Here are a few Moto Z8 news snippets. Stuart Clark let us know about the launch of a new Z8 focused website Moto Smartphones. The Z8 is now becoming more widely available; it is available on O2 in the UK for free on select contracts. SIM free phones are expected to reach retail in August. Finally Yahoo Go is also now available for the Z8.

Moto Smartphone (www.motosmartphones.com) aims to provide a number of useful feature for Z8 users:

From the press release:

The website includes, among other items, a news section, a frequently asked questions section, support forums for user to user support and a downloads section offering UIQ themes, firmwares (where available) and links to freeware and shareware applications. In the near future we will be launching a non-profit scheme to test, report on, and certify applications as being compatible with the Motorola Z8 and any other, future, non-touchscreen UIQ phones. The scheme encompasses all types of software, both free / shareware and commercial software. It is impartial and both free and non-binding to both MotoSmartphones.com and the software developer.

Yahoo Go gives easy access to a number of Yahoo services including search, financial information, news, local information, weather and more.
