[JedixJarf]

Nice. Very BB-ish

[poetic_folly]

Sexy sexy. Thats a good review right there, way to plug the Guiness too. ;)

Nice wallpaper.

[Dumba]

Thanks for the information cash. Indeed a very nice and interresting phone. Is there an aproximate price for it yet? ( Like the Guinness Pint)

[cash7c3]

the price of the guinness pint is a couple bucks

[Gyngabread Man]

hey this is the first review i see you do but you did niceit was a bit BB-ish but hey i like all the info and am now wanting it alot more than i did b4... one last thing i couldent help but notice but were those some of my cellphones in the background there i saw my dead 551

[Ruud]

[SuperJoker]

[poetic_folly]

We know (http://www.modmymoto.com/ctia2007/z8.php).

[rapid06]

definately my next phone! :thumbsup:

[gizhaper135]

Been waiting for it forever, my next phone. Love the metallic finish. I think its way better than the Z8, I don't like the neon green on the Z8.

[buddy501692]

dam that fone looks cool........now i got to save up the $$$

[Kaze]

yea in terms of features i'd have to go with the z8 but the color combinations on the z8 is just wrong..

[br3nn4n]

haha Before even reading any of the other posts I was thinking very Bengalish :P

BengalBoy: "This is BengalBoy comin atcha.."
cash7c3: "Cash here with the new..."

Same southern accent and all :D

Nice lookin phone, liking that linux OS

[poetic_folly]

Ha, its a guy with a phone showing it on video... if that's "bengal-ish", then funny. No-one will be able to ever video review a phone with originality again! :D

[BengalBoy]

Great ReView!!! Looks like you are enjoying the Z6 and Linux OS there Cash. As for being "Bengalish", haha, I think you sound much more intelligent and knowledgeable than my "HillBilly Ass".... Enjoy the Guiness and the Z6!!:thumbsup:

[cash7c3]

I enjoy the Z6 almost as much as I enjoy guinness, and that's saying something.

[fisherjo]

those features i remember in my Symbian Phones (Nokia 3660 and 6600) .... i still swear they were before their time, nice phone tho. Good Review... whats the chances of copying the whole system to a Z3? hehe, nokia modding days coming back to mind.

[SmartedPanda]

How'd you get the phone? Bengal boy?

[poetic_folly]

A magician never reveals his secrets... neither does Cody. ;)

[nightfall]

How'd you get the phone? Bengal boy?

i believe he told me he mugged some old ladies purse and she had it but im not really sure :bunny:

[cash7c3]

she was hot.

[nightfall]

she was hot.

:doh: you shouldn't have mugged her.. should've hooked up

[cash7c3]

i never said i mugged her

[nightfall]

i never said i mugged her

:doh: ...well getting back on topic i can't wait for the Z6 to come out

[cash7c3]

it is a nice evolution for moto

[nightfall]

it is a nice evolution for moto

have you managed to mod anything on it?

[cash7c3]

hah no. could get telnet connected but unable to break p/w security bah. production f/w will be much like the E2 i'd imagine

[SmartedPanda]

haha When cash hacks it, the earth as we know it will be pwned =) (in the good way)

[megadeath999]

I wonder, if you got the media player of the Z6 and flashed it to the Z3 would that mean the Z3 could support WMA files?

[cash7c3]

hah. no. the operating systems are nothing alike and not interchangable

[megadeath999]

D'oh lol i wish my z3 read my wma's... anyway the z6 looks like a nice phone, motorola are on a roll!

[blingtedd]

ive heard the z6 is symbian 60, is this true?

[cash7c3]

no

[trinity32]

nice review cash! mind if i can save your review video on my v6? and show it to my friends! you sound cool in your video man!

[cash7c3]

sure save it send it around have fun :)

[Gyngabread Man]

thats where my next comission. check is going this one is going to a baptism for my son and a trip to rosarito maybe a 8525 i can get it for like 150 out the door :) woo commission its my moto spending fund

[megadeath999]

ive heard the z6 is symbian 60, is this true?

Z6 will be Linux, the Z8 will have Symbian

[cutecow]

dont know if its me or symbian, but all the symbian phones i held, nokia 6260, 7610, 6680 or even se m600i, all gave me problems from lagginess to crashing within months..

[hillie]

Hey cash,

can you tell me, did you notice any menu speed issues?

like the v3xx menu speed is extremely responsive even when scrolling items up/down.. my rizr z3 is a bit sluggish when you reach the top/bottom of the displayed menu items and keep scrolling.

[Ammon117]

can Z6 be modded?

[megadeath999]

lets hope so!

[Skv012a]

Hows the life when playing various media, standby, camera and games and so forth? Can you compare it to Z3?

[cash7c3]

faster, better organization in the linux os

[Skv012a]

What about camera clarity? Given they changed the soft for it, it should be a mile better than say Z3's.

[cash7c3]

yeah the camera performs better with the new OS

[Skv012a]

Man, this makes my choices alot harder. Keep Z3, sell Z3 and buy Z6, Z8, or L9.

Say cash, how long does yours live? Music life is very disappointing, at least on the pre-pro model. Know if E6 stands taller than Z6 is this department or are all linux phones pretty much doomed as media players?

[hillie]

Man, this makes my choices alot harder. Keep Z3, sell Z3 and buy Z6, Z8, or L9.

well it's not really a hard choice until the Z6 comes out.

I dunno about the L9, but the Z8 is kinda fugly and not as good as the Z6 from what I can tell, and it's more expensive.

so yea I mean the hardest thing is waiting for it, but I dunno if I could give up the two cameras on my V6 maxx.

[Skv012a]

Well, I got a Z6, but it doesn't put out nearly as well as I thought it would. So its either still below production specs or Z6 as a model simply wasn't meant to be a music phone.

[naxchua]

eh... anyone managed to mod this phone yet? i getting it tomorrow... :)

[Archer]

I dont think modding its possible yet with it.

Skv012a (http://www.modmymoto.com/forums/member.php?u=69536), could you give us a lil review? :D

[visitkoman]
