Rising to the occasion

Finally upgraded from a Razr, and wanted to stick with Moto for a couple of reasons (mainly because the razr was so good, and I despise samsung). I'm not a text machine, so I didn't need a qwerty board, and I like the idea of a slider, so my choice was between this and the LG Decoy.

The Moto just felt more solid in construction, and looked cooler, while the LG was lighter and had a bigger screen & keypad. I finally went with Moto because of history and price ($49 after rebates). Also, the interface just seemed more intuitive and easy with Moto.

I've lived with this phone for three weeks now, and so far have no complaints. Sound is incredible, it feels solid, and is easy to customize. My only complaints are that it gets smudged up way too easily, and the smaller keypad does take a bit of getting used to. There were a lot of mashed numbers/text at first.

Good phone.

Very good phone

I bought this phone about a month ago, beginning of August and I so far it is a great phone. This is a great phone for someone looking for a stylish standard phone for calling and media (pics, music, etc.).

Pros: Call Quality is great, good signal, nice display, full of useful/needed features but too many, usb port, micro sd slot, nice weight that makes feel sturdy, good battery life, and looks great!

Cons: Smudges with fingerprints easily, no wi-fi but thats not expected of this type of phone.

Advice: As with all phones make sure that you fully charge the phone before first using it to optimize battery for your phones life. Also I liked changing the menu style to "flux" which you can find under display themes in display settings. Also, I recommend turning the screensaver off to save battery as well as changing the brightness of the display from the default 3 to 2. This will help extend battery life! Lastly something basic but you might not realize at first.. to access the camera hold the tv/camera button rather than just pressing it. Well thats my 2 cents. Hope it helps.

Best Phone I've owned (and I've owned a lot)

I Got this Phone to replace a Motorola w755 which was incidentally the worst phone I've ever owned. In my opinion, the z6tv has replaced the e815 as the best Verizon phone ever. Super solid feeling phone which rivals a corded land line phone in sound quality.

PROS: Reception - Best I've seen. Only one in five people to hold a signal in a known "dead zone"

Sound Quality - As stated before it sounds like a home phone

Build - solid like a brick. Should hold up to any abuse

Form - If you like a slider you will love this. Practically slides itself open

Memory Card Placement - MicroSD on top of phone is easily accessible

CONS: Weight - may be a pro for some but feels heavy in pocket

Keypad - Very small, not good for texters or fat fingers

Memory Limitation - Newest firmware limits cards to 2GB - WHY?

Overall an awesome, overlooked phone with second to none sound quality and reception.
