Review: Motorola Z9

Sorry, I should have started a new thread!


Hi:

Just went down to the AT&T store and held one of these (the Z9). All was well until I asked the salesperson to demonstrate voice dial. He could not get it to work and went to the counter to consult the Motorola Web Site. He came back with a blank look and noted Motorola did not include this feature on either the Z9 or the V9. This is a deal killer for me, but I still can't believe that a phone of this complexitivity is lacking this feature. Can anybody dispute this finding?

I did review the Z9's owner's manual on the Motorola site and it seems to imply that a headset must be used in order to use VD. Again, as I don't want to go around looking like Mr. Spock, this seems to be a de...

How do i get my Moto Z9 to vibrate when I slide it to close it?!?!

The screen on my Z9 has been going yellow and
a message code SMS_ _ (missed the number)appears where the battery indicator is in the
corner. The phone has been dropped but always appears to work normally. This first appeared while trying to use the phone in the direct sun .Can anyone tell me what is causing this ?
Bad SIM card, battery ?

Thanks for any help.

Looking for some help. On the fence between the Z9 and Nokia 6650 Fold.

I am tied to blackberry/Outlook tandem for work and would like an easy way to transfer contacts from blackberry/Outlook to the phone. I am pretty sure the the nokia 6650 fold will synch with outlook but am doubtful the z9 has the functionality.

Any suggestions? Either a direct synch or work-around?

Hey on my old Razr I could hit one button and snooze and another and turn off the alarm WITHOUT disabling it. Meaning I didn't have to go back to my alarm menu and re-enable it, so if I get up at the same time everyday I can just turn it off and it's ready for the next day. Can't figure out how/if this is possible on the Z9. Anybody know??

I'm really having a hard time deciding between the Z9 Slide and the RAZR2 V9. Currently I have an L2 and it's pretty basic but it works. I've never had a slide or a flip. Background noise is really a problem with my current phone.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Does anyone know how to adjust the volume on the Z9? Hard to hear other party when there is much outside noise.

Thanks!!

was just wondering if the z6 has a video light like the z6 rokr that stays on while recording video in dark places. thanks!

So after resolving the great voice dial debate (thanks to all who responded), I did pick up one of these phones. Generally, I'm pleased, and, the better I learn the phone, the more I'm beginning to prefer it to my old Samsung.

Now, another question - this time network. I like to use the Opera Mini browser (it loaded fine and works well for the record), but I note that whenever I try to pull up a new web page (even after being on a site (say scrolling through CNN news stories), I get questioned, "Use Data Network" - again, EVERY time I attempt to pull up a new page. The only option that allows me to continue is, "Yes, always ask". So next time, I get the same question. Does anybody know how to program a, "Yes, don't ask again" respons...

Is this a good phone or should i avoid it? I really like sliders and wanna give this one a shot. any reasons to get or not to get would help, thanks.

Anyone have a problem with their phone telling them the "Check SIM" for no apparent good reason? I've had my phone for 2 weeks and have gotten the error at least a half dozen times.

I'll just be sitting around and all of a sudden my phone will beep at me and display "Check SIM". A power cycle of the phone seems to fix the issue. What a hassle.

In the review the reviewer said that he downloaded google maps but it wouldn't work with the Z9. Does anyone know of a work around? I am not going to pay AT&T ten bucks a month for something a may only use once a month.

Does anyone know if this phone is intrinsically safe?

Hi:

Does AT&T offer GPS? I didn't see it on any of their packages offered on Amazon. If so, does anyone know how much it costs?

Thanks!

I guess you could call it a deal breaker..

I saw in a video that the top of the phone has two notches I suppose like the V9 for a belt clip..But does anyone know if that definately the case?
I really need the plastic belt clip (not a case) and have been lucky with the v3xx but would like an upgrade.

Thanks
