"Pretty Good Phone"
Pros: Decent Sound, Looks Nice, Same Old Familiar Motorola Interface
Cons: Same Old Motorola Interface, Constant switching from 3G to 2G(edge)
Summary: The Z9 is an OK phone, Not bad but not anything New or inovative from Motorola (think V3 RAZR) The "new" Crystal Sound from Moto dosen't seen to be that noticable, the volume is better than My V3 Razr, Motorola (for some unexplained reason) decided that you can only download MP3's for ringtones that are 300KB or less, this equates to about a 14-16 second clip. I have no Idea why they did this but it limits what you can use for ringtones a lot. The usual supplied ringtones are pretty bad. They also couldn't leave well enough alone with the USB connector, they went with a micro instead of a mini, not a big deal, and the phone comes with an adapter from micro to mini, but the micro usb connector cover on the phone is very cheap plastic that looks like it will most likely break off quickly. The Slide works very nicely, and feels sturdy, AT&T Navagation is a little iffy, and I am not sure it's worth $10.00 a month. Overall the phone is pretty nice, camera quality is OK the flash is not an automatic flash it is just a light you can turn on or off manually, kind of a dissapointment there.
If the Z9 were priced any higher than it is it would not be a good buy, a little high priced for basiclly a slider version of a RAZR.

Pearl, iPhone, Nokia N95 - They're all bad at the fundamental function of a cell phone, i.e. a telephone call. I have had to squash these phones into the side of my face to hear (often the speaker phone is not appropriate or desirable). The Z9 call quality is excellent. Its other functions: nav., camera, bluetooth, logs, video, texting could all be better but they are more than adequate.
95% of the time I do not need to locate an acupuncture specialist in Seoul (nothing against South Korea) . I need to hear the person on the other end of the call without everyone around me hearing both sides of the conversation.
That said, the Z9 makes for a good all around device. Moreover, as a weekend - make myself incognito to all but a few people (hiding) - the Z9 is a great 2nd phone!
