Motorola Z9 Review - Introduction
Editor Rating:
  4.54  4 5 5 5 4
Motorola 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 mobiTV’s streaming “TV” service. You also get XM radio access and AT&T Navigator location based services on the Z9, along with an onboard media player and 2MP camera with flash and video capture mode. Is the Z9 for you? That all depends on how you feel about “big” phones. It’s not like the Z9 isn’t pocketable, but it’s definitely a little larger and heavier than those skinny plastic sliders that are all the rage these days. All about

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...Motorola Z9 in-depth review - ConclusionMessaging 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,...Unboxing and hands-on: Motorola Z9 slider for AT&T Motorola MOTO Z9 - Hands on @ CTIA "08 |
