I checked out the Z8 during CeBIT, and in my opiniton, this was the most interesting new model from Motorola. I found it quite good actually.

Bad thing Motorola used the non-standard UIQ 3.1 non-touchscreen interface. i wonder if there will be applications for this only non-TS UIQ phone. if they could only continue the A-series utilize UIQ touchscreen then it'll be better for software support and people could have their choice aside from the great SE.
but i agree that was the only interesting mobile phone from he motorola nowadays(at least for me). |

I'm not one to be attracted to Motorola mobiles but this one has to be the most attractive phone I've seen from them. I hope there UIQ is as nice as the outside and not just skin deep...
Well IMHO it's nicer than a Chocolate. |

Pls NOTE: S60 platform apps can be easily converted over to UIQ3.1. Motorola was very smart to strip out the modular components of this new UIQ OS while enabling others that is supported by UIQ3.0 but never used on the P990/M600. This new non-touchscreen interface will enable MORE developers and quicker time-to-market apps.
Use your imagination, stop the hating just because its Motorola. Just remember Moto used UIQ HEAVILY and kept it quite alive when SE was still on the P800 & P900/10.

@Prom1
I don't hate it because it's a Motorola, I hate it because it is black and fluorescent Green Plastic and IMO looks cheap and nasty. I do believe it is actually a great device both hardware and software wise with truly great abilities. Possibly the most advanced of all the UIQ3 devices so far.
As i have said i will reserve final judgement until i see it in the flesh but just doubt I'm going to like it, i really just don't get how they can make other devices from choice materials and one of their flagship devices from Plastic.
I am also looking forward to seeing the full on Q9 with HSDPA when it eventually arrives even though that is a WM6 device.

Marc,
I totally agree about the lake of choice plastics. I can only dream of what this Z8 would look like if they give it the treatment of the Z6 or even the new Razr2!
However, I cannot ignore the 30fps of qvga recording & playback along with a shipping movie & a2dp stereo headset! Too much value to ignore. However It must have EDGE on quadband, and varying sites from Motorola are conflicting. Motorola DID say that they've invested too much in this handset for it to be a one off!
The Moto q9 is supposed to also offer 30fps playback.
