Mobile-review have posted their review of the Motorola Z10. Here is the final impression.
Impressions
In terms of reception quality, the Z10 is a solid performer, although in view of its moderate ring tones volume occasionally you won�t hear it from your bag. At the same time, its vibro alert is pretty decent and we were generally happy with how powerful it was.
The phone�s sales kick off early in April at 500-550 USD, which is way too steep for the Z10. We wonder what the maker charges so much for? Form-factor? It would be very unreasonable of Motorola to do that � they need to take this new design to the mainstream with bargain prices otherwise it will never garner any following. Probably, these are extra applications for editing photo/video and beaming multimedia content straight to online blogs that add such a hefty premium? But the value of these feats is somewhat questionable. Or is it the upgraded camera module? I wonder. The thing is, the Z10 comes into the market already somewhat dated due to its exorbitant price � what looks appropriate for a 300-350 USD worth device, seems like a very bad deal in a handset that retails for twice as much. Even the Nokia N82 leaves the Z10 far behind on all fronts with its camera, GPS and a slew of free software available on the web. That�s why we feel bewildered about the Motorola Z10�s price tag. Unfortunately, with this pricing policy, it aims at a very narrow niche, specifically brand loyal consumers who want to support Motorola in this time of trouble.
