Motorola Rizr Z8

Basics

The RIZR Z8 is a UIQ 3 “kick-slider” 3G phone based on Symbian OS. This means that it is a slider-type phone but with a hinge allowing it to bend so as to conform better to the user’s face while in use as a handset.

The phone features a 2 megapixel camera, a 16 million color QVGA display, Bluetooth 2.0 with A2DP, a 3.6 Mbit/s HSDPA connection, an EDGE class 10 connection, and 90 megabytes of internal memory. The internal memory is expandable to 32 gigabytes using High Capacity microSDHC (TransFlash) cards.

Release

United Kingdom

In the UK, the RIZR Z8 was available exclusively on Vodafone for the first few weeks of its launch; O2 began offering the phone later; Currently Orange UK is testing the handset in preparation for the Christmas rush of new handsets, they claim if successful it will be available late November. Additionally, both Motorola direct and resellers offer a SIM-free, unlocked version of the phone for use on other networks. All versions of the RIZR Z8 released in the United Kingdom come with a free microSD card containing a copy of the motion picture The Bourne Identity.

United States, Canada, and Australia

Motorola did not release the phone in the USA, Canada, or Australia, but it did register the phone with the US FCC, thereby approving it for use in the USA. As a result, many American specialty phone stores carry the phone, and Americans, Canadians, and Australians can order unlocked versions of the Z8 from a variety of websites, including both Motorola’s UK website and eBay. An unlocked Z8 purchased outside the USA, Canada, or Australia can be used on any GSM network in those countries simply by inserting the user’s SIM card. Z8s with foreign SIM cards also are capable of roaming on any those countries’ GSM networks.
