LEAKYMOTO: say hi to the MOTORIZR Z8

by Ryan Block posted Jan 23rd 2007 at 3:29PM

Sorry we don't yet have any hard info on this thing, but you know what a front-facing camera means, right? Say hi to the 3G MOTORIZR (or RIZR, if you will), the Z8.

Does this sport the new Motorola UI?

Does 3G mean Cingular will support it?

Another asinine "slider" phone. When will this desperate, inept attempt to be different go away?

Motorola should spend less time dicking around with failed dead-end designs and more time FIXING ITS PATHETIC OS and ergonomics.

What are you talking about, I have a motorola phone that has the menu button on the side.

I would guess that the menu on the side is because this runs a different, non-motorola, OS. I would guess that it runs symbian based on the non-bounded soft-keys and the before mentioned menu button.

I thought Moto was going to do away with the stupid 4 line menu button?

A front facing camera, if I read the blurb right, means *video phone* you whining bunch of "the button shouldn't be there" llamas.

Hopefully the 3GSM announcements have proved that this is not a fake.

It runs the UIQ platform based upon Symbian OS - and it is extremely slick. Trying to play with one at the show was damn nigh impossible because of the interest.

I like touch-screen phones, but I want one of these!
