Motorola ZN300 - User Reviews

  • Where did u get the flex cable from??? I bought twice but it didn’t work

  • Greeting i had taken this cellphone last 2 years back so i got problem and i kept it all now i want to repair so where is the bast repairing place so i can. kindly send mail in [email protected]

  • The phone is good but the slider feature make the flex a problem I have changed the flex 3 times...luv this phone.

  • good.but it doesn't play the you tube videos.what can i do?

  • U Must be Noob.ZN300 is Best Phone dude or u may working as promoter for china phones lol

  • good

  • No battery backup....

  • i too have the same problem wat to do

  • I really like this ZN300 it seems to be everything I need in a phone. No the CD was old ver 5 and did not even have this listed or that of Windows 7, and it was a waste of time and why they sent it, is a question. I use Uconnect in my car which is 2011 Dodge crew van and the phone could connect with it but would not upload the phone book from the phone to the Van. So had to put each name and number into the Van one at a time. Beside that, it works great and I the price is right.

  • has anyone seen that if you download files in mp4 format, then you do not get them as videos but you get the sound instead? you will find your mp4 files where your music is in your phone. it only supports 3gp video files. anyone experienced this? Also the battery doesn't last so long when you are chatting or using the internet

  • Send it back to the vendor. I had the same problem and the replacement worked fine.

  • i have my motorola last year but sad to says it last only a year coz it damage..i bring to repair shop and they told me the flex is need to change but as of now the said flex is out of stock..were can i but the flex?

  • It's fine for a low price phone

  • caller can hear me but i can't hear them. what can i do.

  • 3,510 in universal show rooms......

  • "You get what you pay for" ... the phone was $ 125.00 here in El Salvador, unlocked, debranded, It doesn't come with a MicroSD Memory Card and the headphones are CRAP! Once I plugged the phone to my car stereo using the 3.5mm adapter the sound went from crap to just fantastic!... is a shame that the battery didn't last long, you'll have to charge it every night if want to have this thing going on. The phone is heavy for it's size, the slider very mediocre, jiggles a lot!, the keyboard is just ugly, looks like one of those chinese knockoffs and the worst thing about this cellphone is the screen VIEWING ANGLES... no matter what position you adopt, the screen just washes out... a real shame! Signal quality is very good, but again, the battery, one day on a featurephone is just lame. Hope this review would be helpfull ... Jack

  • Just mood it , and you will get rid of that bug's , you will be impressed

  • disadvantage : Camera quality OS updates Sound quality low

  • Go to Motorola.com

  • It is not a linux phone. it based on motorola razr 2 v9 platform only menu icons are like linux phone nothing else 1.in motrola linux phones u can create folders in main menu but not possible in zn300. 2.in linux phone u can create your own theme again not possible in zn300 3.motorola linux phone support Mp3,mp4.aac,ra,rm,wma,wmv,3gp,h263,h264,xmf,wav,­amr-nb,amr-wb,midi,pcm,ogg(motorola u9)formats. but zn300 supports only mp3,mp4,aac,wma,wmv,h263,3gp,midi,wav,amr, 4.this phone is not much powerfull like motorola linux based mobile like z6,u9,zn5,v8,em35,em350,ve66 etc.

  • You can not just load a theme on the Motorola ZN line of phones, they use Linux as the operating system, what you do is get the ring tones pictures etc. and create your own theme using the built in features. It's pretty simple to do. I have the ZN5 and it has the same issues.

  • its price iz Rs.3400

  • i love my zn300

  • Dont Purchase this mobile. 1, Camera as not 3.1MP. Its only VGA eg.China mobiles, 2, Frequently Hanging 3, Baterry as not good 4, Its a failure Model Totally Motorola as Bad product.

It's sill surviving in INDIA as lately the chief of Motorola in INDIA, Mr. Faisal Siddiqui had announced 8-9 phones for INDIA which even included Motorola ZN-300 for Rs. 8000-Rs. 10000. THANKS

  • u can but u know first check it out the quality of the material of this fone ,its bit disapointing and the flash is worst sound is ok and its sensitive because while pressing the main keys u can hear the squezzy sound that means it means the durability is not good and the keys r not standard keys and more over if u look that piece its toally chamki and its lookin like achina mobile. i buyed it yesterday u can buy pls check the external features cmng to software upto now i dont have any problem regarding that i buyed this yesterday if any updatesa i let u know.

