I may get the L9.It has 176x220 resolution but it is cheap and I might get it.I haven't decided yet.

[dragnandy]

would modding the z8 or k3 be similar to the k1 or z3?

[fldodger]

Not sure on those.

[Dmatthew]

I'm a proud k3 owner and it's moddable the same way as v3x v6 series (but faster hehe)

Gorgeous design and excellent materials, anyway z8 is different from any moto out there, runs Symbian.

v8 will be Juix like E2

v9 will be v3xx Synergy

Long vacations uh... :lol:

[tkalli]

Razr2 went on sale in Korea, today.
:up: :up:

[araeff]

Would love to get hold of Razr2 v8 or Z8.... Would be cool.

[fldodger]

Yeh like to get the Razor2

[Dmatthew]

I would too but I don't wanna look greedy :twisted:

[dragnandy]

haha i agree with you guys. razr 2 and rizr z8 for me. but if ill wait till it looks moddable.

[theoldman]

[fldodger]

No not me.Lines where 100+ here.

[Spiderman001728]

[fldodger]

[bomber21]

[theoldman]

[fldodger]

I know I can on that Bomber(posting your stuff here)

[Dmatthew]

Can I post k3 stuff? :p

Who's got the iPhone already so we know first hand what it does...

[tctyl]

i love v3

[Dmatthew]

I love K3 :)

[RazrStrpr]

I am hoping that by the time I am bored with my v3i I will be able to get my hands on a v8 (anyone know the difference between the v8 and the v9?)

[araeff]

V8 and V9, emmm let see....

The difference between the two Motorola Razr 2 cell phones is that the Motorola Razr V8 does not have an expandable memory slot while the Motorola Razr 2 V9 supports microSD expandable memory.

The difference between the older "outdated" Synergy UI & the new Linux UI, is that the Linux UI has a totally redesigned more eye appealing interface thats highly customizable. You can add, change, & move folders to where ever you want like Nokia's S60 UI. So it's more of a "smartphone" than it is a regular phone.

This V8 version will be the only version to carry the new and revitalized Linux UI, which will be on "T-Mobile." Other Razr 2 Versions (V9 & V9M) will have the old & tired Synergy UI.

The market will see release of three handsets coming from the RAZR2 family at a time - V8, V9, V9m. Each of them has own market to focus one due to different connectivity options bundled. The line-up?s flagship position is occupied solely by the RAZR2 V8, which is, much like the Motorola Z6, based on Linux/Java, and sports the latest interface version, whereas the rest of the devices run P2K and are of little interest, saving for the casing and design. Functionality-wise these products have their roots in the previous generation; the fate has some irony, for sure. Look at the table to find out what sets the devices apart:

Thanks, Araeff,
Great intel.
What is wrong with Tmo ?
I love their service but they keep denying me phones with expandable memory :cry:
So I'll have to chase down an unlocked V9 ...... :evil:

[araeff]

We'll mod as soon as we get it :D

Thats the path of us modders...

[RazrStrpr]

Well, I need to get Zen with my v3i for practice first :shock:

[araeff]

Just do away, and ask for help, and we'll be glad to help as we can... One thing for sure, Always Backup!

[RazrStrpr]

No worries, my back ups have back ups.
I haven't done anything with my phone yet, and plan to mess with it first, then add all my files...so there's not much to loose.
I am in the research phase, collecting the appropriate programs.
I'm sure I will be asking away shortly. many thanks

[Dmatthew]

I'll root for v9 all the way.. I think Juix is overrated :p

[dragnandy]

what is the difference in UI? like what do different ones do?

[bomber21]

I decided to not buy the L9.V3xx is a better phone and I can't go back to 176x220 with worse UI (L9)..

I am really dissapointed by Motorola.I just want a phone with good video recording.Not this crap 176x144 at 15 fps...
They are releasing the V8/V9 with this crappy video recording and the same bad 2mp camera.I can't believe it.

Only the modding makes me stick to Motorola now.Besides that,v3xx modding is not so advanced...

[Dmatthew]

Well keep in mind there's not much to mod 8)

Of course the camera recording is an issue, but oh well, a pretty phone does the trick for me and keeps me here ...

Maybe v8 camera will improve? I mean E2 at 1.3 megapixel was pretty good because of the UI handling

p.s. I didn't know you were 21 , haha this extra info is somehow strange :lol:

I agree with you!
I am not 21 yet,I ll be in 2 months! :lol:

[Dmatthew]

Well rookie then :p

I think I'll be getting z6 or v9 and that's it.. no more motos until they make the rumored alliances with kodak for better cam quality :shock:

[dragnandy]

z6? why not z8? im kind of excited about the z8z

[Dmatthew]

Well I'm not so sure how Symbian and I will get along haha... from mobilereview it seems like a bit complicated, so there would be a challenge, but I just saw Z6 as a "coming soon" to a carrier of my country, so I'm all excited about that.
Z8 is still on the run , I've yet to touch it and see it in action, since it's a big selling point for me (and z6 looks hot no matter what haha)

[araeff]

DMatt, Z6 also runs on Linux OS, isn't it? Yup, looks very cool!

[Dmatthew]

Indeed, the oh so glorified Juix.. What I'm keen on are its music features, the sharp screen (same as the k3) the form factor I loved from RIZR and the fact that then I could contribute here with juix mods :P

[araeff]

Juix is being installed in Ming I heard, they have opted for Juix instead of Windows mobile.

[Dmatthew]

Yeah all hail to juix now hehe... But then no 3G capable right? I think many will complain then.. since Ming had Edge and nothing else on its first release
