We leave evidence on Motorola's newest phone, a shiny, RAZR-like slider with AT&T's upcoming navigation service.

 The Motorola Z9 isn't a bad choice for a phone, it just isn't a very exciting choice, either. Call quality was very good, and it has all our favorite calling features, including a robust address book and speaker-independent voice dialing. Music, too, was a solid feature, with plenty of options. But none of it was especially appealing or easy to use, so the phone simply fell flat. We'd like to see just a bit more polish all around. A thinner shell, a slicker interface, better Web browsing. Everything on this phone comes so close, but doesn't quite deliver all it could. It does a lot right, but not a lot great. Release: April 2008. Price: $150.
Pros: Nice paint job. Great call quality. Solid build. Navigation tracked us well.
Cons: Not very exciting or elegant, especially for a slider. Keypad wasn't great. Web browser disappointing, especially for Opera.
