About Real Player:
Well the v3i cant play Real Media but nearly all new motos does (exept low-end ones), they can play format that are even't listed such as .svg that is some kind of metavideo

two other points i found interesting:
"Even more impressive in some ways is that the video capabilities have been further enhanced by the presence of the Sky by Mobile app that has been developed in associated with weComm. Sky by Mobile allows you to access the full Sky Electronic Program Guide and, with one click, record a program on your home Sky+ box. It also allows you to stream Sky TV (25 channels available) directly to your handset via a 3G connection.
The popular multimedia upload application, Shozu, will also be preinstalled in the Z8. Shozu allows users to upload images and video to a number of popular photo and video sharing sites, such as Flickr and YouTube, as well as supporting sending of multimedia to email addresses and remote servers."

Rafe Blandford from AllAboutSymbian just posts a nice review of his use with the RIZR Z8.
http://www.allaboutsymbian.com..._Preview.php
some highlights:
"an alternative colour scheme was seen in the presentation at Symbian’s press conference. It is likely there will be a range of colour combinations released over the lifetime of the phone."
"The Z8 has the potential to be an iconic phone for Motorola, in the vein of the RAZR and its design-led successors. The majority of people will not buy this phone because it is a smartphone, but rather because it looks good. A small number will buy it based on what it can be used for – watching video and programming a home TV. Both sets of people will be able to discover the extensibility of the device and its software platform. It is this potential that holds considerable promise. Moreover, users will be pleasantly surprised by the quality and usability of the user interface, an area where Motorola has traditionally under achieved."
"Video can be played back at up to 30 frames per second and in the demo I saw playback was crisp and smooth. Motorola expect consumers to fit up to 10 feature length films on to a 4GB microSD card. Motorola will be shipping a 512MB microSD memory card with the phone that will include a full movie as a demonstrator of the film playback capabilities."
"The Z8 runs the latest version of UIQ - 3.1, which was announced last week. It is the first UIQ non-touch screen device and the display was nice and bright (and shouldn't suffer too much in sunlight). All the UI interaction is carried out via softkeys. The demo phone I saw showed an extremely slick and speedy interface; given some of the early software problems with Sony Ericsson’s UIQ phones, this was very impressive."
"The Z8 will be available in Europe in late March or early April. Availability will follow in Asia a few weeks later. A USA variant is also likely."

OK, a Symbian Moto... lets see if they can do a good job, because SE and Nokia don't seem to know what to do with it apart from make inherently unstable handsets. Whoever it was AGAIN biggin up the K800i and the N73... please use one of these phones for a couple of months. I'll be the one in the store pointing and laughing when it has to be returned to the manufacturer and you end up with a POS loan phone.
This phone would be great with a newer visual design... the RAZR design is quite old, but the idea of a 'kick slider' is pretty nice... a slider that fits your face in the way that a flip does!

About MP3 Ringtone, i think "GSM Arena" has wrong information. All "Motorola High End and Middle End Mobile" has MP3 Ringtones & multitasking because that's one of other basic feature Motorola. My "Motorola Rizr Z3" can use MP3 to be Ringtone.
If you want "FM Radio" just buy mobile with "FM Radio". FM Radio is not important feature.

do you really believe that a phone in this day and age wouldn't have mp3 ringtones?
gsmarena's pages are created by humans. perhaps those HUMANS made a MISTAKE?

Does Moto Z8 have a big speaker under the keypad? Because the surface there looks like a speaker, doesn't it? Maybe it's a 3D stereo speaker.
By the way, the phone is the best!!! ;)
