Motorola Z8 Snubbed
10:31AM Thu 5 July 2007
One of the summer's biggest mobile launches, and Motorola's hero handset for the year, the Z8, will not be taken on by three of the UK networks at launch.
Orange, T-Mobile and 3 will not be featuring the device in their portfolios on the handset's launch.
An Orange spokesman said: 'The Z8 was one of a number of handsets reviewed by Orange. However, it has not been selected for our final range.'
The device may become available through T-Mobile later in the year as the network is still confirming its range for the second half of 2007. A Motorola spokesman said: 'T-Mobile, like Orange, has not committed at this stage.'

Z8 has a lot more going for it other than video playback.

Thats what I mean. It has a lot going for it.
Maybe Moto just isn't flavour of the month.
ATM it has just 1 phone in the UK top twenty contract sellers and just 4 in the PAYG top twenty. Dark times ahead?

Hi all,
To be honest having now read the 3 part in depth review of this device over @ All About Symbian although it is quite good it really isn't that amazeing or special unless compared to the SE UIQ3 devices. I just can't get over the nasty and cheap plastic styling just not my sort of device the review made for some interesting reading though.
