Motorola MOTO Z8

The Motorola Z8 is a neat designed and sleek looking futuristic device! I originally was convinced to buy this phone because of its looks and features that no other Motorola has had before. For starters the phone curves as the sliding mechanism is opened, which gives it a really funky look! The Z8 is also a media player; a copy of The Bourne Identity comes with the phone on a Micro SD card and looks fantastic on the 2 inch, 16 million colours TFT screen. The phone has a 2.0-mega-pixel camera with a maximum resolution of 1600x1200 pixels and 8x zoom and another camera on the front to record yourself for video calls. The only sad thing about the camera ...  Read the complete review

Motorola is well known for producing sleek, thin mobile phones, and this is by no means an exception. It has two cameras, one for video calling and a 2mp one for taking ordinary snaps.

There are 2 main unique features about Z8 RIZR. One is that it operates on Symbian OS, which not many motorola phones do. The other is the peculiar sliding mechanism, which effectively bends the phone, to a curved shape. Is it ergonomic? I think so. I first thought such sliding mechanism would break down easy or have some sort of faults, but that wasn't the case at all! I was even more impressed by the screen, the resolution and sunlight legibility. Which was great, amongst the Symbian goods, though it does not look smilar to Nokia Symbian phones. The layout of the keypads were neat, nicely coloured and shaped, responsive and easy to use. The Camera was not ...  Read the complete review
