The Motorizr Z3 is the Swiss Army knife of cellphones: Though its individual features are unremarkable, their inclusion in one phone makes the Z3 an exceptionally usefull tool to have in your pocket. This slider model has the protected keypad of a clam shell cell and the slim, lightweight physique of a candybar phone. It’s two-megapixel camera captures above-average still, and the built-in music player supports several digital-audio formats and stores up to two gigabytes of tunes. Too bad it can’t help you open bottles, pick your teeth, or tweeze your eyebrows.
