Gadget of the Week
Motorola MotoRIZR Z8 multimedia smartphone

Unique design whereby the phone goes from straight to curved as it slides open
One of the most vivid screen ever on a mobile phone (2.2-inch, QVGA, 16 million colours, TFT)
Stylish appearance (more so than the Nokia N95)
2 MegaPixel digital camera
30 frames per second video capability
Flexible music/media player
Stereo Bluetooth wireless capability
Supports HSDPA at 3.6 Mbps (3G with go faster stripes) good for streaming audio or video over-the-air via mobile internet
Accepts MicroSD cards of up to 4GB capacity
Advanced predictive text system
Cons
Other smartphones have higher resolution cameras (e.g. Nokia N95 has 5 MegaPixel)
No built-in Sat-Nav
No touch screen
No QWERTY keyboard
Prices
