Advantages: Great design Disadvantages: Difficult to use
...had decided I wanted the Motorola Z8. I hate Motorolas as a general rule - I find them quite clunky and hard to use but I had tried a Z8 out and decided I quite liked the feel of it. I was sold on the HD screen, the fact it will play a full length film (not that I often have occasion to watch a film on my phone but you don't think of these things when you buy one). It seemed pretty easy to use with a decent sized memory but most of all I liked the ... ...phones. Its still disappointing that Motorola seem to have chosen to make savings on he camera and I feel that this lets the phone down.
The reception quality is ok but not great and I have to assume that this is the phone as I have been with o2 for some time without any reception problems.
The other major problem as far as I am concerned is that files, messages, numbers etc are automatically stored on the phone unless you change this - this meant ...

...and i came across the Motorola Z8. it looked good, it sounded good and aparantly it was meant to be good..... little did i know how much trouble i would have with this phone.
When i recieved the phone... you get it packaged in a nice big box with a photo of the film you revieve on the memory card, the bourne identity, on the front. I could sit here and tell you all about what you get with it, the memory card, tell you about how pretty it looks... ... ...This phone is nothing but trouble.
I had it for less then a month before i had to send it back. The first thing i noticed was the length it took for when you open it... it takes 3-5 seconds for you to be able to move yourself around the menu which can be so annoying. The menu itself is laid out really nice and clear..... but its just annoying with the waiting time for you to be able to access it.
Then i noticed a whining noise everytime i recieved ...

Advantages: Sleek design, great movie playback, great sound quality Disadvantages: Not brilliant battery life, Very complex - hard to pick up and use,
Motorola make a nice phone?!!
Yes its true, this phone is fairly good, it has all the features of a modern day phone and more. Well first of all the standard functions: they are very good, the mp3 player is very good and the quality of the sound is fantastic, i compared it to my Sony Erricson w850i and i prefered the Motorola Z8. As for the other features they are pretty much the same. Except from the curving slide design which works suprisingly ... ...not a big fan of Motorola but i have to hand it to them it is a great quality screen and the movie playback is fantastic, it truely looks amazing and with the great sound quality it truly is amazing, It also includes the S9 headphones which are really good and a copy of Bourne identity which is a really good movie. Also the charger that comes with it works in UK and Europe which is good for businessman, which is who the fone is aimed at. However ...

Advantages: Everything you could want from a phone Disadvantages: a bit exspensive
This tasty little number has been brought to you from those wonderful people at Motorola.This really is a great little phone,it's sleek ,stylish, and sexy. Oh yeah and very high tech as well.The Z8 has all the right curves. One of which being the one that curves lovingly around your check and done towards your mouth.Its the first phone that I have ever used that I feel comfortable holding in my hand and talking into.The Z8 comes equipped with a nice ... ...and a hefty 4GB of memory when you use the micro SD cards.
It has a nice little feature on it where in you can take the sim card out of the phone without removing the battery. Although you will need to reboot the phone afterwards if you do swap sim cards over.Highly pointless but yet a new feature.
The front of the phone is covered with a nice glossy flat face and a small VGA for making video calls in the left hand corner. As like all the other ...

Advantages: good picture quality Disadvantages: my whole reveiw is negative realy
I got this phone with o2 over a pay monthly scheme. I pay £35 a month and this came with the phone for free as well as a free bluetooth headset. It came with the film The Bourne Identity on a 512mb mini SD card. The phone is stlish and has a bend in it to cause ease with talking on the phone and has 16million colours, a 2 megapixl camera with an 8 times zoom. To be quite honest however i wish i'd never bothered with this phone. It has caused nothing ... ...as easy as another phone might be, it takes ages to load the menu and after you change a profile it seems to freeze. The battery life is pathetic if i'm quite honets. It's tempermental. Sometimes it'll last two days without charging (although it will decrease the battery life), however sometimes the phone will be dead by the time the day is out evne though i had the phone on charge all day. I want a phone to help me day to day, and this phone is ...

Advantages: The look good Disadvantages: But never work more than 5 minutes
...a big fan of Motorola phones, due to having a lot of problems with the black razor. I was looking for a Nokia mobile telephone when I noticed the sleek Z8. After careful consideration, I order my Motorola Z8 online and opted for a 18 month contact with 02, this was last November.
I had the phone proberly less than a month before the screen went wrong, for example I would try to make a call and the screen woulnd turn purple/ red/ black and then turn ... ...another phone w hich doesnt even charge. so at the moment im phoneless and paying £40 per month and not being able to make a phone call.

Advantages: Great camera, amazings speakers, bent shape for fitting of face. Disadvantages: Keys are tough, changing settings can be confusing
I got this phone as part of a contract deal, and was shocked with the amount of features there are with the phone, which include:
Camera, 2mega pixles, may not seem alot, but does produce high quality pictures with camcorder mode!
Sky: you can watch sky tv on your phone, so if you have a sky box at home just simply type in your user name and password and watch tv.
Moviclip: watch movies on the phone
Media centre: Easy way to keep your meida files ... ...friends.
USB cable: really easy, it is like a storage device just plug it in, and either transfer stuff from your phone to pc (eg, music, videos, pictures etc) or put stuff from your pc onto the phone.
Advantages: Many features. Great Camera with different modes. The bent structure of it so it fits the shape of your head easier
Amazing speakers on it, great for showing off music
Vibrant and clear screen
Love the details of the green on it
Disadvantages: ...

Advantages: Amazing phone, long battery life, smooth movie graphics Disadvantages: Can become faulty if used vigorously and the slide mechanism can become scratched
After browsing through catalogues of mobile phones and accessories, my eyes instantly fell upon the sleek design of the Z8. Unlike all conventional mobile phones, this phone has a 'slide and bend' feature which enables a more comfortable firt around the user's head. It also has a crystal clear interface screen which shows images and movies in high resolution. The Bourne Identity edition not only includes the phone but comes with the surreal S9 headphones ... ...movie is supplied within a MicroSD memory card. At first apprehensive about the quality of watching a film on a phone, I was soon to find that the quality and smoothness was uncannily like watching a film on a television. The colours were vibrant, the movement was flowing, and above all, the battery life was more than adequate. I rate this package 5/5 as it creates a home cinema experience that fits in your pocket. A must have for any movie fan, ...

Advantages: Loads of state of the art features! Disadvantages: Takes a bit of getting used to.
I got this phone a few days ago and was drawn to the fact that it also plays movies in HD as well as music. The casing is sturdy, but a little awkward to open at first, till you get used to it.(I kept knocking the battery cover off by accident).
The camera quality is exceptional and when you watch a movie, the picture quality is 'top notch'.
I will be able to watch sky tv on it when it becomes available but due to the newness of this product its ... ...but I put this down to having so many features. Updates are available from your PC.
The blue tooth wireless head-set is comfortable with great sound quality, I can also get an adapter so that I can listen to my ipod, tv, stereo and pc through it (impressive eh). A stylish, state of the art piece of equipment. ...
