I agree USA cars are a bad joke...

the only car that they made that was decent was the Buick Regal with the Turbo (aka Grand National) and they killed it off becuase fat ugly slobs were pissed because they were getting their arse handed to them when they bought the corvette. (also the Trans AM did that too)

You must not be up to snuff on the Ford & GM cars of the last 3 years.

But Engadget is a funny place, here we see a happy face, even though the company is doing poorly.

But when Nokia posts a profit, Engadget does a fox-news kind of journalism and twist the facts, puts an image of an N97 with blood finger prints and hints that things are very dire...

Come on guys, be more partial... Just like in the Steve Jobs comments about openess of Flash, where is the jabs you guys throw at MS for example?]]>Apr 29th 2010 1:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/29/motorola-posts-another-tiny-quarterly-profit-phone-division-not/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/29/motorola-posts-another-tiny-quarterly-profit-phone-division-not/Apr 29th 2010 12:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/29/motorola-posts-another-tiny-quarterly-profit-phone-division-not/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/29/motorola-posts-another-tiny-quarterly-profit-phone-division-not/Apr 29th 2010 1:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/29/motorola-posts-another-tiny-quarterly-profit-phone-division-not/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/29/motorola-posts-another-tiny-quarterly-profit-phone-division-not/
No no, Motorola actually invented the cellphone, not just the market with the RAZR... the Motorola DynaTAC]]>Apr 29th 2010 4:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/29/motorola-posts-another-tiny-quarterly-profit-phone-division-not/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/29/motorola-posts-another-tiny-quarterly-profit-phone-division-not/Apr 29th 2010 12:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/29/motorola-posts-another-tiny-quarterly-profit-phone-division-not/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/29/motorola-posts-another-tiny-quarterly-profit-phone-division-not/
Right now, unless you are HTC, its very hard to keep up with the pace of Android. Their best best is to make hardware that is going work well on Android and stick their software developers with that group to make sure all the new versions get on their hardware as fast as possible.

I love my Droid. Its a great phone. Great hardware and a great feel. I hope they do well.]]>Apr 29th 2010 2:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/29/motorola-posts-another-tiny-quarterly-profit-phone-division-not/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/29/motorola-posts-another-tiny-quarterly-profit-phone-division-not/Apr 29th 2010 12:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/29/motorola-posts-another-tiny-quarterly-profit-phone-division-not/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/29/motorola-posts-another-tiny-quarterly-profit-phone-division-not/Apr 29th 2010 12:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/29/motorola-posts-another-tiny-quarterly-profit-phone-division-not/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/29/motorola-posts-another-tiny-quarterly-profit-phone-division-not/
It's a huge drop to a point that many European and as far as i have understood some Asian countries don't even have Motorola phones available from retailers anymore.

I do have to congratulate Moto for taking into Android. We have to admit, ugly or not, Moto has been consistently pouring options into the Android Market. I will go as far as to say that Moto and HTC are the major contributors into Android's success. I do want to see the Green Robot suceeed so he can continue doing this dance:

You do have to say 'ack' after seeing any new Moto android phone. They just don't have design skills. I think the Droid must have been a great fluke after seeing how much crap they are making. ]]>Apr 29th 2010 1:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/29/motorola-posts-another-tiny-quarterly-profit-phone-division-not/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/29/motorola-posts-another-tiny-quarterly-profit-phone-division-not/
Motorola may well be a one-trick pony with the Droid with nothing else worthy of note. Hey, at least we got one killer phone from them before Moto shrinks back to irrelevancy.]]>Apr 29th 2010 1:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/29/motorola-posts-another-tiny-quarterly-profit-phone-division-not/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/29/motorola-posts-another-tiny-quarterly-profit-phone-division-not/
But the DROID is already obsolete.

Who would actually prefer a DROID over an HTC EVO 4G? IT is a total non-contest, especially with Verizon users also getting the Incredible. ]]>Apr 29th 2010 1:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/29/motorola-posts-another-tiny-quarterly-profit-phone-division-not/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/29/motorola-posts-another-tiny-quarterly-profit-phone-division-not/
I am perfectly comfortable with buying a phone and having a better phone come out a month to two months later. In Verizons case the better phone for their network took 6 months. I will happily wait another 6 months so I can get a new phone and I can't wait to see whats available then!]]>Apr 29th 2010 2:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/29/motorola-posts-another-tiny-quarterly-profit-phone-division-not/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/29/motorola-posts-another-tiny-quarterly-profit-phone-division-not/Apr 29th 2010 2:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/29/motorola-posts-another-tiny-quarterly-profit-phone-division-not/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/29/motorola-posts-another-tiny-quarterly-profit-phone-division-not/Apr 30th 2010 3:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/29/motorola-posts-another-tiny-quarterly-profit-phone-division-not/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/29/motorola-posts-another-tiny-quarterly-profit-phone-division-not/

Yes, 2,3 Million, that is seriously awful.

Considering Apple sold 8 million smart phones in the last quarter, I think Mot is definitely in the top five having sold 1/3 as many as Apple coming from a cold start. Got any links for proof?
