CNET Asia Review

By Andrew Lim, CNET.co.uk

Very good

7.6

out of 10

View score

The good: New and improved Motorola interface; HSDPA (3.5G); S9 Stereo Bluetooth headset; easy-to-access SIM and microSD slots.

The bad: Hard-to-use keypad and nav keys.

The bottom line: It's great to see Motorola move away from the classic RAZR V3 design with Z8. We're also excited about the HSDPA. The awkward-to-use keypad, however, really lets the phone down.

Excellent Phone

Oct 27, 2008

Rating: 10 out of 10 (Perfect)
Pros: Design, Build Quality, Everything I expected and more
Cons: Keypad is a bit small
Opinion:
I purchased this phone after reading some goood and some bad reviews. Many have rebood and shutdown problems, slow menus etc..

I have had this phone for sometime now and never experienced a single problem, the only thing I can say negitive to some would be there is a learning curve that may take time for some to grasp, I myself coming from the z6 find this phone to be more feature filled and a more pleasing design, not many mention but the phone itself as a phone is excellent, I did do the firmeware update avaliable as soon as i recieved it, the menuse and OS are fast I have not had any lockup or reboot issues. To date I have had the v9. z9 z6 krzr razr 3XX and a couple of Iphones. As far as price, features included, layout ease of use etc.. this is one of my favorites.

Takes a little getting used to

Apr 22, 2008

Rating: 7 out of 10 (Very good)
Pros: Good Looks, very nice hi-fi sound
Cons: Need to spend time learning to use it unlike previous models, no wi-fi
Opinion:
Just got this beauty a couple of days ago. I must say its really a looker which really got people staring. You really get use to the keys after some time on it. I can't seem to find the music equalizer (if there is one) although it sounds great even with the original earphones that it came with. The control buttons get a liitle too green in the dark which makes it look a little toyish. Games installation takes longer than normal. Colors are really brilliant. Camera is surprisingly good for a 2mp. No wi-fi, probably that's why its so cheap. The features are not really easy to use as compared to its previous models or SE brand. I really paid for the looks as I didn't really expect much from Moto.
