Motorola MOTO Z10 - Form and function get a qualified thumbs up

Published by Steve Litchfield at 17:41 UTC, June 27th 2008

The Motorola MOTO Z10 represents a very different side of UIQ 3 (and Symbian) to the more familiar devices from Sony Ericsson. In his inimitable style, and in part 1 of our full review, Ewan looks at the Z10's form and general design, finding quite a bit to like in the process. Future review parts will cover built-in software, media handling and camera functions.

"The Motorola Z10 certainly looks like an aggressive phone. Lots of silver metal, a black reflective plastic front, and the return of the banana slider form factor that was introduced in the Z8. I don’t think that the inclusion of a speaker grille that wouldn’t look out of place in a 1970’s Ford Cortina necessarily spoils the look and feel of this phone at all. It screams “I should belong to man who wears aftershave, opens bottles with his teeth, and can make a pub stop just by walking in the door.”"

Gorgeous looking phone. But not having wifi is already a bummer. And now you're telling me one usb port for charging n headset? Haven't they heard of the 3.5mm port? Who the hell uses usb for headset anymore?

Er... nearly all Windows Mobile devices?

Windows Mobile devices. Not exactly an indictment of usb headphone connectivity.

Have they solved the problem with the media player being utterly useless? The Z8 was a tasty bit of hardware that was beyond crippled with the software. Trying to load something like a podcast or a large MP3 file took minutes sometimes, if it would even open.

The multimedia mouse, not the multimedia monster.

Yes, great beginning to the review. One of the best ever. Managing to get in Ford Cortinas, after shave and a fear of poodles. Love it.
