So, it looks like the
Motorola Z9 slider is going to run $249.99 on a two-year contract after rebates. Our knee-jerk reaction was that it's a bit on the high side, but on closer examination, you notice that the
V9 goes for exactly the same asking price -- and seeing how the Z9 is supposed to be a slider version of the same (right down to the odd color), we guess $249.99 will have to do.

Who's going to buy it?

That is bundled pricing that includes a bluetooth

I thought the $329.99 was the bundled pricing.
Either way, like Wobbly said, neither the Z9 nor V9 are worth those prices.

no, $329.99 is the bundled price.

What happened to the Z8? Now that was an interesting looking slider design. This is just sad.

Once again my knee-jerk reaction is another overpriced Motorola phone.

I would rather have a keyboard for that price, wow!
Jason Peterson @ Mar 21st 2008 4:48PM
True or not, that is not what the price tags look like at my store. And we are a corporate owned store...
In any case, it wouldn't surprise me if the price was that high. Gotta love motorola's price point...

If Moto wants to increase sales, they'll have to allow the carriers to subsidize them to prices a bit more competitive with the rest of them.
The v9 is still freaking expensive. Yeah, it's pretty and feels nice, but not worth the price sold under a 2 year contract.

i can't believe they cancelled the sony ericsson k850i but still released this piece of garbage. "the k850i lost it's window of opportunity", yeah well this lost it before it even came kid.
Dan Parmelee @ Mar 21st 2008 7:53PM
$399 no commitment? This $249 price isn't very heavily subsidized. Odd.

My god, look at those specs. AT&T really needs to get better products on board.
youngcalihottie @ Mar 23rd 2008 5:47AM
wait, why does it deserve the same price? it has one fewer screen.
