| Clarification? I thought Motorola was getting out of the cell phone handset business?

Or does this device not count at as cell phone, but rather a PDA which happens to have cell phone functionality? -- "At the moment of conception." | |

| Re: Clarification? The plan was to split Motorola into two companies, one of which would solely be the handset unit and the other would be everything else. The hope was that someone would buy the handset division of Motorola off of them for some money, but with the financial markets being what they are I don't think anyone's going to be buying a risky debt-ridden struggling cellphone company anytime soon (they are still the best-selling handset company in the US, but not profitable), so I don't know if Moto is still planning on the split. | |

| lower expectations the bar for "smart phones" is so low, that anything released by companies is great stuff.. bad thing is with the economy the way it is, dont' expect big sales numbers especially with a fat profit margin earned on each handset... along the lines of how Apple gouges its customers. | |

TRENTON, N.J. A man who fell asleep in a trash container awoke inside a garbage truck that was about to compact its load but was saved after making a frantic cell phone call to police, authorities said. ... "He's not homeless but is unemployed and trying to make ends meet," Pousak said. "If I was him I would go to church and play the lottery, because today was his lucky day." -- "I love mankind. It's people I can't stand."

| yuck I would wait like a year before I decided to go with another motorola. The last two phones I had from them have been crap. My razr sucked and I went through three of them then I got the Sidekick slide they make and it has horrible battery issues and turns off and on randomly. For the foreseeable future I won't be purchasing anything from motorola. | |

My 1st razr is still going, used by my wife. I use a krzr every day - never had a problem. I've had Moto cellphones for years - iDEN, CDMA, GSM, TDMA, analog(!). The only one that every crapped on me was dropped onto the concrete driveway very hard.
