Motorola Z8 finally gets a firmware update

The long awaited (or not) firmware update for Motorola’s “media monster” is alive now. The American handset maker has been shipping updated firmwares on new handsets for a while now, but the early Z8 owners were left to deal with somewhat buggy software. Now, they can update their smartphones and, we guess, make them more stable. We’ve no idea what’s changed/updated, but as always – we advise users to have the latest firmware version.

In order to update the Z8, you’ll need to download Motorola’s software update tool. Once you install it, connect your phone using USB cable (put the Z8 in “USB Modem” modem) and you should see an updated firmware available. Good luck!

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
