A look back on popular stories from today in a specific year.
Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.
Maybe Motorola should focus on it's rapidly dying phone division?
That's what they're doing... testing the white space for cellular devices...
Motorola always has been a racist company.... White Space..
What's next, Ivory Magazine and W.E.T. cable channel?
Man, you're almost as bad as that black hole guy in legislation.
Talk about over-sensitivity.
WHITE HOLES, DAMNIT, WHITE HOLES.
WE MUST PROTECT THE INNOCENT FROM THOSE DAMNED RACIST SCIENTISTS.
... you'd think people in power would have a better understanding of basic principles of space, but hey... I guess you can be a douche and be rich too.
UGLY
What's Ugly? Please tell me you don't think that phone is.....Moron
well it is
the article is not about an old moto phone its about white space devices.
' "It worked as well as we said it would," said Motorola's Steve Sharkey. '
How well did they say it would work...? Poorly?
The phone simply displays the message "Working as intended"
Assume FOX viewing positions
I almost had a heart attack when I saw this posting. I have that exact same phone, an ex and I bought it at the same time years ago, and BOTH BROKE A WEEK APART FROM EACH OTHER, after the warranty expired!
I HATE Motorola's charge connector, it's like 3 or 4 loose pins that clamp onto the contacts on the phone, and they break or blow out all the time, rendering the phone unchargeable.
Anyone want to buy two blown out phones? They've been sitting in a drawer and work perfectly, you just CAN'T CHARGE THEM...
...this has NOTHING to do with that phone
Ahh the Moto A630. Sold like hotcakes. Had the whole candybar/full qwerty thing going for it well before the LG 9800.
i would rather to by a sidekick!!
Do people actually read the news items? It's about testing out a new technology not an ancient phone that is pictured only to show the static on the screen...
Robotochan: "Do people actually read the news items? "
But dear Robotochan: Why read the news? Isn't it ever so much more fun to just make up something, and then comment on that?
The 'whitespace' idea will turn out, I believe, to be important. The need for ever more spectrum space for communication will make it so.
I did, however, find the statement "It worked as well as we said it would," juxtaposed with a creen of video noise quite humorous. Or unnerving, whichever one one cares to think!
what i do
What you do? You fail at commenting, apparently.
Also, long-range high speed wireless FTW! Maybe moto can save it's own ass!
Well.... there goes the price of weed again
What does Motorola do before they design a new phone, consult the book of ugly?
Looks like that thing snow crashed... Don't look at it!
"Snow Crashed"? WTF are you talking abo... (looks)
(drools, falls out of chair)
*THUD*
/someone better tell Hiro.
So there you have it: proof positive that MIcrosoft truly has no clue where the hell they are. (they can't blame it on the tech now)
uhh ... that is the 2nd most ugly thing i have seen from moto.
the most ugliest-est (grammar?) would be those damn iridium satellite phones (for you younglings just tuning in to the World Wide Web, the word "iridium" at motorola is like saying the C-word at feminist symposium held inside a church on Mother's Day)
