Bad Points
MP3 - Terrible (Functionality drives me MAD, MAD, MAD. You have to put all MP3 files in a single folder; try finding a program that still does that)
Calendar - Poor (So un-user friendly)
PC Software - Terrible (So un-user friendly)
Motorola Website - Terrible (had not even heard of the Z8!!!)
Battery Life - Poor (jumps from Full to empty and the 240v - USB plug in charger for some reason is different to any other chargers i.e. blackberry & SPVs dont work with it )
General Comments
The Motorola RIZR Z8 phone drives me mad - it's SO un-user friendly and unstable!!! For instance when you create a calendar entry, instead of displaying "OK" or "Save" it lists only "Cancel" which then gives you the Question 'Do you wish to save?'; followed by the option of "No" "Ok" and "Yes". What are the difference of OK and Yes....you tell me!!! It gets so hot its untrue. It crashes lots. Its menus are more confusing and disastrous than our London mayor!!
If you are used to Motorola phones then try a Nokia or SonyEricsson 100x times better phones; If you are used to Nokia or Sony Ericsson - dont get this phone it will cause you endless frustration!
Conclusion:
Dont buy it
Note to people who designed it - Plan for testing your phones next time!!! And also please look at what other phones and MP3 players do...its called 'testing the market'
