By: Yeah Yeah on Monday, December 22, 2008
From: T-Town, FL (United States)
Experience: 1 Years
Pros: Not many. I mean, the phone never lagged on me at all. It has a great speaker. The 3.5 mm headphone jack is AMAZING! Not many phones have that feature.

Cons: I've had to replace it...twice. The first time, the "Clear" button just quit working on me. It may have been because I got a little bit of sweat on the phone but it was screwing up even before that. There are just too many internal problems. The T9 is also HORRIBLE!!!

Summary: Like I said the pros are VERY good features. However, I have experienced MANY internal problems with this phone. And not only ONE of them, but BOTH, for I have had to replace it under the warrenty. And now I have to replace it AGAIN out of warrenty. First off, the T9 just flat out sucks. It CLAIMS to have "Word Learn" but the phone only memorizes certain things for about 5 minutes and then it loses them. Some of my security features stopped working, also. My contacts are SUPPOSED to be locked. But even though it says they ARE locked, I can just go right to them, w/o putting in my password. And then my screen turned completely white for about 5 hours. It had turned white before, but for only about 10 minutes. So it's time to chunk this thing and get a new one. It's not worth the worry.

Experience: 2 Months
Pros: 2 gigs internal and 1gb msd card, fast scroll, morph enabled keypad, full html browser.

Cons: A little laggy, had phone for 2 months, and for the first month nothing but problems on the txting side had to call in numerous times, texts were going to the other parties but when sent to me took anywhere from 10 hours up to days to get them, tmobile finally sent out a firmware update and that cleared everything up.

Summary: I would give it a 8 out of 10 for styling and ease of use, full of great features.

By: C. Walker on Tuesday, September 30, 2008
From: Charlotte, NC (United States)
Experience: 8 Months
Pros: This phone is just a pearl. I have had it for eights months and I dropped it in a glass of water for a mere second,immediately took out the battery and allowed it to dry for three days. I put it back in and the phone is still ticking. Yes, there are some quirks but nothing that I couldn't live with. Today, the unthinkable happened, the phone won't ring. I can talk on it and even use my bluetooth but it won't ring. I've tried to troubleshoot to no avail so now I have to send it in for anoth

Cons: Display too small.

Summary: As far as phones go this is a winner.

Love this phone

By: Dylan Greer on Thursday, September 04, 2008
From: lakeland, FL (United States)
Experience: 7 Months
Pros: I think it is really fast and the phone reception is really good, but i guess that is based on your carrier. i love the simple lay out. i also like that it is a music player, so i don't have to carry my ipod too. I also love the look of the phone and the slide design, and the 2 megapixel camera is really nice. and most of all it's a motorola, and they are my favorite phone brand.

Cons: Sometimes the phone will just turn off all on it's own, it happens almost every time I get a voicemail. second sometimes my texts don't send and then i have to turn the phone off and then on to get them to send, that happens a lot while i am roaming. sometimes when i use celltop (for alltel users only) and sometimes the app store (when i have low battery) i have to press the end button a million time to exit or i just slid it shut and wait a minute for it to go away. last of all, it is very sens

Summary: I love the phone and all of it's features and design. but there are some glitches, like texts not sending, have to hit the end button a lot to exit some apps, and a very sensitive screen. overall I love the phone and encourage you to get it. BUT DON'T DROP IT!!!

I love the phone

Overall Rating:
4.3 out of 5
By: C Oo on Wednesday, August 06, 2008
From: Michigan, MI (United States)
Experience: 60 Days
Pros: I really like the Motorola Z6M, it has all of the features I like plus the call clarity and handling are both top notch. The MP3 player works well for being a phone (if you want an MP3 player buy a MP3 player). The controls are well laid out. The slide feature is smooth and it seems very sturdy.

Cons: Not much bad I can say about it. I am on my second one now in less than 2 months, but not to the fault of the phone. I damaged my other one canoeing. The 1 2 3 buttons are hard for my fat thumb to find right up near the slide, but this is minor to me. No real gripes from me. I am a Motorola fan, always have been. Oh, one thing that I do not like is the fact that it only supports 2 GB microSD cards, 4 would be much better.

Summary: Good phone, works well, needs to be able to handle 4GB cards.

