Motorola RIZR Z3

(2/23/07)
Summary: The Motorola RIZR sells for Rs. 13,300 with a one year warranty. At that price, the slider from Motorola is worth the flaunt. It may not be all sleek like the D series from Samsung nor is it all that feature-rich like the Samsung sliders. But we can't rule out the style that of the Motorola's posse; and the number of RAZR handset users is... Read the full review
Pros: ; 2 MP Camera, Flash, Memory card slot, Good build & design, Swift interface

Motorola MOTO Z8 (formerly the Motorola RIZR Z8)

(2/12/07)
Summary: Read the full review
Verdict: Let's get straight to the point, the coolest thing about the Motorola MOTO Z8 is that it's.. well..notstraight. Unlike conventional sliders with a simply up/down mechanism, the MOTO Z8 curves inwards so that it is more ergonomic to use, rather like a clamshell phone.
