A Tale of Two Phones
Review with images
13/10/2007

User recommends the product

Advantages Great design
Disadvantages Difficult to use

Many moons ago, I came to the end of a phone contract and decided to switch networks and get a brand new sparkly phone. However, my boyfriend, being horrendously competitive and magpie-like in his love of sparkly new things, could not possibly tolerate me having a brand new phone while he suffered a clunky old brick. So we ended up with identical handsets and phone numbers that are one digit different - testimony, not to our romantic close-ness, but rather to his green-eyed monster streak. So now we are stuck in a cycle where our phone contracts always expire at the same time and we both end ... more

Nothing but hassle 30/11/2007

User doesn't recommend the product

Advantages Nice phone, Nice bright Colours... Good memory
Disadvantages Trouble, Hassle.

It was time for my contract renewal on o2 and i could choose a new phone, so i was looking on there website 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... but i am just gonna get straight to the ... more

Complex yet stylish 12/09/2007

User recommends the product

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 well and feels and looks really good. The part you have all been waiting for: the HD screen. Ok ill admit im not a big fan of Motorola but i have to ... more

User recommends the product

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 2 mega pixel camera,90MB of memory on the actual phone and a hefty 4GB of memory when you use the micro SD cards. It has a nice little feature on ... more

My honest opinon 30/09/2007

User doesn't recommend the product

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 but problem after problem. Putting the phone into lock isn't as easy as another phone might be, it takes ages to load the menu and after you ... more

Motorola really are not worth the bother 15/09/2008

User doesn't recommend the product

Advantages The look good
Disadvantages But never work more than 5 minutes

As not being 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 off completley. I took thre phone back to O2 where I had to pay £25 for a loan phone while mine was sent away to be repaired. I got ... more

The future of mobile phones 04/11/2007

User recommends the product

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 in order and great way to show pictures to your friends. USB cable: really easy, it is like a storage device just plug it in, and either transfer ... more
