Motorola RIZR Z3 review: Sliding Moto

03 February 2007

Yes, it's true, Motorola have made slider phone with the RAZR looks. Its name is RIZR. The letter-game name still holds true. This is the first Motorola slider for the European and American markets. The Asians are a different story. Considering its big dimensions and the fact that it is a bit overweight one might think that Motorola RIZR slider won't be the most handy and comfortable phone to touch and use. One might be wrong then, the RIZR is extremely nice to touch as it is metal and rubber all around and leaves the greatest impression.

I just recieved my z3 today. I upgraded from the v3i. Planning to get the cingular 8525 but still to expensive. I love the design that is the only reason why i buy motorola phones. I dont really care about specs, just about looks. You just need a phone to make calls anyways right? The phone fits great in your hands, the outside is made of this rubbery stuff that wouldnt slide out of your hands so easy. The weight is not so bad, it gives you more of a comfortable feel holding a heavier phone. Only thing i dislike is the interface is still the same old motorola. Wish speaker was alittle louder. Also wish the memory slot was on the outside of the phone so it would be easy access instead behind the cover. I would give this phone a 8/10.

then how about you go out and buy the phone for a few days before returning it, gsmarena? that should be enough to conduct a review. surely you make enough funds with the 2 billion ads on your website.

Does anyone know what firmware/flex version they tested their Rizr out with? I have a different Music Player than them.

Richard,

If you think for a minute it will be very easy to understand the issue. Motorola just don’t want us to review their phones, they prefer to send samples to magazines, not to web sites. So, if you want a Motorola review on time, go buy a magazine and give us a break.

you're always late to the party on motorola, gsmarena. reviewing this instead of the soon to be released RIZR Z6 with new linux UI or upcoming RIZR Z8 with HSDPA.

always on top of the nokia and SE releases, however.

eg. motorla razr: poor battery life, unreliable, dum fone.
but at least it luks nice right?

and the SLVR L6, screen = ew.
AND the SAR is 1.5? like common nokia's n93 has less SAR rating.
