To learn how to hate Mototola is to own a RIZR Z8 and the try get support and software for the beast. Motorola will not last in the cell phone business unless the really shape up.

      Or else, does certainly almighty company's top-of-the-line N76 looks and feels expensive with paint coming off in months and price tag about 2~3 times more expensive than Zn200?

        Moto makes "phones" with camera.

        Some others make "camera" (though never be as good as Canon or Nikon) with phone ability.

          I came to this posting to find out if I could find any "helpful" reviews to help me make a decision to purchase the new VA76R or not.
          There was nothing here I found helpful except banter.thanks

The lens, the sensors, and the processing software are the top contributors to a good quality photo. Don't get fooled by mainstream media.

                      Moto is in a little bit of a funk tho. The last one I tried is the ZN200 and the phone looks and feel cheap. Sliding mechanism is rocky and the finish seems cheap. I am going to test out the A810 next which looks like a downgrade to the Ming series in the looks department.

                      What on earth happened to the VE75? After the E8 and ZN5 seems to be alot of duds. VE66 looks ok but still is missing in action.

                        Seriously, the MOTOSurf looks great and should feel great and only more upmarket phones like the xperia, omnia and iphone should match the build quality but those are much more expensive phones.

Do you people even have a Motorola phone? If you do, maybe you're just abusing it. I've had lots of Moto phones through the years and the battery was decent even when using speakers at full volume, playing a game and browsing the Internet. Also, My N95 8GB has a very weak battery too. Turn on the 3G,browse the Internet,Play a game,turn it up at full volume and what do you know. After using those, after 15 minutes,battery empty. I always care for my batteries. You people are just.

Every time Motorola makes feature-rich phones, it overlooks the fashion department all the more. Higher-end phones tend to lose style as opposed to beautiful phones which tend to lose features.

                                    We need a balanced phone that not only looks good but also performs well.

Or maybe the W233 for my grandma. The features aren't that bad either. What bugs me the most is why people keep looking at the megapixel! It isn't always that! Hey, just buy a digital camera! I have a 3.2 megapixel camera that shoots better pictures than my five megapixel N95.

                                        jjsoviet - I keep saying the day someone puts out a false report on an upcoming motorola but calls it a "SE" or "Nokia" the comments will look a whole lot different.

                                        That being said I do not like these phones. Motorola used to be the king of sexy and they have lost it. When I think of sexy phones I think of LG and Samsung (not SE or Nokia). Relied too heavily on the damn RAZR. Hire me for minimum wage Moto and we can get this thing back on track ;)
