Okay - day 5 with this mobile for me. - Still love it.
lets get some things straight - when comments are added they are 'oppinion' not fact and we dont need to have a cyber fight about which phone is best.
I love my Z10 - Camera is awesome, very quick and image quality is good and flash is good. video is very good - the editing software on the phone is brilliant - very easy to use and loads of effects including adding a title/text/colours and add your own narration/tracks. you can then upload to utube staright away. - lets be honest video is the way forward.
Battery leaves a little to be desired (last about a day under heavy usage) but then it is a multimedia phone so is power hungry.
I prefer it to my n95. dont get me wrong n95 is an excellent phone but the z10 just has that special something. looks quality, slide is excellent and the phone does turn heads. in the 5 days i have had this phone 4 total strangers have asked me what phone it is and where i got it.
Excellent phone and a real head turner if you want to be different and stand out from the crowd.

ok for you two
n81 is targeted for a larger audience, while z10 is targeted for a smaller one
that because of pricing and looks. z10 looks AWESOME. you can read the review on mobile review or judge yourself by watching some pics!
n81 has loads of features but doesn't even compare in looks with z10!
so z10 = for men and women who would like a superb looking phone with a very fast camera and nice features
n81 = if you want a multimedia phone( mus8c, videos, photos, ngage games, etc)
i will but this phone as soon as it hits my market(romania:D)

OH YES! We will see sales stats soon, i remember someone said that about Z8 and it was a major crash in terms of sales, although i don't think sales say anything about a product expect for that most people like, i mean the V3 sold A LOT but it wasn't a great device.
Im not saying the Z10 is crap, the Z10 is a great device, but someone had asked which is better in terms of specs, and the N81 outweighd the Z10 in that, so don't get all mad, and you just came and started complaining.
So im sorry on part that it had to happen.
Now back to Z10. . . G UNIT hows it going?

guys calm down who really cares. The N81 and the Z10 are great phones. I have the N81 and my twin has the Z10 and they are different. Stop comparing apples to oranges honestly.

keep your war to yourselves we are not interested in knowing which is better n81 or z10..

ucwl
1st of all the CPU in N81 is faster. Z10= TI OMAP 300MHZ, N81= Freescale i.mx31 369MHZ.
2nd why use 3G When Wi-Fi is faster, more reliable, yes its the 21century people use their phones to browse the net now Wake up! From i know the Z10 is Symbian UIQ and uses the Opera8.65 browser which i have installed on my N81 and found that the Safari Browser of Nokia is far ahead, maybe thats why i use it, maybe if i had the Z10 id be stuck with Opera8.65 and have to use my PC LOL!
3rd the Music chip in N81 is made by TOSHIBA NOT MOTOROLA.
4th how much RAM does a Z10 have on boot up? Like 30mb? Thats what i read at M-R, The N81 has 45.6MB on boot up.
5th yes bigger screen= Better Web Browsing exp ,better to watch video, better for texting etc. . .
Ive got a Home theatre but can you carry around a home theatre where ever you go? NO!
Lol build quality is great, yes when i press a button theres a tap sound LIKE ANY OTHER NORMAL PAD LOL! Its not a loud tap.
Slider is fine like i said its tite even when open.
Does Z10 have WRT and FL3?
I think you should be the one changing your facts cause ive had to do quite a bit of correcting of yours.
Sorry folks. Lol the N81 aint ugly, looks very different from what you see in pics, and it aint heavy, but maybe your the type who is used to carrying tiny V3 type featureless phones, don't worry i understand.

