Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Reinventing the slider phone, the Motorola RIZR Z8 brings multimedia, speed, pleasure and mobile broadband to your fingertips. Providing you with the ultimate in entertainment, the Motorola RIZR Z8 allows you to watch crystal clear video at 30 frames per second via a large QVGA display with 16 million colors. It also features Motorola's first ever "kick slider," a graceful mechanism that achieves a "fit-to-face" profile by gliding open in a curve to match the contour of your face. You'll enjoy high-speed 3G (UMTS/HSDPA 2100) internet access for fast connectivity to multimedia and downloadable games and applications. This lightweight smartphone also features the Symbian 9.2 series operating system with series 60 software version 3.1, MicroSD memory card expansion, 2-megapixel camera, and Bluetooth with stereo music streaming. This package also comes with Motorola's S9 Bluetooth Stereo headphones. Nicely comfortable, they offer easy-to-access controls on the side of each earbud.

The RIZR Z8 allows you to enjoy your multimedia content while on the go with crystal clear video and high fidelity sound.

This unlocked cell phone can be used with a GSM network service provider and it provides quad-band connectivity (850 MHz, 900 MHz, 1800 MHz, 1900 MHz). It does not come with a SIM card, and it requires that you provide a SIM card for usage with your selected service provider.

When paired with a compatible 3G network that uses WCDMA 2100 MHz connectivity (found in Europe and Asia), you'll enjoy a variety of feature-rich wireless services with speeds up to 384 Kbps--from data connectivity to your office to multimedia streaming, and take advantage of simultaneous voice and data services. In the United States and foreign territories where 2100 MHz 3G networks are not available, you'll continue to receive data service via EDGE network (depending on network compatibility).

Phone Features
The black and fluorescent green case has a face that slides open with a kick and curves the phone closer to your ears and mouth. The 2.2-inch screen has a resolution of 240 x 320 pixels and an amazing color depth of 16 million colors. The face offers a five-way navigation pad, send/end keys, and two soft keys, and the numeric keypad is revealed when you slide the face up.

Whether you're lunching with friends, heading to the gym or working on the go, the RIZR Z8 puts broadband in your pocket via HSDPA and EDGE technology. At the flick of a button, experience the power of high-speed connectivity for two-way video calling at up to 30 frames per second, fast access to your email, Internet browsing and blazing-fast and over the air (OTA) music and video downloads of the latest entertainment and news.

The unique kick slider design of the RIZR Z8 gracefully slides open and matches the contour of your face.

Bursting with multimedia capabilities, this do-it-all handset includes a powerful 2.0 megapixel camera with dedicated shutter button for one-click photo and video capture, integrated lumi LED light and even red-eye reduction. With a hot swappable MicroSD card with up to 4 GB of optional memory, you can quickly access files. Equipped with an integrated music player, the RIZR Z8 allows you to create playlists, add creativity to your music with on-screen visualizations and easily skip to the next groove with shuffle capability.

This review is from: Motorola RIZR Z8 Unlocked Phone with 2 MP Camera, 3G, MP3/Video Player, and MicroSD Slot--International Version with No Warranty (Black) (Wireless Phone Accessory)

I cann't write a review for this phone. The reason is that they shipped only the accessories and not the phone.
