@sanju
the sound output is very loud. louder than most mp3 player available in market today. even in full volume, there is no distortion in sound. sound is very clean and clear. infact i always hear to music in its full volume.
@nick
what were u trying to install in ur PC. motorola power tools or u were trying to install the USB??
@iliener
i am using this phone for last 20 days. till now no problem with slider. when in closed position, the slider moves slightly to left side, but it is nothing serious. i have kept password for opening my messages and i receive minimum 25 messages every day. so i have to open the slider atleast 40-50 times minimum everyday. till now no problem with the slider.
@khan
whoever told you that Z6 syncs only with MP 10, then please make it sure that u never take advice from that guy. probably he has never used motorola mobiles. firstly, it syncs with MP11 of which CD is given along with our mobile. secondly it is only one of the way to get our songs in to the mobile. one can simply connect the phone as USB and transfer songs. one big plus with this phone is that both phone memory and card memory are shown separate USB devices, which is very unique and handy. We can create as much folder we want and copy songs as we want. the phone automatically detects every song from both phone memory and card memory. also there is no need to manually refresh as is the case with E2. other way includes using MPT software which coms with phone itself. lastly using bluetooth. transferring songs to Z6 is by far the easiest and fastest till now.

i bought my E2 last august from singapore for RS 13500. it is not available here in India. acyually, it was going to be launched, but at the very last stage, its launch was cancelled. infact, it was me who first gave its launch date in mumbai in this very site. i had got the information from one of the moto agent. but god knows, why it was not launched. its current price is below Rs 10000 if u can buy it from singapore. but i would suggest you to go for Z6.personally i am more satisfied with Z6 than i was with my E2. by the way, i am from panvel, mumbai but i work in Malad at mindspace.

Why no hard key control for Music key?
Do u all experience the same problem.
User can only access Music using the Music key on desktop main screen only.

Hi Sijusid,
Thanks for providing such a comprehensive comparison of Z6 and E6. Felt a bit disappointed that the E6 does not have good sound enhancement options, after all it being from the ROKR series. Maybe will wait some time more before making a decision. By the way, is the E2 available here locally? I am from Malad, Mumbai. You mentioned that you have the E2. where did you get it from and what is the most recent price you know of?
Thanks.

This phone is mindblowing,the whole open source linux means that it is super fast,virus free and highly stable. It can be upgraded or modded with ease, When u use the phone it makes u happy! the speed, the flawless environment, the user friendliness i have never experienced it in anything other than a nokia , is challenged by this beauty. The battery aint that great, if Moto could improve on that sector i would rate this phone the most powerful,userfriendly mobile anything below Rs 30,000 (INR) could buy. Simply mindblowing.

Yesterday I've finally received my Z6. When I try to install it to my pc it can't be detected automatically. When I manually select Z6 it gives me "Insert SIM-card in the modem". SIM is installed correctly. What can I do? (maybe important: German phone with Dutch SIM).

cost of Z6 is further reduced by Rs500-600.
@sanju
yes, we can fast forward and rewind videos. the first increment is 30 sec and then on 5 sec.
about the player volume, i think i have already answered this.

@hehe, remove the drivers, then reinstall. If that doesn't work connect to a different USB port. That should fix the issue.
@tanvi, The JUIX (java linux) is more stable & it is customizable. If you don't like the location of things simple put it where you want it. There are very few apps available for the JUIX OS cause it's new. The main thing is stability.
The new Address Book is as advanced as any smart phone & in some ways is more advanced.
All Z6 users visit www.freemod.net forums. The more we learn the better we can make the phone.

@sanju,
all webpages open in one single page and we have to scroll only downwards. sideways scroll is not required. the pages are similar to what we see in desktop, only difference being they are ordered from top to bottom. The web browser is very good. you can open more than one page at a time and toggle between them using #. also the links in one particular page can be opened in different page just like we do in internet explorer, when we want to keep our current page. web pages can be saved. also its contents like pics can be saved. speed depends on the signal strength. the better the signal reception, better will be your browsing experience. but one thing i would like to tell you that, i was able to log in to my yahoo account, but i was not able to login to my rediff account. by the way i am using the free planethutch in which i pay only as much i surf.
@avinash
if your mobiles goes dead without charge, just plug your charger and wait. the mobile will automatically start and will go to airplane mode. just wait for 2 to 3 minutes and press the on button. the mobile should start fine and signal will be there.
@hehe
remove your memory card compltely out from your mobile and plug it again and then restart your mobile. if it still does not detect, try formatting your memory card using your phone itself.
@parag shah
i personally own both E2 and Z6. my brother has E6. my previous phone was E398 which i had modded it with E1 software. so actually i have used all the rokr phones. for me personally Z6 is best, followed by E2. E398 had the best speakers. regarding your dilemma between Z6 and E6, i would say if you want a phone with bigger screen, FM is a must, document viewer is necessary and a visiting card scanner is required go for E6. else you will find everything better in Z6. if you are looking for a music phone, then Z6 is better as the default music quality of E6 is not a match to Z6 specially if you want bass element n your song. through stereo bluetooth the difference again the difference is with the bass. all this si because due to the spatial audio and bas boost working very well in Z6. there are no such settings in E6. E6 only has equalizer but it produces minimal difference in sound. one more thing in favour of E6 is that videos are viewed better because of its bigger screen. in rest all the features, i can say that Z6 is better than E6. be it menu system, operating speed, bluetooth handling, music quality, phonebook, calender, etc etc. also one thing to note is that both Z6 and E6 run on different platform. E6 is EZX based whereas Z6 is linux-java interface. Z6 interface is much better than E6. if you want a soecific comparison between the two, ask me.
regarding the audio converter, there was one guy from banglore who was selling it in ebay india. i had ordered it but sadly just today i got the news from him that the product quality is not good and he is giving me a full refund. now i am going to buy it from international ebay which may take atleast 20 days minimum for me to get it.

Hi Sijusid,
Waiting for the ROKR E2 turned out to be a futile experience. Finally after a long time, the ROKR E6 and Z6 have caught my attention. I am more inclined to buy the E6. Do you have any experience with that? And which would you advise between E6/Z6 with the pros and cons of both? And also did u get the mini USB to 3.5 mm audio converter? What is the item number of that? When u said bazee, did you mean ebay.in? It would be great if you could also email me using the link to this post..
Thanks and regards,
Parag
