Hands-on with the Motorola Z9 for AT&T

So who exactly green-lighted the "mahogany" shade used on the AT&T V9 and Z9, anyway? We don't like it any more now than we did when we saw it on the RAZR 2, but the phone itself looks like a solid choice for anyone seeking a decent midrange slider -- especially if Samsung and LG aren't to your liking. We were pleasantly surprised by how thin the phone looks and feels (the press shots seem to betray it there for some reason), and the screen is one of the better we've seen in a device in this class, both for size and clarity. Throw in a little AT&T Navigator action, Video Share support, and HSDPA, and you have yourself a complete little package -- if you're into those sorts of things, anyway!

It seems like instead of making phones that look like the RAZR. Motorola is simply making phones that now look like the RAZR2. Is it just me or are they following their footsteps again?

Well, kind.
They have a phone that looks like this on T-Mobile but they just enhanced it for AT&T

So what is the Release Date?!?!?!??!

It's already out, go to your local AT&T store and (if you can) pick one up!

Or go to att.com and go to wireless and find it there for 149.99

Anyone know what color the keys are when lit? hopefully not neon purple like the V9

I think the people who picks the phones at AT&T headquarters are homosexuals. I've seen the purple color on this phone in person. It's hideous.

Anyone know the processor speed of this lil guy? I have a SLVR L7 with itunes and it's super slow. I downloaded Doom for mobile phones and it crawls. Also, has anyone ever heard of a way around the agps? as in, will i be forced to use the ATT Navigator software only for gps purposes?
