The Motorola RIZR Z6 (pronounced "Riser", IPA: //) is a cellular phone from Motorola that is set to be released Q2 2007. The RIZR Z6 follows its predecessor, the RIZR Z3 and is one of the newest phones in the Motorola "four letter" product line, used for phones which have unique or stylish appearances or features (past phones have included the RAZR, ROKR, SLVR, PEBL, MING and KRZR). It is a sliding phone (in the style of competing Samsung and LG phones), where the numeric keys are hidden beneath the screen of the phone when closed.

Design and appearance
The RIZR uses a slider form factor, where the user can push on a rubber push bar located beneath the screen in order to open the phone. When opened, the top portion of the phone slides upwards, revealing the standard bell keypad (including numeric, star, and pound keys). These keys are covered when the phone is closed, but the remaining keys, including the side keys, can be used normally once the keypad is unlocked; such keys are automatically locked shortly after the device is closed to prevent accidental activation when in a purse or pocket.

One of the primary uses of the device when closed is as a landscape still or video camera. When operating in landscape mode, the user holds the phone on its side (90 degrees counter-clockwise), such that the camera key is positioned near the right index finger. The screen text and icons are also rotated, so that they appear normally when held in this fashion. This gives the impression of the phone being more like a traditional camera.
