They should be committed....

The user interface on their admittedly nice phones is infuriating. It
looks as though someone designed the RAZR's interface after a
three day coke and whiskey bender.

Sold 40.9 Million Phones Last Quarter

In spite of a decline in market share, Motorola sold 40.9 phones last quarter alone, according to IDC.

It's premature for Motorla to throw in the towel.

40.9 millions phones sold by flooding the market with units at cheap prices in an attempt to recapture market share...and in the process...millions of dollars were lost.

I also hope that Motorola is now commited to make practical, uncomplicated, easy to use and better
quality mobile phones as well. somehow I feel that this is a segment of the phone market has been neglected by the nerds who dont seem to understand the vast majority of average users. one can only hope.

Can you make a phone instead of a toy?
by Stephen Russell February 12, 2008 6:18 AM PST
Would you believe that there are MANY consumers who don't need a toy in their hand. They just want a phone that connects, has great reception and will keep contacts.

I don't need a browser every second of my life. I don't need to put earphones on to listen to music all the time either.

Why not make a phone for us? Probably 20 million consumers just like that. Make a large display so my mom can use it.
