Moto is good for the market and good for the end user. We are all well aware of their handset shortcomings over the past few years. However, they have a pretty good end-user hold in the United States, and this may just prove to be their salvation. Bring to market a solid, up-to-market phone, at an affordable price, and the normobs who own the RAZR may just embrace it... I do not believe you can count them out just yet-close, but not yet. I am hoping for some kind of turn-around in 2009 for them that just keeps enough fuel in the fire to keep them going. I still believe Moto has an outside chance.

What makes me sad is, UIQ ended in these 2 incomponent companies hands and that great Symbian touchscreen interface has gone away. I was trying to help a UIQ2 (Mot A1000) user and I was amazed that Motorola, vendor of the smart phones tries to SELL "PC Suite" type of application, at least its updates. That is plain amazing.

Laziness like that is guaranteed to take a company down; quickly. IMHO Moto sealed it’s fate when they decided to equip the Razr with a UI straight from the 80′s.
