]'s video: When Phones Were Fun: Motorola PEBL 2005

If you were old enough to know what a cellphone was in the year 2004, then you remember Motorola's iconic RAZR flip phone. But what you might not remember is that the RAZR was just one in a series of "4LTR" releases throughout the mid-oughts. These included, among others: the super-slim SLVR; the substandard ROKR; the ultra-premium AURA (covered in episode 2 of this series) … and a phone that looked nothing like any of its siblings, yet blended perfectly into the 4LTR family – because it looked like nothing else on the market, either. On this episode of When Phones Were Fun, we’re heading back to the latter half of 2005 to unpocket the plump, pudgy and perfectly precious Motorola PEBL U6!
