User reviews

  Poor design, worse construction, 2008-11-17
This poorly designed phone has several nooks and crannies that collect unremovable dirt and grime, and its shoddy construction requires frequent applications of superglue to keep the buttons from falling off. The camera quality is much lower than similarly advertised competitors (in fact I've never seen worse images from a 2MP camera). Do not purchase.

  Great for teenagers!, 2008-10-09
I bought this phone for my daughter's birthday and she loves it. She loves the camera and the fact that she can store her own music. She can also share music among her friends.

  The Right Price for an Unlocked Version, 2008-10-09
This Motorola RIZR Z3 is indeed NOT as the photos depict it. The keypad includes not only the English alphabet, but also Chinese characters. I uploaded a few customer images of the phone that I received. I also received a UK-style power cord along with a US adapter. This makes no difference to me as I charge the phone by plugging it into my computer via USB. As someone that travels a lot, I thought it was nice to get the free universal power adapter.

The addition of Chinese character doesn't make a difference to me. If they weren't there the English letters couldn't be any bigger anyway. I think having the keys is more of a bonus than a detractor.

Regarding other reviews claiming "some menus are in Chinese and can't be changed", this only applies the Games that come loaded on the phone. In fact the phone I received was all in English from the first power-on (other than said games). The games are not a permanent part of the phone, they're just preloaded. You can easily delete them entirely from the phone, and since you can plug this phone into your computer via USB or use Bluetooth, you can load games of any other language by downloading them and then sending them to your phone.

This phone replaced a SLVR L9 (also unlocked) that I had only shortly before I lost it. I use an AT&T GoPhone plan, whose SIM cards work perfectly in these phones. While traveling abroad I lost the SLVR, but fortunately had removed the SIM card. After receiving this phone I popped in my old SIM card and things worked just like my old phone.

This phone is also handy to have while traveling. It supports both EDGE and G3 networks; using Bluetooth I can tether with my MacBook Pro and use as modem anywhere I get cell phone service (make sure your plan has unlimited data though). It can also sync address books and calendars through Bluetooth. Even though the RIZR isn't officially supported by Apple's iSync program, you can use the additional iSync plugins package provided by Nova Media ([...]) and iSync will work fine.

All in all, this has been a great phone. If it hadn't been for my GoPhone plan and use unlocked phones, I really would've been devastated by the loss of my SLVR. But with the intercompatibility of unlocked phones, switching over was a breeze.

I also had a great experience with HassleFreeCell, they were quite responsive and helpful when I accidentally used my physical address instead of my PO Box (USPS does not have local service where I live). I contacted them via Amazon and they immediately sent out the phone again to the PO Box, no additional charge. Thanks guys!

  Avoid if at all possible, 2008-09-24
This phone is decent looking but that's about as far as the positives go. This is by far the most expensive phone I've ever purchased and it turned out to be the least sturdy. After no more than 2 months the glue on the buttons began to wear off and the circular navigation in the middle of the phone came off. The glue spread and stuck to other parts of the phone and will not come off.

The speaker phone will work about 50% of the time, other times the vibration mode won't work or if I have the ringer set to "Loud" it will still function as if on "Silent".

I contacted both the company I bought the product from (not Amazon by the way) and Motorola and neither would claim responsibility and offer any form of resolution. I had to reglue the pieces back on myself (twice now) and am dealing with the in and out efficiency of the ringer and speaker.

EDIT: Since all of this the phone has continued to malfunction. The camera aspect ceases to work AT ALL. And occasionally the screen will become completely pixelated and unviewable until I turn the phone on and off.

DO NOT BUY THIS PHONE ... there are better looking and funcitioning phones similarly priced.

  Nice phone but no warranty, INTERNATIONAL VERSION, 2008-09-02
Haven't had a chance to really use the phone yet however it is brand new and appears to work; I did also confirm that it's unlocked by using a friend's SIM card. However note that what I received was not a US product with a US warranty. This was actually the International version from Hong Kong which was shipped with a big bulky charger and a US adapter. The keys are in English and also have Chinese letters and the games that are installed are in Chinese. I went thru the menus to make sure that they were in English and they are. The games are really no big deal for me, I wouldn't play them anyways and the keypad still has English lettering. I would recommened that if not listed in the description, that you email the seller first on any unlocked phone to verify if you're a getting a US product with a warranty if that's what you want. As for the phone, I can't review it too much as I haven't had time to really use it but it's definitely a good looking phone and it has 3 features I was looking for: Quadband, Bluetooth, and USB.
