Summary: Read the full review
Verdict: The multimedia-friendly Motorola Rizr Z8 is a nice idea, but its pokey performance and awkward controls don't do it any favors.
Pros: ; The Motorola Rizr Z8 has an innovative design, an attractive display and user interface, and a generous multimedia feature set. Also, its call quality was decent, and the video playback was excellent.
Cons: ; The Motorola Rizr Z8 construction takes getting used to, and its controls and keypad are unintuitive. It lacks voice dialing, and its interface was rather slow.

Verdict: It's great to see Motorola move away from the classic Razr V3 design with this mobile, also known as the Motorizr Z8. We're also excited about the HSDPA. The awkward-to-use keypad, however, really lets the phone down
Pros: ; New and improved Motorola interface; HSDPA (3.5G); S9 Stereo Bluetooth headset; easy-to-access SIM and microSD slots
Cons: ; Hard-to-use keypad and nav keys

Motorola RIZR Z8 review


Summary: Read the full review
Verdict: The Z8 smartphone is Motorola's best and most powerful handset since the slimline classic. There is life after the RAZR.
Pros: ; The stand-out features of the Z8 have to be its quality video playback, slick KiKR-slider and the more user-friendly and customisable Symbian-based UI.
Cons: ; For a phone of the Z8's ranking, the two-megapixel camera is miserable. Why not 3.2, Motorola?

Pros: ; Impressive battery life (5 hours voice, 16 days standby); Cutting edge design; Works seamlessly with 3G networks; Beautiful QVGA display; All of the common features expected in a high end Motorola phone
Cons: ; Slider design can lead to accidental button presses and one scratched screen; Uses Symbian operating system; Not yet available from any American carriers
