I had this phone for a year but have now upgraded, my son is now using it and he LOVES it. I found it a bit bulky but mine never froze and the screen resolution was amazing. The battery life was adequate and the sound quality really good for playing music without headphones.

This phone is nice when it's brand new. However, the only major problem I see after one week of use is: there is a long delay in showing display from standby mode. it took 4 seconds to show screen. can anyone tell me why it is like that? it will be ok after i did a master reset, then after one week of usage, it starts to delay all over again.

I have had this phone for almost a year now. The first 2 months i had it, i thought it was the best phone ever as could watch films and football hightlights on it, but after that, it was a different story... Random reseting, reseting when saving a contact, freezing, unable to call some numbers..... The Z8 has proved to be the most frustrating i have ever bought, and would not recommend it to anyone! Not sure if it is Motorola or just this phone... But do not buy it!! Trust me.

Ok right now I have the Motorola SLVR L9 its a really bad phone. But I was wondering on this the Z8 does it text as slow as the L9? And do I have to call T-Mobile to turn on my web setting or will this phone do it like the Z6?

I was going to buy this, until I read a whole heap of complaints. Since I just snapped my V3x in two, that phone was stupid too, until I got the keypad replaced and new firmware then it was the best phone ever, never turned off never got the white screen again. But I don't wanna risk it again, since it did take a while to fix it all. Stuff you moto sell your designs to sony or nokia, I like the looks they kick ass.

i was very unsatisfied with this particular device. there are better phones by motorola out there, the razr series for instance.

> In reply to [deleted post]Just got one, being on "clearance" for about USD300 here in HK, where everywhere else is still selling for around USD$383. Yes, my phone is from a chain phone shop with official warranty as "brand new".

Though I'm always too dump for any Smartphone, as I can't even make much customization on my Z8 at this moment.
