Pros: This phone is just a pearl. I have had it for eights months and I dropped it in a glass of water for a mere second,immediately took out the battery and allowed it to dry for three days. I put it back in and the phone is still ticking. Yes, there are some quirks but nothing that I couldn't live with. Today, the unthinkable happened, the phone won't ring. I can talk on it and even use my bluetooth but it won't ring. I've tried to troubleshoot to no avail so now I have to send it in for anoth

Cons: Display too small.

Summary: As far as phones go this is a winner.

Pros: I think it is really fast and the phone reception is really good, but i guess that is based on your carrier. i love the simple lay out. i also like that it is a music player, so i don't have to carry my ipod too. I also love the look of the phone and the slide design, and the 2 megapixel camera is really nice. and most of all it's a motorola, and they are my favorite phone brand.

Cons: Sometimes the phone will just turn off all on it's own, it happens almost every time I get a voicemail. second sometimes my texts don't send and then i have to turn the phone off and then on to get them to send, that happens a lot while i am roaming. sometimes when i use celltop (for alltel users only) and sometimes the app store (when i have low battery) i have to press the end button a million time to exit or i just slid it shut and wait a minute for it to go away. last of all, it is very sens

Summary: I love the phone and all of it's features and design. but there are some glitches, like texts not sending, have to hit the end button a lot to exit some apps, and a very sensitive screen. overall I love the phone and encourage you to get it. BUT DON'T DROP IT!!!

I love the phone

Pros: I really like the Motorola Z6M, it has all of the features I like plus the call clarity and handling are both top notch. The MP3 player works well for being a phone (if you want an MP3 player buy a MP3 player). The controls are well laid out. The slide feature is smooth and it seems very sturdy.

Cons: Not much bad I can say about it. I am on my second one now in less than 2 months, but not to the fault of the phone. I damaged my other one canoeing. The 1 2 3 buttons are hard for my fat thumb to find right up near the slide, but this is minor to me. No real gripes from me. I am a Motorola fan, always have been. Oh, one thing that I do not like is the fact that it only supports 2 GB microSD cards, 4 would be much better.

Summary: Good phone, works well, needs to be able to handle 4GB cards.

Horrible Phone!

By: Kelly J on Thursday, June 12, 2008
From: Valdosta, GA (United States)
Experience: 5 Months
Pros: Slide feature and it takes really good pictures for a cell phone.

Cons: Turns off in the middle of a call, freezes constantly, and MAJOR display problems. Many times I will press a key to check the time and the display will be upside down, black, distorted, and/or completely gone (white).

Summary: I purchased this phone in Jan. '08 and by Feb. I was having so many problems with it that I took it back and Alltel gave me a brand new one. The new one continued to have the same problems as my first one, just not as often. I will slide the phone up and it will shut off or show a black screen with the Motorola icon. Sometimes I can shut it off and turn it back on and it will be fine. Other times I have to take the battery out before it will work again. Last night the display completely quit working. When I tried to use it the display was white and absolutely nothing shows up. I've turned it off and on to see if it would work but it didn't. I can make calls on it but I can't see anything!!! I'm going to Alltel today to see about getting a replacement or it repaired. If they give me another one it will be my THIRD phone and I've only had this type of phone since Jan. (5 months)!!!!

Not so good

From: Lighthouse Point, South Florida (United States)
Experience: 35 Days
Pros: The phone is very easy to use, and has all the features I want except a qwerty keyboard.

Cons: I have had the phone about 1 month. The alarm will go off sometimes when set, and sometimes while going off it cannot be shut off unless I turn the phone off. When sending an outgoing message, the phone will freeze up sometimes, and I have to press end call repeatedly to get back to the home screen. The battery life is not good either. Two days ago, I tried to answer a call with the green "call" button, but the phone went to silent and would not answer the call. The reception is very inferior to

Summary: I like the slide feature, but the phone has let me down. It has the features I want, as I have the Oakley OROKR sunglasses that Motorola did the audio for. Sometimes the phone will connect correctly with the sunglasses, sometimes not. I was happy with the phone until about 2 weeks ago, when I started having little irritating problems as mentioned before.Also, it should have a decent memory capacity, but with only 2 songs stored on the phone, it says I cannot store any more songs on the phone. I do however have a memory card, so I can put music on it. I am going to give the phone one more try with a new replacement, but if the next one has the same problems, I am finished with ANY Motorola phone.

    The first ever flip BlackBerry is a winner, so long as you play to its strengths.  While the 8220 is very large for a modern day flip phone, it's lightweight and slick looking enough to trick you into thinking it's a little smaller than it really is.  I've had the 8220 for just under a week now, and I very quickly grew used to carrying it around in my pocket.  No, it's not as thin as a RAZR or as small as a low-end sliderphone,...