N81 has:
Bigger screen ----BIG SCREEN AND BIG PHONE AND VERY VERY HEAVY InDEED
Faster CPU ---CORRECT YOU FACTS Z10 isnt any less
Wi-Fi---yes it lacks wifi but so what..better alternatives like 3g are available if you are a despo that wants to surf over the PHONE..!!
More RAM aka MORE MULTITASKING like a PROPER MULTIMEDIA DEVICE.
----AGAIN CHECK YOUR FACTS Z10 is better...look about its technical aspects at some other websites.
More Applications available for its OS (S60) whereas Z10 (UIQ) still lacks developers.
---- NO PROBLEM I M HAPPY WITH IT
ATLEAST WE GET THE OPTION TO EXIT THE MUSIC PLAYER WITHOuT INSTALLING THE PLAYER KILLER.
N81 also has 3D dual speakers plus Dolby surround coming soon. Thats a real Multimedia Symbian,
DONT YOU HAVE A SOUND SYSTEM OR WHAT TO LISTEN SONGS LOUD..?? AND ON THE HEADPHONEs Z10 KILLZ N81 give it a try ....
PLUS
N81 also is getting FL3 and WRT for full YouTube support and other full flashsites
Also has a better Web browser..
----AGAIN MOTOROLA HAS IT ALREADY youtube support and all......
Better Gallery..----WHOS THE JUDGE ?? you.??
i dont think so....N81 is miles away from the video and picture galery features by the z10..editing uploading and what not...
Better Music Player----LOL NO comments
A sound chip to give better audio
----YEAH AND THE MOTO FORGOT TO PUT THE SOUND CHIP IN.!! WHICH ITSELF IS CREaED BY MOTO AND NOKIA PAY MOTO TO USE IT...!!
And NO the slider is actualy pretty good, very tight, stable, and great spring.
----SLIDE IT UP AND TRY TO MOVE IT IT WOBBLES
tap on a few buttons while slider is open and HEAR THE ANNOYING TAPPING SOUND....RIGHT.!!!
ANd lastly......dont just look at the better camera for z10------just look at the speed and xenon flash.......
and my apologies too to the rest of readers
but i just thought it would be unfair to comapre this phone to an ugly N 81...
sory again all of you..

jk - serious mate at the mo i havent seen an unlocked one cheaper than 400 quid.
o2 told me it was led flash but i have got the phone and it is xenon. very good too.
The camera is very good.
As stated mine came with 'bourne' movies on a 1gb card. (yes all three full movies!) the quality of the movies is excllent. i had transformers and spiderman on my n95 and the quality was no where near the same.
Sound is good - not as loud as n95 or n81 but doesnt distort at full volume and is loud enough for me.
i got the rokr s9 bluetooth headphones which are excellent sound quality is excellent and bluetooth so no wires.
pc software is excellent and very easy to use.
at the end of the day it is a top phone and all my pals that have seen it have all said 'wow' when the have seen it. it looks very expensive and everyone has said how quality it feels.
jk if you are looking for the phone search in google.co.uk for 'sim free' moto z10
cheers

G UNIT, it's seriously that expensive? you stated in one comment that moto confirmed it's led flash but in a more recent comment you stated it's xenon. which is it?
also, nobody is selling it on ebay yet. hopefully somebody will be selling them soon. want to pick one up but not too sure i'll pay more than 500usd.

1st of all the N81 doesn't have Touchsensetive buttons just a touchsensetive navi-wheel which can be turned off and used as a normal directional pad.
2nd of all besides the camera what else does Z10 have over N81? NOTHING!
N81 has:
Bigger screen
Faster CPU
Wi-Fi
More RAM aka MORE MULTITASKING like a PROPER MULTIMEDIA DEVICE.
More Applications available for its OS (S60) whereas Z10 (UIQ) still lacks developers.
N81 also has 3D dual speakers plus Dolby surround coming soon. Thats a real Multimedia Symbian, PLUS
N81 also is getting FL3 and WRT for full YouTube support and other full flashsites
Also has a better Web browser
Better Gallery
Better Music Player
A sound chip to give better audio
And NO the slider is actualy pretty good, very tight, stable, and great spring.
I apologize to the rest of the forum readers and Z10 owners just had point that out to this last poster, otherwise i'd like Z10 as my spear phone so i am a bit impressed by it.

Well her goes fellas -
this phone is a real thing of beauty and doesnt dissapoint in any way. it looks amazing and unlike my old n95 it actually feels quality - the kick slide is smooth and sturdy and the casing is metal not cheapy plastic.
xenon flash and the camera is very very quick
keypad is nice and smooth and texting is no problem and the phone offers quick response
I got the phone o2 uk on a free upgrade and £35 12 mnth contract. with o2 there is a sd card pre loaded with the 'bourne' trilogy of movies. video is excellent and so easy to cut/edit and add music and graphics to footage. easy to upload staright to youtube/shozu etc.
before this i had a n95 and for me this phone is miles better - it looks amazing and you can feel the quality. so what its only 3.5mpx the video makes up for it and lets face it - video is the future.
very very nice phone 10/10
