We like:
New and improved Motorola interface; HSDPA (3.5G); S9 Stereo Bluetooth headset; easy-to-access SIM and microSD slots
We don't like:
Hard-to-use keypad and nav keys

It's great to see Motorola move away from the classic Razr V3 design with this mobile, also known as the Motorizr Z8. We're also excited about the HSDPA. The awkward-to-use keypad, however, really lets the phone down
