The latest phone of Motorola is out. Announced in February 2007, the MOTO Rizr Z8’s got style I’ve gotta admit it, the Moto RIZR Z8 is one of a kind. The slider is unique; it opens at an angle that follows the contours of the face. I’ve never a seen a phone with a design like this. I give it 10 on 10 on the slider design.

So Motorola finally decide to get more phones running the Symbian OS. This is something that Nokia’s gotta be careful about. Most people love Nokia for the support of Symbian, so Motorola’s got them on this too. Motorola’s coming out most of its new phones running on LJ platform, i.e. the Linux – Java platform, this is also a break from the traditional Symbian OS on Smartphone’s. So I guess it should not be long before we some really cool applications for the LJ phones.

So what else is new with the Moto RIZR Z8??? The telegraph.co.uk describes that the Moto RIZR Z8 is the perfect phone for film fans on the go. Well I guess so!!! But I still prefer my PSP as the perfect portable entertainment system ;-)

Looking more at the specifications of the Phone,

The Network : It supports HSDPA / GSM 900 / GSM 1800 / GSM 1900,

The Weight : 112 g , Hmmmm … Slightly on the heavier side.

The Display, impressive 240 * 320 and 2.2 inches ( In league with most coming out now)

The Ring Tones : Polyphonic & MP3 ( What about real & wma ??? ) I know of a Symbian application called WMAPlus which is great codec to have on your phone, so proud RIZR Z8 owners, get it ASAP.

Data support : GPRS, EDGE , 3G, USB & Bluetooth. No Wifi though.

Camera : 2 Mega Pixles.


So this is what Motorola’s got to offer in the Z8 along with the usual set of features that most phones offers. The way Motorola’s coming out new and exciting phones, it looks like Nokia is in for one big slide in the market share.
