Typical Motorola
by coachgray January 31, 2008 4:18 PM PST
I worked 12 years for Motorola Semiconductor group and they spun us off. Now they want to spin off the cell phone group. They will keep spinning off until there is nothing left of one of the greatest American companies ever. Whatever happened to bearing down and working harder to be the best again instead of spinning off (GIVING UP). Their arrogance has driven them to complacency and they can?t figure out how to be creative and innovative again. Just another sad chapter in Motorola?s history.

no one should give up and this goes for motorola, they make the best phones (the original designs). Nothing compares dont give up
like freescale?

Is it gonna be another spin-off like Freescale? Anyway, their cell-phones never function well after 1 year. So might be a good idea to wash hands off of it and let the spin-off company take all the blame hereafter...

Crap phones

I used to love Motorola but they went to cr/p after the V60 line...that was the last good Motorola phone. I bought a RAZR last year and it has been replaced TWICE for dropping calls, lousy earpiece, etc.

I got a Nokia a few weeks ago and it's never dropped a call and the voice quality is great. I'll never own another Motorola again...
