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!

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

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.

Motto Rokr throught Alltel

Pros: It is sleek and fashonable.

Cons: I have a defective unit that the text messageing freezes and it does not matter how big or small the message is. They get stuck in the out box and I have to turn my phone off, then back on. Sometimes they will send on their own once I have turned the phone back on, however most of the time I have to manually re-send. The point where I become displeased is with Alltels lack of desire to fix the problem. I have taken it into the store and talked with "tech support" so much that I am just done.

Summary: The messages get stuck in the out box and I have to turn my phone off, then back on.

The point where I become displeased is with Alltels lack of desire to fix the problem. I have taken it into the store and talked with "tech support" so much that I am just done. I have worked for Verizon Wireless and I understand the technical side of phones, so it is really fustrating when I know a phone is defective, but an employee is unmotivated to resolve issues. And yes "RESOLVE" is a Verizon Wireless word not an Alltel word obviously.

problems in the first month

Pros: great features

Cons: a lot of glitches

Summary: We purchased three of these phones one month ago. We are really considering asking to return them and get different ones. So far two of them have "frozen" at the opening screen and are being "fixed" by are provider. Not a good omen that two out of three are in for service in less than one month. I would not recommend

Pros: 2.0 mega pixel camera
Ease of use

Cons: none yet

Summary: I bought this phone after returning a treo and a Moto Q, when I couldnt hear well on either of them or send pictures mobile to mobile. This phone is great, the sound, picture quality and sleekness are all a plus. This phone is also very easy to navigate. I have yet to experience any problems but I did just pick it up a few days ago.

Pros: Loud ring, screen is easily viewable in the sun, big screen, good layout

Cons: Vibrate mode isn't very powerful, the keys are "hard" I think is the word I'm looking for?

Summary: Overall, the phone is very nice. It's sleek, looks professional, has a lot of options and works very well. Seems pretty durable also. I've only had it a couple days, but I am very pleased with my buy.
