Can an MP3 of 320kbps be loaded and played on this phone? The manual says 256kbps max but I am hoping that the manual is not correct -- much of my collection is at 320kbps and I don't want a music phone that can't handle it. I see that the MOTOROKR E8 can handle 320kbps, but it's missing some features compared to the Z9.

The Best sound Quality talking ever had on a cell pnone !and I've had them all. No more dropped calls either . I was getting dropped all the time . As far as the other features who cares ?? this phone sounds like a landline and that's the most important thing.If someone ever asks the question which phone has the best sound THIS IS IT !!!

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.

This is not an AT&T exclusive mobile phone, right here in Venezuela Movistar is offering it...

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 0RPpI 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.
