Motorola ROKR Z6m

This will be the first Slider-Phone by Motorola to be released for CDMA networks in America. This cool looking phone is, basically, the CDMA version of the Motorola RIZR Z6, popular in T-Mobile. [MORE AFTER PICTURE]



The cell phone is very slim for a slider, and is branded as a "music phone," with many features. For example, this phone supports 2 GB of music, is Stereo Bluetooth Ready, and has EV-DO Capabilities. This phone also takes pictures and records video. The Front Exterior Screen is glossy, which although looks better at times, is prone to fingerprints. The keypad is the same style as the notorious RAZR, raised rubber around the flat pad.

I personally loved the look of the RIZR when it came out, and was mad that Verizon didn't offer it. Now, with a CDMA version, I will most likely be able to get this phone on Verizon. I will admit though, The RIZR just plain looked better. I think that is because when the RIZR slid open, it opened sort of at an angle, more rounded, then straight up, like this ROKR. If you want my honest opinion about Motorola, here it goes. The should carry 3 media phones, that's it. The new RAZR MAXX Ve, the RIZR Z6, and the SLVR. Now, of course, modifying the phone a little to switch over to another provider, like Moto did here, is fine. Like I said, I am happy they did this. Before the specs, however, let me tell you what I don't like about this phone (from first glance):
  1. It opens straight up
    1. Open at a rounded angle, and you've got my money. It just  adds that new level of style.
  2. The front face (black border part) looks dull.
    1. Change the material to a glossy, but fingerprint resisitant glass or plastic, and you've got a winner
  3. That keypad is really starting to get old.
    1. Just replace it with individual keys already! Enough with the rubber dividers!
