Motorola Z8 refused by Orange, T-Mobile and ThreeJuly 10, 2007 at 7:54 am by Jay | In Mobile Phones, Mobile NewsMotorola’s new hero handset, the Z8, is not going to be taken at launch by either Orange, T-Mobile or Three, according to the trade magazine Mobile Today although no reasons have been given by the networks. Motorola were hoping that the Z8 would be the handset that revived their flagging handset sales. The advertising for the Motorola Z8 has focused on the handset’s multimedia capabilities, over and above the smartphone functionality offered by the Symbian UIQ software the phone runs on.

At first glance, the Moto Z8 looks extraordinarily exciting. But, as soon as you read the specs, it becomes increasingly clear that it is nothing new. The unusual break with form is the inclusion of Symbian UIQ, which - we would hope - will beat the somewhat testy OS that Motorola supplied on the V3 phones.
Motorola tend to value image more than function. Perhaps this is why Orange et al have given it the thumbs down. Come to think of it, this may explain why Motorola’s profitability has taken a knock.
