“The Motorola Z9 is a large but fashionable slider handset rocking high-speed data and plenty of multimedia options. The keypad is a bit odd, but completely usable, with a very pleasant vibration feedback when you press a button. The music player offers great sound, and the full HTML web browser easily handles your browsing needs. Unfortunately, Motorola does not make it easy to synchronize the Z9 with Microsoft Outlook, so you'll have to either pay for a synchronization program, or just manually enter all of your contacts. Also, AT&T's Mobile Email client doesn't offer Gmail, and you cannot add a custom inbox, so certain email isn't possible. However, as those two issues won't affect most users, the Motorola Z9 receives a 'Highly Recommended' from me if you're looking for a great non-smartphone multimedia and internet experience.”

I love, love, love my new Motorola phone! Looks great and it's made solid. I've dropped it a couple of times and it didn't even get a scratch. The music recognition program is so neat, but there's a monthly fee. Navigation program is great...but there's a monthly fee. I downloaded Google Maps, it...
