jv, 03 Nov 2008I'm planning to buy a phone this christmas, but I am unsure... moreGet the Z8 if you:

1)Absolutely fall in love with its outer design (though if so, you probably won't consider the V6)

2)You buy a phone for incoming / outgoing calls only. Nothing more, nothing less.

Otherwise, in terms of functions (even for simple things like customizing the home screen / navigation keys, wallpaper setting, etc...), a Z8 cannot even match the good old Z3/Z6.

V6 beats the x out of Z8 in all other areas except the "unique" design.

Z8 is probably the most disappointing top-of-the-line device made by the company in recent years.

The above comment comes from a Motofan who has used over 40 Moto phones in the past 14 years...

Or else, suggest you read through all the comments regarding Z8 here, or elsewhere.

                  johndru, 16 Oct 2008could have been better if the symbian they used is s60 and ... moreI think most people would be happier if Moto takes out the "smart" OS (which as you mentioned, easily outsmart most of us), and simply make Z8 an upgraded version of Z3/Z6, this phone can sell more with less complaints.

                  Where I live now Z8 is being sold for about USD$240 (no contract and unlocked), though I still do "not" recommend anyone to get this phone, unless they will use the phone for "dial in and out" only.

                  I think my father-in-law can play MP3 on his W270 better than my Z8, especailly in terms of user friendliness.

                        could have been better if the symbian they used is s60 and not uiq. moto is still not eating their pride. still wants to be different. lolz.

                        to change tracks, go to your playlist (default or if you created new) then press "options" and you'll find "play" there. it will change tracks. but very illogical and so complicated. i guess motorola outsmarted us in buying this deceiving phone! it's true that looks can be deceiving! lolz.

                        i hate MOTO for FOOLING US die-hard fans! we're supporting you all the way and is this what we deserve? well i guess MOTO deserves to be the next Siemens! you're going down moto! it's gonna be a hard one! ouch!

                            Hi guys, just curious, how much ram does your Z8 have?

                            To check, go to Control Panel->Device->Device information

This phone simply has too many problems! These are words from a die-hard Moto fan who has used over 40 Moto phones in the past 14 years, including a Z8!

                                Terrible phone. Navigation key scratches up easily, buttons are hard to press, camera freezes, slow reaction to commands... and now the phone randomly reboots every now and then without me doing anything.

                                    Well, I think it's great, but I've got a problem with installing a game. It starts to install but then it says "Program is closed" or something like this. I don't understand it...

                                        Does anyone know how to find the zoom using the camera and not the camcorder. I could only find the zoom on the camcorder.