  • what happened to motorola philippines? it closed a few months ago! I hope motorola can recover again..

  • Actually motorola makes very good phones. Nokias are costly, bad quality. moto rocksssss......... forever. In my personal opinion and observation motorola w230 (cost about 2500 rupees) can beat the sound quality of nokia n72 (cost about 7500 rupees) ,,, thrpugh speakers and headphones also. motorola makes perfact phones.

  • i wana buy it

  • nice phone, good job moto

  • whatta feature.... so nonsense! open ur eyes... were now in year 2009... where phone is equipped with 12 mega pix camera and a whooping 16 gb built in memory plus the wi-fi which is a must! good luck!

  • very good phone good looking

  • Motorola is now way behind the competition in terms of tech arms race. Samsung and LG are both churning out innovative phones with the latest technology trends. Motorola is stuck in 2007. This phone is so 2007 model.

  • Video mixer is option is very fine

  • I recommed u all to buy diz mobile,OS is very superb.easy to use.Messaging is very easy,

  • r u gone nuts /????? m usin moto phones last 2 yrs it really sucks.........!!!!!!!!!!!

  • i am also a big fan of motorola but amazed to see that non of you wana give detail review of zn300,so my requested to all of you is that atleast give a review of the following 1- being a camera phone how is the camera quality,and also tell me in what resolution it shots video 2- how is the screen quality bcz motorola phones are famous for their lcd clearity. 3- sound quality ? 4- and the most important how are the security function ? can we put password on different location in cell and can we block unwanted calls and sms senders thanks in advance im waiting for ur reply

  • I am a big fan of Motorola phones. My very first mobile phone is a Motorola. Unfortunately, Motorola is having financial problems and having a hard time innovating new phones. There are no more Motorola stores in our country anymore. I hope Motorola can get back on its feet soon. I can't wait to use a Motorola phone again.

  • very nice stylish

  • motorola makes very ugly phone...

  • This mobile is one of the most beautiful mobile models available in the market. You can get this mobile in beautiful black color which can boast up your personality quotient. The stylish design of this model is what makes it distinct from other mobiles The quality and superiority of this mobile is reflected by the above discussed features. Motorola fans can surely love this model due to the exclusive features that are offered in this mobile. This mobile is neither too large nor too small and so is best for mobile users who love to try new mobile models that are launched in the mobile market.

  • This model's available only in China now...

  • hey jeve.. mode shift keys are something like, when u r in camera mode, u can see camera mode specific keys and when u r in normal mode u no more see camera specific keys.... its more like morphing keypad... And also it has got 3 way camera mode switch on phones side, which can be used to go any mode like picture capture mode, vedio recording mode and review mode at any time... this feature is awesome... and also battery life is ok... not at all bad... this phone is cooolllll

  • wats mode shifting keypad?

  • Battery Backup is worst...what makes difference form previous versions..

  • Overrated big time!

  • 140 eur gooood

  • the phone is superb.... great value for money....

  • why? with out rds fm why? camera lens cover missing

  • 32 GB External Memory great!

  • this phone is very good. man it's superb. inclusion of 3g would have been better. but good phone. the model looks like nokia. but doesn't matter.. i would rate it 9/10.......

  • very good price

  • i like it realy

  • Why cant i post anything GSM? What do you mean spam protection? I am not a spammer!

  • It's too good phone compared to other in same range.

  • well its better then zn200 but the price of this piece shuld be cheap n it kinda looks like the n81 by the sides

  • I think this is a cool handset.

  • It is now for sale on Ebay for about $225.00.

  • good

  • why not u show price

  • this phone dint support 3g is let me feel disappointed....

