Form Basics Extras Video Wrap Up Comments 68

Menus Calls / Contacts Messaging

The Z6 will be Moto's first phone in the US with an entirely new contact application. It features a number of improvements. A single contact entry now correctly houses and displays multiple numbers, email addresses and other information such as street addresses, websites and birthdays. In the list view, you can scroll left or right on a selected contact to cycle through various numbers and emails, like on Windows Mobile Smartphones.

The list view also introduces a new annoyance. It only displays the first 10 or so characters of a person's name and displays even fewer letters for people with longer names to make room for ellipses (...) indicating there's more. Longer names do not scroll to display the entire entry when hovering over them in list view. This means that if you have more than one contact named Michael or Michelle or Christine that you will have to guess which one you are on by scrolling through the numbers and email addresses.

All call functions work as expected. In calls the left soft key activates the speakerphone.
