Customer Review: Worst Phone Ever Made!!
Unfortunately I own this POS! I should not have fell into the trap but I did. It randomly shuts off even with a full charge on the battery. It also makes phone calls on its own to people in my phonebook. This thing is possessed. I have complained about it a couple of times and was basically told to deal with it or I could buy a new phone. If I could rate it a zero I would. BEWARE BEFORE YOU BUY.
Customer Review: My last Moto
My last Motorola phone was a Dynatac 8000G, and it worked great for years. A few months ago, I bought a Z6m and now hate not just the phone, but Motorola. (The Z6m is the CDMA variant; I've observed that all sorts of GSM phones regularly cause interference, violating US FCC rules part 15, and therefore unlawful to operate.)
The first thing that infuriated me was the speakerphone. It isn't loud enough to use in a moving car, even when holding it near my head. (Under the same conditions, my old Nokia worked just fine, allowing me to keep both hands on the steering wheel.) The MP3 player can play plenty loud through the same speaker, indicating to me that it's not the fault of the speaker, but an intentional shortcoming designed to sell Motorola's hands-free car kit.
Even while using all the power-saving options, I still can't get a second day's use out of the phone before recharging, and that's with a brand-new battery. My Nokia gave me a week.
The phone supports adding a memory card only up to 2GiB because it uses FAT16 and not FAT32. It would be nice to offer a non-Microsoft file system, if only Motorola could get the disk interface right.
Plug in a USB cable to a computer and it charges the phone, and allows access to the memory (card if installed or main if not) or the modem.
See something you want to take a picture of? Hold down the button and wait. It launches the camera application, so wait some more. The moment is long gone.
I went somewhere with no service and quickly learned that I couldn't even set the clock to the right time.
Want to browse the Web? Forget it.
The designs of many parts of this thing were outsourced and clearly not managed competently.
This is the last Motorola product I buy. I feel ripped off, and hope to soon replace the phone and punch any of its designers in the nose.