  • Phone just released in HK for about US$215 without contract and unlock. Checked the spec page on both Moto HK & Moto China, neither mentioned about the support of TD-SCDMA. Heard from another source this phone is actually OEM from another company (Moto doesn't know how to make its phone recently like A3100?) Though keypad and fonts are pretty large good for elderly. I only tried the dummy model and somehow even the dummy one doesn't feel as solid as VE66. In my opinion, I might get one when price drops below US$120, as for the current price, one can get a much better built/better quality Zn5 for about the same price.

  • shame to gsmarena they even cant write correct specification about new phone and layman say correct to them i see this subject several time about moto and other brand phone they are employee for 2 or 3 ditinct brand

  • When is this phone coming out? It has been a long enough wait!

  • wow i think i love this stuff..

  • but gsmarena dont write it please update specification modshift keypad opera web browser Stereo FM radio with RDS network : CDMA / TD SCDMA

  • thanks to gsmarena personnel to update zn300 specifications : Opera web browser & ... .

  • Here are some live pics of the ZN300. It looks really nice.

  • really reminds me of nokia n81 in design of the slide and shape but without the wifi but still has better cam

  • which phone has good design guys ? aura . z10 .a3100 .ve66 . zn5 or motoactv EVERYBODY have different tact you dont like zn300 design but very people like it its different nice design

  • what is wrong with the deign?? Why do people always think THEY can do a better job at engineering handsets?

  • Motorola really needs ti hire a good design team... Man, the make ugly phones, and out dated before they come on to the market. Whats wrong with these guys?

  • Boss device. I choose it for all facility .

  • very nice phone i like it again diferent design from moto

  • the successor of Z3. nice! I'm still holding a Z3 now,, and still waiting the ZN5 go to the lower price.. hahaha... how much is ZN300??

  • a lot of people think that all phones should be created equal and if a phone isn't high end, and if it doesn't have enough megapixels(lol who needs all that mp anyway? anyone care for pic quality?), then it's not a good phone a all. looks this one is a good mid range (take note, NOT HIGH END)multimedia phone. hope it gets released in the PH.

  • Somebody probably hasn't experienced... - charge any phone via USB...to realize ALL of such phones can also be charged by other types of chargers, including portable backup battery - never seen the charger of the i-phone...which is nothing but a USB-cable plus a "converter" to the wall.

  • Z... Please tell me you are wise enough to realize that charging via a USB port on a PC is NOT the only way to charge this phone. It also can be charged with an AC adapter. The USB charging is merely a convenience.

  • Motorola is still making phones ??? Surprising

  • Very good design and quality. A wonderful mid tier phone

  • charging by USB? LOL, u bring a ps3/xobx/PC/Mac everywhere u go???

  • motorola no good

  • To the uninformed: 1. This unit is targeted for China which uses EDGE predominantly. 2. Motorola will always be the best when it comes to communication... CRYSTAL TALK 3. This will be a good mid-ranged phone for the price.

  • Great design - really cool looks. Too bad it's low on specs and features.

  • =P dream phone.. (wish i didn't buy that piece o' crap Z770)

  • You watch to much Oprah, Stewie. Motorola is a has-been-wanna-be-won't-be company. Chew it/swallow it/digest it/pass it/accept it. This is definitely my last post on motocrapola. Over and out amigos. Yawn. Who's got a light?

  • Thanks 100 Moto, after reading your comment, I felt I'm way too far off from your compliments. You definitely has helped many guys here and many other sites I've visited. From the look, ZN300 is really solid eventhough I've not seen the real thing yet but from many other actual Moto phones I've seen and felt before, I can attest to Moto's good foundation in solid design history so I must say I've confidence in this particular model. Talk about solid design, the MC 55 is really impressive, again I believe Moto designed that for a special and niche market. In this economic downturn, I believe more & more phone manufacturers are expected to come up with low to mid range products so Moto is not the only one to produce more reasonably priced phones.

  • i very love this phone design

  • i dont understand y motorola dislike to make a 3G phone. is agood phone but dont have 3G? yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy?

  • Ahh, over this moto talk. Chow Bella's. See you in the next life.

