They spent the last 5 years working on a device to travel back in time to the release of the RAZR. They have failed.]]>Feb 3rd 2009 4:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/03/motorola-posts-3-6b-loss-as-devices-sales-fall-by-26-percent/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/03/motorola-posts-3-6b-loss-as-devices-sales-fall-by-26-percent/Feb 3rd 2009 12:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/03/motorola-posts-3-6b-loss-as-devices-sales-fall-by-26-percent/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/03/motorola-posts-3-6b-loss-as-devices-sales-fall-by-26-percent/Yeah...Moto is not doing so hot. I think that the competition is killing off Moto. Competition is good for consumers but not always for companies that either can't keep up with the times or do not want to 'innovate'. Technologically speaking, it's a whirlwind of an atmosphere right now. At one time, the iPhone was THE standard to beat, now even it is scrambling to match up with the likes of touchscreen sybmian OS (N97/5800) and even the up and coming Palm Pre. I am personally waiting to see how the Palm Pre pans out and possibly get the unlocked GSM version.]]>Feb 3rd 2009 2:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/03/motorola-posts-3-6b-loss-as-devices-sales-fall-by-26-percent/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/03/motorola-posts-3-6b-loss-as-devices-sales-fall-by-26-percent/The Razr was popular, IN AMERICA, but it's UI was made of mud and poop.]]>Feb 3rd 2009 3:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/03/motorola-posts-3-6b-loss-as-devices-sales-fall-by-26-percent/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/03/motorola-posts-3-6b-loss-as-devices-sales-fall-by-26-percent/Feb 3rd 2009 3:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/03/motorola-posts-3-6b-loss-as-devices-sales-fall-by-26-percent/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/03/motorola-posts-3-6b-loss-as-devices-sales-fall-by-26-percent/Feb 3rd 2009 5:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/03/motorola-posts-3-6b-loss-as-devices-sales-fall-by-26-percent/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/03/motorola-posts-3-6b-loss-as-devices-sales-fall-by-26-percent/Feb 3rd 2009 6:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/03/motorola-posts-3-6b-loss-as-devices-sales-fall-by-26-percent/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/03/motorola-posts-3-6b-loss-as-devices-sales-fall-by-26-percent/Feb 3rd 2009 7:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/03/motorola-posts-3-6b-loss-as-devices-sales-fall-by-26-percent/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/03/motorola-posts-3-6b-loss-as-devices-sales-fall-by-26-percent/

werd. it's like the moto engineers have no clue what crap they put out in the past 4 years.
-------------------------

My friend the engineers have no control of what bad decisions upper mgt makes plain and simple.
When Brown took over, MD was already hurting badly....instead of shutting down LJ group wich was behind by a year and half, and also shutting down other platforms he didnt do a single thing, instead he brought Sanjay to do that for him...

On top of all this manure...they decided to have lay off after lay off 4k, people here, 7k, people there...and yet they still push for engineers to meet the deadlines to ship the products on time.

MOST of the people laid off where from the U.S. the job was shipped over seas and they expected these organizations to pick up the slack right away wrong!!!...

Now look who is paying for those decisions...not brown, or the managers, is the engineers...

Thats the only thing Motorola is known for now is how to lay people off...

Now I saw this and I chuckle: http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/31/motorola-zn300-looks-possibly-okay-sort-of/

Heres the honest truth this phone is a piece of crap is based off p2k platform using a TI Processorr.The hardware is made by a 3rd party vendor, and maybe 5-15% of the code was made develop here in the US..rest contractors....when I tested this phone 3 weeks ago with the latest SW build it was slow, UI was sluggish and there were issues with call processing......

I would not be using this phone even if someone gave it to me for free...and yes we all told Management 6 months ago this phone was hidious....meh am out of that pit of vipers.


sorry for the wall of text, and no I will not be buying into their whole Andriod campaign, not when theyre sacrificing quality..something they have been doing for the past 8+ years.]]>Feb 4th 2009 2:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/03/motorola-posts-3-6b-loss-as-devices-sales-fall-by-26-percent/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/03/motorola-posts-3-6b-loss-as-devices-sales-fall-by-26-percent/
