I also found out that the Z6 is single chip (SoC) but dual core, contrary to previous reports. See the updated post for a link to the Freescale presentation with all the juicy info.

Do you know if the Z6 has been a successful model, and whether the software is stable, given it's their first single core handset ? Andreas Hi DD,

In China, but probably missed its market window. And yes, it was based on Freescale's Starcore - single core architecture. Quick note, the Rizr Z6 was released.
