Fall 2016 update Upon its debut in July, Motorola's premium Moto Z made waves with its magnetic snap-on accessories. Unlike the, which featured swappable components but fell short on execution, the Moto Z's modularity offered coherence and ease of use. With the released in September, Motorola trims down the hardware but beefs up the battery, retains the modularity and lowers the price. Affordable, reliable and resilient, the Z Play is an excellent midrange phone - even without the quirky Mods. It's available in the US on Verizon for $408; the unlocked GMS version will become available globally in October for $450 (or £347 and AU$590, converted). Though it doesn't have all of the bells and whistles of the original Z or, the Z Play embodies most of the best virtues of the Z series - and includes an increasingly rare 3.5mm jack - without breaking the bank.

Josh Miller Editors' note: The original Motorola Moto Z review, published in July 2016, and updated since, follows. With the Moto Z (or Moto Z Droid Edition as it's called by US carrier Verizon), customization isn't about what your phone looks like. It's about what it does. Snap-on 'Moto Mods' give your phone a meatier battery, turn it into a boombox for your weekend cookout and transform it into a video projector for an impromptu movie night. These Mods aren't perfect. They add a layer of bulk when they snap onto the phone's back and you'll need to cough up extra dough to buy them. But Motorola's whole magnetic take on the modular ecosystem is simpler and more approachable than.
It's also easier to use than, which forces you to remove the battery, thereby turning off the phone, if you want to swap parts. On top of that, the phone ain't cheap. Motorola hasn't said how much the Z costs worldwide, but it will sell with US carrier Verizon for $624. International prices aren't available yet, but convert to about £475 or AU$835. On the whole, the Moto Z is a reliable and powerful device that can stand up to most of the top-of-the-line phones - and that's even if you strip away the compelling modular factor.
But you wouldn't do that, would you, because those modules are half the fun. If you're not interested in snapping on an extra battery, or case, or speaker, then skip the Moto Z and. But if you can't wait to be on the cutting edge of smartphone design, the Z here is actually useful while still being different and cool.
(If you're from the US, you could also check out the Moto Z's meatier counterpart, the, but in truth I like the Moto Z better.). Without a doubt, the Moto Z's biggest draw is its, hot-swappable accessories that can decorate the back or, better yet, add extra functionality - such as a battery pack.
Motorola's take is polished and well-executed because attaching the Mods is as easy as lining up magnetic parts - science does the rest. You can change Mods in seconds and won't have to power off the phone to do so.
There's a decent variety of starter Mods, and Motorola's parent company Lenovo says it's lining up more partners. Companies such as Incipio, Tumi and Kate Spade make battery packs that can wirelessly charge the phone while also extending battery life. JBL's snap-on speaker rests on a kickstand while it cranks out tunes louder than the phone's built-in speaker. Perhaps the quirkiest Mod, however, is from Motorola itself: the Insta-Share Projector beams images, videos and the Moto Z's display onto any surface. By and large, the Mods stay put when you snap them on.
Slimmer 'Style Shells' (think of this as a customized back plate) hugged the Moto Z when we dropped it from every angle onto carpet. The bulkier speakers sometimes popped off at the end of a 4-foot drop (which we expected), but otherwise, you'll pull them off when you want to. Design: Thin, but awkward when bare The Moto Z is a thin phone, but sturdy and well built. But the more I admire its svelte design, the more awkward it looks without any accessories.
The camera bulges out brazenly, the magnetic pins on the back cry out for a mate, and the phone's sharp sides dig into my hand. A backplate, however, can round out the rough edges. Instead, there is just the USB-C port and a headphone jack adaptor dongle, which makes wired headphones work.
But you won't be able to charge the phone while listening to music this way, and if you lose the adaptor, you're toast. The industry seems to be, but it's still annoying if you don't have any Bluetooth headphones. Still, the Moto Z's most maddening detail is the bulbous fingerprint reader on the front. It looks like a home button, but does nothing other than read your fingerprint. You know how many times I pressed it instinctively expecting it to take me to the home screen? If Motorola can't turn it into a home button, it should move it to the power/lock button or the back.

Six Methods: When you buy a new mobile phone you will probably get a good deal by signing up with a service provider at the same time. To make sure you stick with the plan, your service provider will lock your phone, making it impossible to use the phone with other providers or take advantage of the full GSM capabilities of your handset when traveling the world. Nor will you be able to use your sim card in other phones, or other sim cards in your phone. Unlocking the phone gets rid of these limitations and allows you to use multiple sim cards and multiple providers on your phone, in addition to greatly increasing the resale value of the phone.

I have good news for you-no there is not a driver for the v360 in the software but you can get it to work under a different model, you just have to set it up manually. First start the program and follow its instructions to add a new phone.
It will fail and should display a white phone template and 'Initializing' will be on the display as well as a restricted sign. File shredder. Click the Menu button 2. Select General Setup 3. Click the Communication tab 4. Click Change Modem 5.
Click Next 6. Select Motorola USB Modem, click Next 7. Check 'Do not auto detect', click Next 8. Select the proper network you're on (ex.
Tmobile is GSM), select a phone model (either V3 or V400 works well), click Next 9. Click Finish, the Device Wizard closes 10.Click OK on general setup window 11.Phone should appear on top and say 'Initializing' and the layout will change to a different phone, after several seconds the phone will be recognized and you should see the display with signal strength, battery, and probably provider (it does with tmobile anyways) SIG AND BATT MAY NOT BE EXACT-THEY JUST APPROXIMATE!! 12.You should be able to use all the features of the program now.
Any other questions you have or problems I have no problem trying to help.good luck! Motorola Phone Tools is the white and blue disc distributed with most (all?) new Motorola phones if you do not have a copy I would suggest you head to the motorola website and hunt it down, I don't remember if it's a free download but a copy is about 25 USD for the disc IIRC.

The 'Install New' function only appears on the v360 when you are viewing the Java apps on the memory card. Where the files need to be on the memory card to be installed still eludes me, though the files for installed apps are on the card under /mobile/kjava/'your IMEI'. Stored as J2ME0-12.xxx (hard max on the v360 for apps is 13 it seems since I constantly get an error when I try to install more that I've bought and downloaded from my provider) J2MEST stores the app list info. I've asked Motorola for details on this install question as it's driving me barmy trying to test my own software since I can't install it to my phone the quick way and as a dev that's annoying.
