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.

 

a good phone anyway

Mar 10, 2008

Rating: 9 out of 10 (Spectacular)
Pros: 16m color screen, 3G with HSDPA, nice design, UIQ 3,1 and so on
Cons: no wifi, keypad.
Opinion:
absent of wifi is really a sad thing..
and true that take some time to get used to the NEW and creative design keypad.

maybe the screen can be slightly bigger? 2.2inch is really abit .. err ..

 

Perfect phone for movie and TV series addicts! very unique style with class.

Rating: 8 out of 10 (Excellent)
Pros: QVGA 16 million colour display 90MB internal memory,upto 32GB expandable memory
Cons: keypad navigation, but if you get used to it, keypad wont matter at all
Opinion:
I rate this Moto Z8 and 8!
I agree with keypad review, at first it is really hard to navigate but once you get a feel of it after 3 days you'll get used to it. Camera is good enough, im not saying its very good. The main attraction of Z8 is watching a movie on your phone! Reviews and my first impression was toleratble with this phone. Now Im loving it.

 

Excellent kick slider from Motorola ... great start to Symbian UIQ3.1. Not for the less than ordinary!

Jan 12, 2008

Rating: 8 out of 10 (Excellent)
Pros: Solid Feel, 3,5G, Good Camera, Symbian UIQ3.1, Battery Life
Cons: lack of Wifi and add on software at point of sale, lack of touch screen
Opinion:
This is an excellent kick slider from Motorola. It takes sometime getting used to but once you figure out the chemistry behind this phone, off you go!

Its a lot easier to appreciate this phone if you're coming from the SE smartphone range. The software is somewhat similar except this comes w/o a touch screen.

It comes with 3.5G, rich media functions and loud (its really loud) speakers. I just managed to download the exchange active sync s/w from dataviz.com. This will allow you to download messages directly from your exchange server. unfortunately you have to pay for the licensed copy. It comes free with Sony Ericsson and Nokia but thats because you're paying a premium for it.

The lack of softwares pre-installed on the set could be its major drawbacks and this can certainly improve as Motorola starts rolling out more products in this suite. Looking forward to the z10. An additional touch ... Read more

 

Great but Late

Aug 30, 2007

Rating: 3 out of 10 (Poor)
Pros: Eronomics, UIQ 3.1, design, material finish
Cons: It it late
Opinion:
I saw this phone at the beginning of the year, told everyone i know i want this phone the next few days. My E680i was a dying phone, but none the less, no other phone on the market can replace it, design, function, "smartness" wise.. hhahaha
Motorola was my favorite phone manufacturer, the OS (less fashion phone, including RAZR) was simply the best, it takes a week or two to figure everything out, customize every single button, but after that, it is your phone, customized to you and you only.
It gets sooo personal that it is an image of how your brain functions (it is that good), all the softkeys and shortcuts are customizable.

So naturally i got very very excited when i saw this phone, the ergonomics are splendid, the buttons are beautiful and the high quality finish just pushes this phone over the ..... (lost for words) ... edge....

black and lime green is ... Read more
