I never liked their phones either. Maybe they are targeted only at women?

I still love my Razr. Best phone ever in my opionion. It just works and works well. And fits nicely in your pcket. If you just need a phone that works...This is it!

good news! they made crappy phones anyway.

and you know what is wrong with motorola fones - their user interface experience is horribly wrong (in my opinion) - go figure sony ericsson or apple in this department

The writing was on the wall with Nokia's latest earnings report. Cellular phones are increasingly becoming low margin commodities. While it is true that you may be able to sucker a few million into buying loaded "superphones" in their initial release year (iphone, n95, etc), after the first year, the prices are usually slashed, and in two years, those units themselves become commodities.

In the mature markets, we are at the point where people replace their phones at slower rates, meaning that profit growth must be driven by "emerging markets." News flash: Developing countries' citizens aren't buying $400 iphones. They're buying $40 handsets they can do voice and text with. Nokia recognized this and are making a killing in this segment. 

The game is over. Moto should bail on this low margin market.
