You will come to find that Motorola has no chance with any other manufacturer. I would not be suprised if they were out of business by 2015.

Moto Z9 - Great phone. I have AT&T service, and Motorola phones seem to be made for AT&T. Superior build quality, crystal clear signal. Replaced Moto V3xx, which is also a great phone, in fact the 2 Motorola phones are the first cell phones I've ever owned that I REALLY liked. Only downside on Z9, is the keypad is replaced with small metal buttons, but I can live with that.

I have had three motorolas and they were horrific! a V190, k1 KRZR, and a Z6 RIZR.

Moto is much too expensive for the feature set that you get. They have very poor build quality, plus they will all have issue beyond anything you can control. Us american's cant make cars and we really can't make phones.

It is definately worth sending my money to another country that is capable of making an amazing phone like SonyE. Samsung LG or Nokia.

A little extra money goes along way with other manufacturers.

Purchased a 4GB card for this phone, downloaded a 400MB TV show, tried to watch, got to the 1 and a half minute mark of a 59 minute show, and the phone read: "Not enough memory for application."

Wuzzup wit dat? I purchased a 4 GB chip for a REASON, Motorolla! This phone was rated #5 on CNET's "Best Cell Phones" catagory!

I guess "Best Cell Phone" doesn't mean "Working Video on a Cell Phone", right?

SHAME on putting video on a cell phone that can't handle it, Motorolla! If only you had "done the right thing" and kept video capability off the Moto Z9, I WOULDN'T HAVE HAD ANY EXPECTATIONS THAT IT WOULD WORK!!!

> In reply to kickback999 @ 2008-07-02 17:12 from 0RPp - click to readI want a good camera phone for one simple reason. I dont want to carry a camera everywhere I go but enjoy taking pictures. Therefor, I have an SE K850i 5 mega pix camera phone. And when SE comes out with there 8 mega pix camera phone I will own it. I personaly used the Z9 and found it lacks good functions that my SE has. Motorola makes strong revolutionary phones but lack good functions like camera and user interface to name a couple. I have givin motorola several chances but they always disapoint. Hopefully there new 5 mega pix camera will bring finally make me a beleiver. Thanx, eddie

Fully agreed with kickback999 on the camera. I've used the 2.0Mp to take pictures and email them to my clients. Pictures are definitely not bad at all.

Personally I think the camera is perfect for what its intended for.

Hence if you like any particular brands or models of say Nokia or Sony Ericcson for example, go ahead and help others on their questions on your preferred models at their particular website. Most of the people visiting this website are interested to know more about this phone or providing feedbacks (constructively) or they are already users looking for somebody to help them on questions with regards to functions or features of this phone model.

So please help us to understand what is your purpose(s) of your comment here? Are you saying this so that people will stop buying Motorola phones? Are you happier if people stop buying Motorola phones?

Look friend, I do believe in favouratizm, means there are people who prefer different brands or models, therefore most brands will still sell on their own - depending on quantity. So if you like certain brands or models, kindly channel your energy to help those in need instead of wasting your energy here.

Hans,

I share your confusion too years ago whether which phone to choose. I found out that since there are 3 design types available, I now know that I'm more suited to use either a slide or candy bar design. I'll explain why.

Candy bar Design
Easy, one hand operation, view screen without having to flip open (as clamshell design). Very well suited for people who use to carry things around like bags, documents or equipment during work.

Clamshell Design
Fashionable design, many designs require 2 hands to operate eventhough it can be one hand operated, (some will say) but it'll definitely last longer if operate with 2 hands putting less pressure on the hinge. Imagine when your hands are full of things while a call comes ringing.

Slide Design
Similar to Candy bar design but project more elegants in design. Can definitely be operated with one hand. Keeping a slide phone in a tight pocket with frequent bending/straightening positions could put the sliding mechanizm under stress due to multiple angle pressures.

So if you are like a friend of mine, working as a car mechanic, candy bar design is the preferred design as he kneels, stands, lying down while working. He could answer calls by looking and press the button with one hand too. Even better, if he has a bluetooth headset with ear hook and sets his call answering to auto answer after a few rings. I guess by now you'll see what I'm trying to say.

I would suggest you determine which type of phone design you want or suits you, then look at what features you want in that phone. My personal opinion, if you do not require 3G, don't go a 3G phone as it consumes more battery than non 3G phone.

So Z9 or U9, you'll need to decide for yourself base on your own requirement.

Good luck Hans.