  • From my observation here, our boardmate Stuart has shared absolutely no less than what I've been doing. The main difference is I like to "collect" Moto phones, hence I've bought more Moto phones than most average people (17 Moto phones in the past 13 months, no kidding!) However, I do not have the same expertise as Stuart on any particular model. especially for "smart" phones or Windows Mobile, which I mostly use the "non-smart" functions only. I just wish more people can really share their experience with the phones.

  • i'd say this phone is quite cute. different design from their traditional designs. and motorola phones are really excellent and long lasting...

  • Oops, my apologies to others, forgotten to click the reply button, my post below was a reply for Phiafly and not meant for anyone else.

  • Well that explains your reasoning :D

  • Excuse the typos. Just shared a dooby with my mate.

  • Yes Moto is the best on design but why not 3G if they did it on V3X why not on this on I'm waiting for the 3G one

  • Not many guys hate Motorola here, so far the Anonymous under location code wfy$ and Phiafly are from the same encoded location so they are the same person. There's no right or wrong in individual's preference, just what an individual likes or dislikes BUT I don't agree with some individuals condemning brands that they dislike just to obtain ego satisfactions and also show to the world that they "know em' all", but in most cases they don't know em all. I'll respect if someone's Nokia or SE fan so they should go to Nokia or SE's forum and help as many people as possible. Similarly, I've been in Motorola's forum here for some time now as I like certain Moto phones but I didn't condemn others and expose my immaturity by saying things like "yawn", X brand is 2 years behind and so on. If they have so much time to spend condemning and even provoking others, it's an early symptom of mismanagement of productive time, at least spend that time to help others instead of others spending their precious time to educate them - which I'm sure they won't like even a bit.

  • Why do all of u guys just hate motorola? i have been using many motorola phones since a long time and im satisfied with it...i havent ever had a problem with the phone when i dropped it on ground or even in water...

  • I don't think Moto has ever said it makes the most advanced / feature packed phones in the world right now, indeed it no longer focues on that segment of the market. However, if the almighty brand who is so almighty to the point that it packs "everything" into a phone, how come it left out such simple thing like charging by USB? The analogy is a middle school kid "should" have limited knowledge, while a college kid "should" easily outsmart a middle school kid. However, if a college kid can't even perform the basic math of a primary school kid, we wonder how did the kid got into college in the first place.

  • thx moto

  • The almighty brand even can't provide a good voice quality cellphone.I think it's a basic feature for a cellphone.So,you are proud of your cheap plastic design N95 8GB? Can your N95 make a clear call in such a noisy environment?

  • Hello my friend, I rarely comment these days but I'm still reading. Looks like another "Anonymous-like" New Balance 81 case surface again (if you can still remembers that). Don't waste your precious time on little things like this, these are "siu yan" or "siau ren" that you can afford to let go.

  • Wow! Charging from a USB port. Now that is advanced. Ok, here's a little challenge for you: name a Motorola phone on the marked today with the same specs or better than a Nokia N95 8GB(which is over a year old now). You better check out the N95 8GB spec sheet before answering, just to save embarrassment. I will however concede that Motorola are the leaders in Walkie Talkies(2 way radios and CB or "ham radio"). Oh, joy!

  • I certainly want to send you a postcard with my Moto phone charging thru USB...seems like most of the brands you mentioned are NOT capable of such ADVANCE TECHNOLOGY invented by Moto several years ago. Of course iphone is capable of that as well (not sure about HTC). And how about technology similar to Crystal Talk from the brands you mentioned? I know certain brand's barphones are famous for capturing all the background noise so the person's own voice cannot be heard. Hi-tech stuff? You can get all the hi-tech stuff you want from the other brands, but if the earpiece volume goes up and down inconsistently, don't see how hi-tech can it be.

  • the moto phone are realy TENACIOUS voice quality is best BETWIXT rivals the design is PARTICULAR the new technology is EXCLUSIVE(modshift , crystal talk ...) overlord motorola

  • Well, you enjoy your third/forth rate product and the rest of us will enjoy cutting edge technology(Nokia, LG, Sony etc)and all the benefits that they bring. Send us a postcard from the past. All the best Grampa.

