Total disappointed

I found a BIG BUG for this phone.

I setup a Gmail account to receive email use IMAP with SSL connection, once the Gmail account is setup and can receive email, please DO NOT power off the phone.

The problem is, after you power off the phone, the phone will DEAD LOOP on the power on procedure when you power on the phone again.

I take this SHIT to the CS of Motorola and try for 2 more Z8, same case happened and the CS dont know how to solve the problem. I am still waiting for their reply!!

Really disappointed with Motorola for the matter. How come they do not test all the basic feature of the phone???

I have this phone for a week, and I can say it is a very good phone concerning the battery and multimedia factor.
A lot of people dis some phones because the 2mp camera or less, and say why didn't they put more pixel, but what the hell do you need more when 2mp are more than enough to make express photos (that's the only reason tohave a camera on your phone), if you want to be a photographer than by yourself a professional camera.
And these 2mp on this phone make a really good photos even the flashlight is good in night conditions.
But the thing that I like the most on this phone is his quality casing. Motorola really did a good job by using quality materials for this gadget.
Another thing that I would like to mention, is the media player.
I read on this site the review on Z8 and they mentioned that the player didn't want to play files with H.264 codec. That bothered me also at first, because I had the same problem, but then I found out when I was converting the files by myself than when I set the video size on 320x240 it plays the file with no problem, and when you set it on 30 frames/sec the phones media player play is it very good, and it looks amazing.
So to make a conclusion, this phone for more than a average user is a good choice, but for those freaks I'm not sure.
