Motorola Z9 Review - Conclusion
Editor Rating:   4.54  4 5 5 5 4 Messaging phones are all the rage right now, but some folks would rather have a solid phone without a QWERTY board or all the complexities of a smartphone. Motorola’s Z9 sits atop AT&T’s current range of feature phones, offering just about every service and multimedia option you could want in a handset without delving into slide-out thumbboards and complicated operating systems.
The Z9 is literally a solid performer, combining good voice and data performance with a sturdy, attractive form factor. Though the Z9’s large body bucks the recent trend of slim, light handsets, it also offers a reassuring heft that speaks to durability and longevity. The larger body also affords a more spacious button layout that makes for good ease of use, and a relatively roomy display that’s easy on the eyes. Though I had a few problems with GPS and 3G connectivity, the Z9 generally performed quite well for me, and its voice quality was amongst the best I’ve ever heard on a cell phone. If the big, strong body of the Z9 appeals to you, odds are you’ll be quite pleased with it. It’s a good phone with tons of features made easy to use by a clean menu system and easy to mash buttons. And, hey, big can be beautiful - the Z9’s deep, glossy red finish makes a sleek little number even if it’s not really so little.

Video: Motorola MOTO Z9 - Hands on @ CTIA "08 Motorola Z9 in-depth review - At a Glance Motorola Z9 in-depth review - IntroductionMotorola bucked the “Thin is In” trend with their latest handset, the Z9 slider for AT&T. This full featured device is a big, solid phone with features galore, and while some might be put off by it’s (relatively) large size and heft, I kind of like it. The Z9’s comfortable to hold and use and feels solid, with nary a creak or wobble to be found anywhere on its burgundy body. The Z9 is a 3G phone with access to AT&T’s CV video and Music Store options, as well as...Motorola Z9 in-depth review - Design & FeaturesLike I said, Z9’s kind of a big phone. Measuring up at 114 x 54 x 14 mm and weighing in at 140g, it’s a heck of a lot larger and heavier than other AT&T slider phones like the Sony Ericsson w850, which weighs just 94g, or just about one-third less than the Z9. But I kind of like Z9’s heft. If you don’t mind it taking up a little more room in your pocket or purse, Z9 rewards you with what I like to call a “luxurious heft.” I never felt like this phone was going to...Motorola Z9 in-depth review - Usability & PerformanceThe Z9 is definitely one of the better cell phones I’ve tested when it comes to voice quality. I tested it on AT&T’s network in the San Francisco Bay Area of California, and was really impressed by the clarity of callers’ voices coming through to my end - and got a similar response from the people I was talking to. Chalk it up to MOTO’s Crystal Talk noise reduction technology, which apparently works. Signal strength was above average as compared to other AT&T...Unboxing and hands-on: Motorola Z9 slider for AT&T Motorola MOTO Z9 - Hands on @ CTIA "08 |