  • No choice due to incapabilities of others or others do not want to provide the necessary support? The law enforcement agency where I live actually tried the almighty brand's products once....as it bidded for the contract with unbelievable low price. However, upon the initial trial run, drop calls, blind spots, shutdown and various other problems surfaced to the point the law enforcement agency decided to switch back to Moto. Even voice quality of Moto's bar design Zn5 outperforms competitors with Crystal Talk technology, not to mention even the almighty brand doesn't even know how to make a decent (slim) flip phone... My friend dropped his N76 ONCE and the flip turned over 180 degrees and lost the open to answer function, while his wife's V3maxx dropped at least 20 times and still works perfectly.

  • Because they are contracted to use Motocrapola. They have no choice!

  • Mid range is all they are capable of and they are at the bottom of "mid range". Get it now? They are a spent force. Let them die already!

  • Without Motorola, how many more years would it take the others to "invent" mobile phones? And if Moto makes such "worst" telecom devices, why your local lawenforcement officers / firefighters / medical teams still use Moto products?

  • stylish

  • This is still a major fault with Moto phones- look how the text is cut off: "Phoneb..." "Multim..." etc, looks really messy :/

  • sorry man couldn't find any similarity between the LG one and Moto one.

  • friends check its design with LG KC550

  • Does anyone here have an IQ above 80?? How is this mid-range device ANY different from a mid-range device from SE, Nokia, LG or Samsung? What part of MID-RANGE do you not understand??

  • Yawn. Motorola is over and out!

  • excelent multimedia phone

  • Why, moto are like 2 years behind everyone else...

  • Yeah, quite "outdated" eh? See when will either the almighty brand or the I?Music brand will come out any phone which supports both GSM and TS-SCDMA....probably in YEARS to come. Don't think the two other brands mentioned above even know how to make a dual mode GSM/CDMA phone. Outdated tech eh?

  • Why do motorola bother?!

  • everybody moto hater can say whatever like but i love this good phone and wana buy it soon

  • its to good handset

  • i like it

  • Why motorola keeps on making phones like this?? VERY OUTDATED.

  • I'm sure, that Moto name will be equals to present Philips. Several years ago Philips was No1 in Europe and now it's asia product using Philips brand name. Motorola is so deep in trouble, you don't understand haw deep, I was here, I now...

  • Well put Stuart... Many people think that EVERY device should come equipped with high end features such as GPS, Wi-Fi, doc. viewer...etc, etc. This merely a mid-range device. Every company makes low ,mid ,& high end devices, from LG to Nokia, to SE, & so on. If a particular model doesn't come equipped with what you need, look for something else. There are enough handsets to satisfy even the most hard-core user.

  • I can understand why there were many comments both positives & negatives on this phone, it's more to do with personal preference of different individuals. For me, this design is good, especially the metal back. However, some comments require "further evaluation", like no 3G, no Wifi, no touchscreen and so on. From reading these comments, I can feel the person who posted these comments were actually looking or expecting this model to be a high end phone, unfortunately it's not. The specs clearly indicated that this model were produced to compete at the low to mid range market. For those interested to get a higher range touchscreen, 3G phone, look at A3100, for a good camera phone - ZN5, music phone - E8 and so on. The models are all separated in different RANGEs. Different PHONE RANGE competes in different MARKET RANGE and therefore different PRICE RANGE. A lot of readers here already knew this and they saw the specs, are aware of which market segment this ZN300 is targeting and commented fairly based on this information. I can't say the same for some comments here and straight away you'll know the they were posted without taking the PHONE RANGE into consideration. Yes, the ZN300 is the latest model of ZN series but it is also a lower range model as compare to ZN5. By knowing the correct range, the expectation level will be set in our conscious mind therefore our comment on ZN300 will be more reasonable & considerate.

  • very beautiful

  • Then,get outta here.We don't need your explicit words here.

  • It's not a flip phone.It's a slider.Don't get us wrong with your wrong statement.

  • I'm asking you..Why there is N76 which copy all the V3 design? This ZN300 has a far way better design than the damn cheap and plastic N81.

  • It's a mid-low phone.Don't get us wrong.It will be on an affordable price.It's better than Nokia 7100 Supernova which has 5 mb internal with no card slot.