AH-MAZING PHONE

Overall Rating:
4.3 out of 5
By: bleeor redu on Thursday, June 26, 2008
From: miami, FL (United States)
Experience: 2 Years
Pros: Touchscreen

Cons: Bulky

Summary: The phone is an amazing device. Its touchscreen and if you want you can hack it and put the iphone theme, for all you iphone fans. The only bad thin is that they should of made the screen much bigger. Its a bit bulky and the touchscreen sort of gets on your nerves sometimes. But since the keypad is small, thats why it comes with the touchscreen stick which is very small at the point so that allows you to write comfortably, unless you want to use your hands. Bottom line, its a great phone.

Horrible Phone!

Overall Rating:
2.7 out of 5
By: Kelly J on Thursday, June 12, 2008
From: Valdosta, GA (United States)
Experience: 5 Months
Pros: Slide feature and it takes really good pictures for a cell phone.

Cons: Turns off in the middle of a call, freezes constantly, and MAJOR display problems. Many times I will press a key to check the time and the display will be upside down, black, distorted, and/or completely gone (white).

Summary: I purchased this phone in Jan. '08 and by Feb. I was having so many problems with it that I took it back and Alltel gave me a brand new one. The new one continued to have the same problems as my first one, just not as often. I will slide the phone up and it will shut off or show a black screen with the Motorola icon. Sometimes I can shut it off and turn it back on and it will be fine. Other times I have to take the battery out before it will work again. Last night the display completely quit working. When I tried to use it the display was white and absolutely nothing shows up. I've turned it off and on to see if it would work but it didn't. I can make calls on it but I can't see anything!!! I'm going to Alltel today to see about getting a replacement or it repaired. If they give me another one it will be my THIRD phone and I've only had this type of phone since Jan. (5 months)!!!!

Not so good

Overall Rating:
2.6 out of 5
By: Gary Tippie on Friday, March 28, 2008
From: Lighthouse Point, South Florida (United States)
Experience: 35 Days
Pros: The phone is very easy to use, and has all the features I want except a qwerty keyboard.

Cons: I have had the phone about 1 month. The alarm will go off sometimes when set, and sometimes while going off it cannot be shut off unless I turn the phone off. When sending an outgoing message, the phone will freeze up sometimes, and I have to press end call repeatedly to get back to the home screen. The battery life is not good either. Two days ago, I tried to answer a call with the green "call" button, but the phone went to silent and would not answer the call. The reception is very inferior to

Summary: I like the slide feature, but the phone has let me down. It has the features I want, as I have the Oakley OROKR sunglasses that Motorola did the audio for. Sometimes the phone will connect correctly with the sunglasses, sometimes not. I was happy with the phone until about 2 weeks ago, when I started having little irritating problems as mentioned before.Also, it should have a decent memory capacity, but with only 2 songs stored on the phone, it says I cannot store any more songs on the phone. I do however have a memory card, so I can put music on it. I am going to give the phone one more try with a new replacement, but if the next one has the same problems, I am finished with ANY Motorola phone.

Motto Rokr throught Alltel

4.3 out of 5
By: Christy Lindsey on Friday, February 08, 2008
From: Wilmington, NC (United States)
Experience: 60 Days
Pros: It is sleek and fashonable.

Cons: I have a defective unit that the text messageing freezes and it does not matter how big or small the message is. They get stuck in the out box and I have to turn my phone off, then back on. Sometimes they will send on their own once I have turned the phone back on, however most of the time I have to manually re-send. The point where I become displeased is with Alltels lack of desire to fix the problem. I have taken it into the store and talked with "tech support" so much that I am just done.

Summary: The messages get stuck in the out box and I have to turn my phone off, then back on. Sometimes they will send on their own once I have turned the phone back on, however most of the time I have to manually re-send. The point where I become displeased is with Alltels lack of desire to fix the problem. I have taken it into the store and talked with "tech support" so much that I am just done. I have worked for Verizon Wireless and I understand the technical side of phones, so it is really fustrating when I know a phone is defective, but an employee is unmotivated to resolve issues. And yes "RESOLVE" is a Verizon Wireless word not an Alltel word obviously.

problems in the first month

Pros: great features

Cons: a lot of glitches

Summary: We purchased three of these phones one month ago. We are really considering asking to return them and get different ones. So far two of them have "frozen" at the opening screen and are being "fixed" by are provider. Not a good omen that two out of three are in for service in less than one month. I would not recommend
