I have to say that I moved away from Motorola a few years ago, mainly because the motos started to lack features compared to the rivals like, they had poor quality cameras, small internal memory and the styling went a little awry.

However, the important part of all these gadgets (the phone bit) on all my previous Motorola phones were second to none, the quality of the voice call still surpasses some of the phones out now. They certainly put my Magic to shame when it comes to making a call!

Let's see whether Moto manages to screw up an Android phone.

That's probably hard to do, but I am fairly confident that they are able to manage even that.

I'd rather pay 50 bucks more for the same feature list rather then buy a Motorola phone.

I had two Moto-phones:
The first one ("The Bone") which was good.
And the last one which convinced me to never look at any mobile phone product from Motorola again.

Regardless of how good the new Android phone looks on paper - I won't buy it. No thank you.
