The fm radio feature is not for poor people, it's for people that don't like to listen to the same old music in their playlists, want to discover new music, or simply like talk shows and news. I own the motorola e815 and it has a special headset that has an fm radio in it great phone

Did anyone actually use the phone? I'm interested in a user's opion of the Z9. This seems more like a political debate.

LOL! At the mindless f00l who say FM Radio is for poor countries and people who can't affor to buy music. LOL ive got a N81 and have around 200 mp3s on it, i buy Music from i-Tunes and NOKIA Music Store, also buy CDs from the shop but i still listen to radio for specific News, Guests and when im feeling bored of TV, PC and my music il listen to FM Radio, where i am its VERY reliable,and good quality.

To the likely American who wrote " Fm radio is for poor countries where they cannot afford to buy music"...I now work in HK which you might consider as 3rd world, (but if you've ever been to Dubai, US would look like 3rd world as well) I listen to radio using my Moto E2 over 95% of the time, even though my 2GB is "packed" with music.

No I don't rely radio for music much. Rather, radio often provides me first hand information which may take me 2~3 times more to get through 3.5G network, which sorry for many Americans still haven't experienced.

I lived in US before, and over 20 years ago I was stranded on I-80 for almost 6 hours...namely because not a single radio station (which only cared about music but no news!) reported the flood and the serious traffic delays it caused.

Yes, Z9 is designed for Americans (again how many can really used HSDPA?), though that doesn't mean the phone cannot incorporate a radio which can be found on a W270, which I just got one for my father-in-law for US$90.

And Moto would be in much worse shape if it doesn't export any of its stuff by only selling to the US market. Yes, US market is big but compare to the global market, it may only be 1/3.

This phone is targeted for the USA market. Americans don't care for FM radio or camera. More pixels is not better with crappy lens anyways. Fm radio is for poor countries where they cannot afford to buy music.

This is not an April Fools joke. The phone is exclusive to AT&T check their site.

It has a 2.0mp It says so on the back of the phone.

"Z9 uses Synergy OS(P2K05).The interface seems like V9.And it would be faster than Linux OS."


Wrong, Linux runs circles around Synergy.

Z9 uses Synergy OS(P2K05).The interface seems like V9.And it would be faster than Linux OS.Why U guys always complaining 'bout camera?I think if U have 5 megapixel camera but with bad quality,is it worth it?I think V3x with 2 megapixel camera is better than N73 with 3,2 megapixel.Moto just have to improve video recording quality.The camera quality seems perfect now.

If you go to AT&T's website, this phone is reported as having a 1.3 MP camera.

So who's right? GSMArena, or AT&T?

IMO, putting a 1.3 MP camera would be incredibly foolish of Motorola, especially after making nearly all phones with 2 MP cams.
