Can't we just kill off the company now and save us all the hassle and drama?
Let me run through Motorola's development team idea list since it's origin:
1. Motorola Tough Talker 2. Bag Phones 3. Bag Phones with very insignificant menu and button changes 4. Brick Phone 5. Smaller Brick Phone 6. HUGE Flip Phone (DP-550 if you're curious) 7. Get Smaller flip phones and candybar phones for a few years while they try to fend off Nokia 8. Crap - fast forward about 10 years through this phase 9. RAZR 10. Pink RAZR 11. Other RAZR variants 12. ? 13. um... *MORE* RAZR variants 14. ? 15. cry 16. 8MP camera phone
Motorola cell phone's contact handling sucks. The features and applications are minimal and sucky at best. And you know what, they haven't done anything "NEW" since the RAZR. Sure, theyv'e made them shinier and longer then shorter then wider, but they are just like LAST YEAR'S RAZR but slightly different. It's like offering a station wagon last year and the same station wagon with wood grain stickers on the side this year and scratching your head why nobody wants the NEW one. Next year's station wagon has a raccoon tail on the antenna!
It's sad that the once great Motorola is choking because of the lack of effort, creativity, and understanding of the ever changing markety on their R&D team. Fire them all, hire some young phone nerds and they may have a chance. Obviously, this team has been scraping the bottom of the barrel for a while.
I recently emailed the new CEO about their phone troubles and haven't heard back. Too bad, I'm in Schaumburg all week right across the road from their office. As a side note, I noticed they have plenty of parking. ;)
Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.
