Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I have had this phone for about a week, and have been able to put it through its paces.
Pros: The call voice quality and the picture quality are excellent. The MP3 player is also very good, and pauses when you receive a call. It can hold a 4Gig memory card, which will capture lots of full resolutions photos. The phone has bluetooth and wifi connectivity, and you can browse the web using a wifi connection. The handset itself is very ergonomic, and the test that I found on it shows it to have impressive durability.
(see [...])
The computer switches "modes" quickly, so that if you take the phone out of your pocket and flip open the lens cover, it behaves just like a regular digital camera and you can take a photo right away. Then, when you close the lens cover, it goes back to behaving like a phone.
Cons: The adjusting some of the settings takes a while to figure out, and it took me a while to figure out how to get the browser to use wifi, etc. The video recording mode is essentially useless. I have also found some problems with taking close up photos in low light, since the flash is too bright.

Simply slide the lens cover open to illuminate ModeShift Technology, transforming the full-featured mobile phone into an ultra-fast 5-megapixel camera, complete with auto-focus, low-light optimization, and a bright Xenon flash. When you're done, just slide across the lens cover and ModeShift instantly transforms your camera back to a phone.
The MotoZine is the only mobile phone to have Kodak Imaging Technology that can be instantly combined with Kodak Perfect Touch Technology for brighter, more vivid pictures on the spot which look noticeably better than pictures created without the technology. Auto-focus locks in less than one second and there are no delays when taking one photo to the next. With one touch, you can view all your photos right from the home screen--no menus, no searching. You can take advantage of multiple capture modes, including panorama, which automatically stitches together continuous shots taken on the horizon line into a single, extended image.

This Motorola phone includes the innovative CrystalTalk technology, which automatically accounts for background noise during a call and adjusts the audio quality based on ambient noise conditions to provide the optimal conversational experience. CrystalTalk also reduces the volume of the background noise picked up by the microphone during a call, making it possible to be more easily heard over the phone while in a noisy environment.