  • so.. n81... i mean, i don't giva a damn about this moto phone, to me.. from d exterior it's so freakin nokia n81.. dun't get it why they always make the same thing...! to prevent the trend or lack ofcreativity... that would be a great question! and also... i guess motorola only dominate american phone industry... infact asia always be the top market

  • the phone is a kool but with 8mb internal memory there not impressive 8gb would sound like a hit but make it smaller i mean the keypad is hue they could have made it with a 2 qwerty keyboard like the layout of the blackberry pearl that would definately been a hit

  • it's an ugly phone

  • very good phone i love this diferent design thancks moto

  • i think this will be the last year for motorola, stick to flip phone. My first mobile phone is the starTac and my best motorola is the V60i. but now bye . . bye . . motorola

  • Are there companies who are still manufacturing phones with 8MB internal memory???? Come on...

  • If Moto don�t release anything new and fresh like a tuch screen device, moto will go down for shure....What the world needs now, is touchscreen devices.....These are the new trend not these phone for the chinese market....

  • why gsmarena dont right complete specification zn300???!!! Quad-band GSM (850/900/1800/1900 MHz), CDMA / TD SCDMA 240 x 320 pixel QVGA display 3.1 megapixel camera, 8x digital zoom and editing options, LED flash 15-20 fps video capture and playback Video Mixer (on-device video editing, transition and sound effects) Video Mixer gives you the option to add customizable or preloaded transitions and sound effects to videos Facebook, YouTube and MySpace apps Popular pre-loaded social media services such as Facebook, Myspace, Photobucket and YouTube let you publish photos, videos and blog postings, with just one click. 3.5mm headset jack Opera web browser 8MB of internal memory MicroSDHC support up to 32GB Talk time: up to 435 minutes Stand-by time: up to 400 hours 3.76 x 1.8 x 0.58 inches, 3.6 ounces ...

  • Yes, design is stylelish but features is very very very pppppoooooooorrrrrrr........

  • Actually...the 3G band, the (TD-SCDMA band) has been deleted, so now the phone doesn't even utilize the 3G band for China. Nevertheless, 3G isn't a deal breaker. I rarely use my phone for web browsing.

  • For the uninformed: It has 3G but would only work with China's network architecture. Which is too bad for the rest of us that uses standard 3G connections.

  • again the diferent design from motorola excellent

  • I don�t know why you are so critical about. 3.15mp, nice design, an affordable phone, altough i think Moto is loosing the touch in what concerns about their design....Overall 8/10

  • strange - i was thinking that it has 3G ... specially when it was announced on gsmarena news

  • Just stop barking all nokia paid people,MOTOROLA is already giving new and great mobiles with very good functionality,just look at the design no where nokia,se,and other brands come close to these designs which motorola gives...so go anywhere else okay

  • neat design, product finishing is so much better in moto fones, unlike SE or Nokia, in most of SE phones battery covers creeks

  • Rubbish design...isn't moto thinking about its existing customers.. ??

  • is this phone like all other motorola counterparts?? B'coz i like this phone n i wanna know it's price

  • good design ... & i dont really think they copied the design from nokia n81 or n82 thats a stupid idea cuz i got a n81 8gb and this phone is a lot different from the n81 style ... this phone may rock if it will be available on the market for a cheap prize ... 3.5 mm jack is a great move ...

  • Wake uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuup Motorola! We are in 2009!

  • WOW... excellent desgin Its a perfect fone. love it.

  • Zn300 does run on 3G, just the type you'll never use until you go work / live in mainland China...which doesn't exactly allow public Wifi. So why offer a feature which has absolutely no use in the target market?

  • such a beautiful phone

  • motorola is very stupid.in this modern day no 3g on wlan.this fone is indeed bad

  • Like N81 or N85

  • Unique design

  • i like the design. elegant and glossy finish. sorta like most recent n-series of Nokia.

  • the only way to make this phone "click" is to keep it cheap!

  • Not Bad Motorola.....

  • nice phone hahaa!!!! jyjy!!!

  • the design is quite sophisticated i think? i wish motorola can catch up from other phone company..
