Good Points

The features: 3G, Video Calls, Movie Playback, Camera and MP3 player were good.


Bad Points

The battery life is pretty bad; yes, you can listen to music and watch movies, but once you have listened to a full album (14 tracks at an average volume) you may find that you only have 2 bars left of battery. You will find that if you charge overnight, and you use the phone generally: send an average of 30 texts in a day, or make a few phone calls, change a few settings, by about 4-5pm you will be getting one bar of charge left. Nowhere near the "Up to 16 DAYS" of standby time that Motorola have mentioned on their official site.


General Comments

Good features, stylish design, nice little touches but let down by the poor battery life. The RIZR Z8 is a good phone, but Motorola, release a better battery please?

    You say it's nowhere near 16 days standby time. Standby time is when the phone is on but not in use, so ofcourse you're not getting 16 days out of it.

    And if you've had a motorola before you'd be used to the fact that they all have poor batteries.
