Verizon Shows Off MOTORIZR Z6tv
September 28, 2007 | by Nick Mokey
More a platform for Verizon services than a new phone its own right, the MOTORIZR Z6tv picks up where the Z3 left off with support for mobile TV, music and video.
Verizon and Motorola jointly took the wraps off the new MOTORIZR Z6tv, a slider phone designed to take advantage of Verizon’s content delivery systems. The newer incarnation of the previous-gen MOTORIZR Z3 will support V Cast Mobile TV, V Cast Music and Video, as well as applications like VZ Navigator.
At its core, the newer MOTORIZR remains very similar to its older brother, with some minor tweaks. The 1.9-inch LCD now spans a full 2 inches, 20MB of onboard storage has expanded to 50MB, and the phone puts on a smidge of weight – just about two tenths of an ounce, now making it 3.7 ounces. The form factor remains unchanged, along with its 2.0-megapixel camera, microSD expansion slot, Bluetooth compatibility, and basic features.
V Cast Mobile TV allows subscribers to watch full-length TV shows on their phones, from The Late Show with David Letterman24 and Dora the Explorer. Monthly access fees range from $13 to $25. to
The MOTORIZR Z6tv will go on sale in the U.S. on October 5. It will sell for $179.99 with a two-year contract and after a $50 mail-in rebate.
