The just-launched Motorola Z9 is a high end feature phone with a mid-tier price of $149 after rebates on AT&T’s network. It has a compelling one-two punch of stunning good looks and serious features including 3G, GPS, music player, a 2 megapixel camera, Video Share, Cingular Video, stereo Bluetooth and a metal casing. Not bad for a mid-sized slider phone. The Z9 comes in Mahogany, which we’d describe as a metallic warm plum color that’s fairly gender neutral and attractive.
The Moto Z9 runs Motorola’s Synergy OS, as does the RAZR2 V9 (sorry, no Linux here). The UI is easy to learn and navigate and the phone is responsive. The 9 icon main interface covers the address book, music, GPS, AT&T Mall, messaging, the Opera 8 web browser, CV (Cellular Video) and call history. Other applications are nested inside these as more icons or lists of applications including a calendar, alarm clock, world clock, calculator, mobile banking, games, MobiTV (requires a monthly fee), XM Radio (requires a monthly fee) and MusicID (requires a monthly fee).
