Motorola RIZR Z3 review: Sliding Moto

Motorola RIZR Z3 review: Sliding Moto - read the full textYes, 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.

Maybe you use media player from games&apps. try to play them from sound menu (multimedia\sound). I have try it and it can play continously without keep the display on. But you have to create playlist first to play your mp3 only. Otherwise they'll play your ringtones, messages tones and all kind of sound.

I have had the Motorola RIZR Z3 for about 6 months it is ok until last week the razed button came off I went to t-moble to see what i could do?? well the said they would send me a new one well the new phone did't work so i went to my store and the check it out taking out my sims card and all told me a place here in town to replace the button for me. after they put it back togetter it showed that the battery was dead so i charged it up!! when i check to see if it was charged up my phone was really HOT!!!! So I went back to the store to see if they have had any one with this problem they said no and gave me a battery but after they put it in to the phone the saleperson said that my phone was really hot and call the service line for T-moble service to ask them about this. Let me know if anyone has had this happen to them I think that the phone could harm someone or start a fire it was so hot they are sending me a new phone but if this is happening i don't want this phone

I have never been much in favour of online shopping. The idea that the ancient physical delight of strolling the marketplace or bazaar and taking in its sights and smells might one day be replaced by clicking and dragging from a desktop is one I have always found more repugnant than convenient. But that was before I found out aboutWhat is Etsy? If you ask its founder, 27 year old Brooklyn based Rob Kalin, Etsy is "a childhood word from a Fellini movie" that he chose because "it embodies the curiosity of imagination" (the naughty Kalin has also playfully told the press that Etsy comes...http://bestnews-4u.com/

Does anyonw else have the problem of their phone "freezing" when trying to use it? I've had mine for three weeks, and sometimes it freezes when I slide it open to use. Too expensive for this to happen.

a Complete set, except one thing, it's got NO FM-Radio, nor do they provide you with any sort of Handsfree or memory card! u hav to purchase them yrself! (atleast in market i am in) Otherwise, a great decent, easy to use slider fone, with very nice SKIN-like finish and nice camera quality aswell! Sliders' are usually not long life, but lets hope Moto made this 1st slider of their's right!

the rizr is bad. it looks cool. when i take a pic there is a long delay before the shutter clicks. the screen even pauses, then takes the picture. this usually results in a blurry photo. you have to hole the camera really still for a few seconds while taking pics and it is really annoying. the second thing that I am very mad about is that the MP3 player is horrible. firstly, the sound is extremely washed out and low in volume. it actually sounds better from the speakerphone then from headphones. second, the MP3 player keeps the screen on the whole time you are using it. WTF? im sure if I used it for an MP3 player, which i was planning on, the battery would be dead very quickly. MOTOROLA, PLEASE WRITE A FIRMWARE UPDATE FOR THE PHONE, PLEASE PLEASE!!! I did update it one time and it did not resolve any of these issues.

Well I was lucky to use a Z3 for couple of weeks to test the unit. It's really a cool product and I felt like I should have one with me too. It is stylish and the 2 Mega Pixel camera is really performing well. I took the same picture with couple of other phones which are Nokia, Samsung, and Sony Ericsson whcih comes with 2 Mega Pixel camera. Download it to my pc via Bluetooth and open it with Acdsee. Believe me Z3 gives a real clear picture and it is really lovely. Unfortunately I cannot upload those pictures so that you all can see the reality behind these products. Its really worhty for the price you are paying.

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.
