Did you check how long the battery is supposed to last?

Lol I know...luckily I have 1900 in my area.

I don't get why Motorola is making such great phones and then not making them quad-band...I mean...would it really be that much harder for them to enable just one more band!

Well, you know that someone is gonna crack the code and release some software that enables 850 eventually...

well that wont happen if theres no 850 hardware on it. a lot of those phones dont have 850 because they arent planned for release in th U.S., which is the only place that uses it

Hardware doesn't matter...it's in the software. They have already found a way to enable the 850 band on the maxx for internet, now it's just a matter of enabling it for the entire network.

if it doesnt have the hardware then theres nothing in the world software can do for it lol. I do suppose your right though, why would they make it without quadband just in case a US carrier wants to pick it up..

I definately like that Z8, that thing is awesome. The slider with the curve is an awesome idea. p_f says the slide mechansim is even better than the Z3 and Z6, and the Z3's is great. I think i'm becoming a phone addict. Next thing you know i'll be robbing people and selling my stuff to get the next new moto LOL.

I guess a moto addiction is better and less expensive than a drug addiction...

You don't need a certain kind of hardware for 850...an antenna's an antenna. It's all in the software. But it doesn't really apply to me anyway...I looked at the 1900 Cingular map and anywhere that I would ever go has 1900...It's mainly the very rural areas that only use 850 and not 1900.

The Z8 looks cool...I didn't see any on eBay, though.

I could be wrong, because I only looked for a sec.
