Having a phone in your line with a 5MP camera is not the determining factor to the success of your company. Samsung overtook Motorola with a bunch of business phones and attractive slider phones, not N-series like phones. People on gsmarena laugh at the fashion phones, but those are what sell units for some of these companies. The LG Chocolate is no high tech phone, but that was a huge success for LG. The Prada is another over-priced phone that did really well for them. Without those phones the viewty and ks20 would not exist. Fashion phones move units.

Motorola dug it's own grave. They rode the success of the RAZR so long, that they didn't focus on any new cutting edges designs, or even the latest technology.
They only have, what, ONE phone with a 3.2MP camera, & NONE with a 5MP camera. They are falling waaay behind in the competition.
They are capable of making some very good handsets, but yet, have failed to release anything of real substance.
Look at the Z8...took ages to be released, & when it is, the Software is very laggy. I bet the Z10 will be an abomination as well, if it ever even sees the light of day.
They started on the right path with the RIZR Z6 & the ROKR Z8, but since then nothing has been too special.
Then they release the W230 & W270...both of em' don't even have cameras!!!!....What are you guys thinking MOTO??
These days, just about everybody wants some kind of camera in their handset. Even if it just a quality 1.3MP camera, put it in there for Christs sake. They took several steps backwards with these atrocities.
They are heading down the same path as Siemens. Siemens had very, very coll designs, but the Software was terrible.
I am not a huge fan of Motorola, nevertheless, I would still like to see them in the mobile phone market.
You know what you have to do Motorola, it's not that hard. Get some fresh ideas from your R&D team & make an effort.
Best of luck Motorola......

Motorola to Exit Cellphone Manufacturing!
Motorola cellphone industryAccording to Nomura International’s Richard Windsor, Motorola may be leaving the handset industry to concentrate on being and enterprise and government company. Moto announced a $388 million operating loss last year. According to Windsor, the problem is non-hardware but the software and platform on which Motorola phones operate.
It’s also unlikely a Chinese outfit will buy out Motorola’s handset division as no one has an idea how to bring it up to the time when Moto RAZR ruled.

HTC share of Windows Mobile smartphone segment declining
Daniel Shen, Taipei; Steve Shen, DIGITIMES [Tuesday 29 January 2008]
High Tech Computer (HTC) has lost the title as the global top ranking vendor of Windows Mobile-based smartphones (excluding touch-screen models), with its share of the segment falling to below 30% currently, trailing behind Motorola and Samsung Electronics, according to internal data from Microsoft.
Motorola, Samsung and HTC have been competing fiercely in the segment with each vendor accounting for a 20-30% share globally, with Motorola now leading the contest with a small margin, the data showed.
Previous data indicated that HTC topped the segment with a market share of over 50% in Microsoft's fiscal 2007 (from July 2006-June 2007).
However, HTC still retained the number one title in the Windows Mobile-based PDA phone segment, accounting for nearly a 50% share, according to the same data.
Palm was ranked second in the Windows Mobile PDA phone segment with a market share of over 10%, followed by Samsung and Asustek Computer with each accounting for less than a 10% share, the data indicated.
HTC is expected to see its share in the Windows Mobile PDA phone segment continue to erode since a number of vendors, including Motorola, Samsung, LG Electronics, Hewlett-Packard (HP), Palm, Asustek, E-Ten Information System and Gigabyte Communications, are all planning to launch touch-screen PDA phones, according to sources in Taiwan's handset industry.

IS this suposed to be true??????????
From the bestselling cellphone in history to the most ignominious departure of a CEO not related to any criminal behavior, Motorola's had a hell of a slide, but still, the latest speculation comes as a punch to the chin. Richard Windsor, an analyst with a firm called Nomura International, says that Moto may exit the handset business. On one hand, it could sell the division to Chinese investors, but on the other hand, not even the Chinese really know how to solve Moto's problems. What happened, Motorola? Seriously, what in hell happened?

Motorola WiMAX 802.16e CPEs will provide access to next generation wireless broadband in one of the fastest developing telecoms markets
LAHORE, Pakistan – 28 January 2008 – Motorola, Inc. (NYSE:MOT) today announced a contract with Wateen Telecom-Pakistan for the supply of 198,000 end-user WiMAX customer premises equipment (CPE) devices for both indoor and outdoor use.
Complementing Wateen Telecom’s nationwide WiMAX network which is built using Motorola’s award-winning 802.16e WiMAX and IMS solutions, the CPE units will provide subscribers in Pakistan with unprecedented wireless access to agile and affordable data and Voice over IP (VoIP) services in one of the world’s most rapidly-growing telecoms markets. The CPEs will provide consumers, small businesses and Pakistan’s largest enterprises access to wireless services, from basic telephony and fast internet access to high-end data services such as virtual private networks (VPN) for banks and other organizations.
“The availability of our WiMAX network is a major milestone for Wateen Telecom and for the telecommunications potential of developing economies. Our network puts Wateen at the global forefront of the WiMAX telecoms industry. Motorola’s capabilities to effectively deliver WiMAX 802.16e solutions and CPEs ahead of the industry and our early adoption of this technology has given us the opportunity to be the first to offer WiMAX 802.16e-based broadband voice and data services in Pakistan,” said Tariq Malik, chief executive officer, Wateen Telecom.
With Pakistan’s impressive growing economy and rising user demand for data access, Wateen Telecom-Pakistan anticipates a rapid demand for residential connections for its Motorola-based WiMAX broadband services during its first year of operation.
“Wateen Telecom’s nationwide WiMAX network is set to bring in a new era of connectivity and access for Pakistan. This initial CPE order, which enables subscriber access to the network for services from basic wireless telephony through to secure data connectivity for the country’s largest corporations, is part of the expansive WiMAX eco-system further demonstrating to other markets the reality and viability of WiMAX and Motorola’s ability to deliver” said Ali Amer, vice president sales, Middle East, Africa and Pakistan, Motorola Home & Networks Mobility.
In addition to one of the most comprehensive deployments of Motorola’s WiMAX/IMS core solution in the Middle East, North Africa and Pakistan region, Wateen also benefits from Motorola’s managed services expertise to focus critical resources on empowering efficiencies and keeping ahead of rapidly advancing technologies. With the network now operational, Motorola’s wi4 family of feature-rich award-winning CPE devices for WiMAX networks will enable consumers and businesses in Pakistan to plug in a device and receive an instant and reliable network connection.

Motorola Wi-Fi Phone Approved by FCC
posted Jul 2, 2004, 2:53 AM
The FCC today approved the Motorola CN620, the first phone capable of operating on both mobile and Wi-Fi networks. Although the phone was developed by Motorola's iDEN group, the phone supports only GSM and Wi-Fi networks. Voice calls started on Wi-Fi networks can be handed off to a GSM network. The reverse is possible only for certain types of calls. Features of the phone include a large color main display, an external display, speakerphone, eight-way navigation, and PTT (push-to-talk). Although the prototype approved by the FCC operates only on GSM networks, FCC documents reveal that the final model will support all three major types of Wi-Fi (802.11b, 802.11g, and 802.11a), as well as quad-band GSM.
