Motorola has constantly been under pressure to try and come up with something new and fresh. However, they still couldn’t come up with a better looking design other than a phone that looks so much like the Razr. The Z9 is definitely not a fresh one. It doesn’t stray very far from the Razr design. It had dimensions similar with the Razr and has a bright 262,000-color display that is mostly identical with Motorola’s famous model.

But let’s not judge a book - in this case, a phone by its cover. Let’s take a closer look at what the Z9 has to offer. The Z9 has a solid and comfortable feel and has won praises from old Motorola fans and new ones in general. Inside is a generous feature set including 3G support, AT&T Navigator GPS service, a digital music player, stereo Bluetooth, an Opera Web browser, a 2-megapixel camera, and Moto’s nifty CrystalTalk technology.

Motorola Inc. Tuesday said it is now selling a new mobile phone with a sliding cover that's based on its popular Razr 2 mobile phone.

The Moto Z9 is available to just U.S. buyers exclusively through AT&T Inc., which includes its AT&T Navigator GPS feature.

"This will have a new keyboard and the slider features instead of the clamshell form factor of the Razr," said Paul Nicholson, director of feature phone products group, based in Libertyville.
