Is It Your Type? Body Three S's

No, that's not a RIZR Z3. We take a good, long look at Moto's first Linux-Java phone for the US - with Video Tour.

Is a new operating system a big enough change to give a phone a new name, and a new model number? Motorola sprinkled some Linux on the RIZR Z3 and magically it becomes a ROKR Z6. Is it worthy of the ROKR moniker?

Speed

The reason the OS is so snappy and the Java benchmark performance may have something to do with the fact that the Z6 has a 612MHz processor. The outside may look like a Z3, but the inside is souped up from hardware to software.

so, is the Z6m that's coming to Sprint definitely not Java/Linux?

I'm getting a little fed up of sprint JUNK phones.
problem is, it's just SO cheap to have powervision.
i'm up to renew my contract in sept.
are there any Java/Linux motorola's (or anything else good) coming out for sprint ?

Eventually they will get the Linux-Java OS on 3G and CDMA EVDO phones. Software is just not ready yet. I'll guess by early next year.
