It is one of the best cell phone I have had so far and here are the pros and cons for it. Pros: The best about this phone is it has great reception that it picks up pretty good signals even if you were at country side (tested with other cell phones that I have used); Talking phone (the cell phone will say the name of the caller when someone call you instead of traditional ringtone); It also give you the options of car mode and air mode for traveling ease; Celluar Video, or CV (able to watch CNN, ABC, ESPN on the cell phone with just monthly unlimited web usage, which cost $15 for ATT and the streamline videos are pretty smooth, with just one or two buffers from time to time); GPS (which will cost $9.99 / month with ATT for used of it and ATT is running 30days free trial for you to try it out); 2mp of digital camera, with flash light; external MicroSD card storage; the best of all, you can do your Mobile Banking with compatible banks, such as Wachovia. There are a lot more cool features that are pre-installed on your cell phone and they do cost $ after few days of free trail, such as MusicID, which will provide you with the name of the song after you have your cell phone listen to the music, pretty cool!! Cons: bulky cell phone that probably is not suitable for someone with small hands and it is heavy as well; Due to the size of the cell phone, most likely you have to have 2 hands (even with my big hands) to call someone, one to hold the phone and the other hand to dial; The alarm o'clock does not give your the option of repeating itself every weekday, weekend, or everyday; The battery life is short as it runs out of battery within 3 hrs of talk time or 1hr of GPS time, so I bought a extra batter to spare, howver, the standby time is not bad at all. Overall, the pros far outbeat the cons! It is a great cell phone with great reception and data-related features, such as Celluar Video, MediaNet, and Messaging (Built in AIM, MSN live, and Yahoo Messenger). I will highly recommend it!Read full review
The Motorola Z9 is the best in the RAZR family to date in my opinion (well, the Motorola V9 is equally as nice). The software on the Z9 is a huge improvement to that of its predecessors like the RAZR V3xx and the original RAZR V3 (much less glitchy). Battery life on the Z9 is relatively poor, though (and unfortunately they don't make an extended life battery). And if you decide to use the GPS to any extent, you can expect the battery to drain VERY fast. Other than having to charge it every day, it's a great, solidly constructed phone. The only other annoyance I have with this phone is the cover for the USB charging port which is attached to the phone by one tiny, flimsy piece of plastic. (At least the V3xx used two tiny, flimsy pieces of plastic.) It would be nice to NOT have to worry about breaking off the cover to the USB port.Read full review
This specific phone is lovely, and I love it very much. I have used this Motorola Z9 phone for over (8) years. However, this is the first time, I have experience bad service from the battery life. The phone memory card used in this phone can not keep up with today's forwarded information that is shared, but the operation and simplicity of this phone for a Seniors like me, is a welcome experience. AT&T Staff should in the future, make a serious effort to produce phones that are more Senior Friendly. I have tried the new updated phone models, and while in the sun, they are unreadable.

My new Moto Z9 slider is awesome! I really can't say enough about how pleased I am with the Z9. I live in a backwoods rural area and the reception is great, in the home or on the road. I did not want a PDA, a service provider contract or a required service plan, although I can upgrade with this phone if I choose, great functions and G3. I do travel into the city (down off the MNT) and have never had a dropped call. I do not drive talking on my cell phone in hand. I will use an earpiece or will pull off the road. My favorite thing about the phone is the size and speaker phone. I can sit at work or drive and use the speaker phone and I love it. I do not have to hold the phone or use the slider. I don't usually have a need to use the slider and can use most all functions with the phone closed. I also love that music was easy to download and I can sit at work and listen to tunes, still all with the phone closed. My husband needs a new phone. I purchased him one but it was to small for him. I love this phone (Moto rocks) I think we should have matching phones, what say you? YES! and BTW our daughter lives in the city, metro area, works for my service provider and has a work afforded PDA, has terrible reception and dropped calls all the time... well go figure *W*Read full review
I received my Moto Z9 from AT&T, this phone has all the features you would expect from a non-PDA phone but I find it clumsy and too big to carry. I know that it has GPS, but I do expect to use that feature unless I suddenly find myself lost in the woods - and knowing AT&T; I probably wouldn't get signal there anyway. I recently upraded from a Sony/Ericcson W580i which was wonderful. I was primarily looking for call clarity to reduce dropped calls and to reduce noise. I was told by the techs at AT&T that the network in my area (Sacramento, CA) suffers from severe bandwidth issues due to them losing 1/2 of all their towers when their lease expired with T-Mobile in Feb of 2008, and further degraded in June of 2008 when millions of iPhones attached to their 3G network. Despite the clams by Motorola about their crystal clear technology, I found the reception and clarity of the Z9 no better than my Sony. The bluetooth feature seemed to link very good with my Plantronics 521, and I was able to hear the call as good as talking on the headset. It has a very good range too. The camera has all the same problems of any camera phone, and the pictures are OK. There is a built in video light next to the camera that would be more helpful as a flash. And you cannot turn the camera shutter noise off. On the plus side, I would imagine that you could use the video light as an emergency flashlight. The user tools such as Calendar are not as good as expected. I Purchased the Motorols Phone tools v. 5.0 software and it took me nearly two hours to install and my computer had trouble connecting with the phone. It successfully synced about 95% of my Outlook calendar and appointment data, but errored on some appointments due to a "fields not supported" error. Even worse it did not tell me which appointments it couldn't sync, making my phone calendar unreliable as I still need to check Outlook everyday for appointment data. Overall I'd give it a C-, for the size and cost it would make sense to buy an iPhone or Blackberry.Read full review
