RAZR was their most hyped.
Droid Turbo was their best.

        my first motorola was E398,then i had v3i,z3,z6,v8,v9...now having nexus 6

          I kinda miss the android Razr from the list.
          Also since maybe the Moto X2 they've been going down in my opinion, especially since Lenovo bought them.

              My first phone was Motorola C168. I liked the ringtones & games in it. Can anyone tell me, how can I get the default ringtones of Motorola C168 to my new phone.

                Loved Motorola's designs. They had a CEO named Geoffrey Frost who wouldn't let them release a phone if you couldn't tell it's a Motorola from 10 feet / 3 meters away. I still have the MOTOFONE in original box, barely used, just because it was so cool and I'm keeping it in case of war because it can catch the signal where nothing else can. :-) Also used the V360 and V1075 for years and loved them, and in my collection I also have the C113 and the GLEAM. Good old days.

                      I loved the Motorola StarTAC, it was when a phone was still a Phone..
                      and not a zombies box.

                        I'm using a solid, solid Moto G5 Plus, my wife has a Moto E4 Plus, and my son has a Moto E4... we're thrilled with the near stock Android and the stable, solid performance. With the exception of a few duds, Motorola has always made solid products.

                          It is just a corporation. Let it die so others can take its crown.

                            Those were the day when phone designs is innovative, Now every phone company just compete against each other to be Iphone lookalike.

                              I owned the Moto G 1st & 2nd Gen and the Moto E 1st Gen. All of them were great phones for the price. The Moto G 1. Gen revolutionized the low segment phone market. Too bad Motorola doesn't exist anymore. I am curious how much is left of the former Motorola staff working at Lenovo.

How would you feel if your father died tomorrow? Will you think "Yeah that's normal, it's so that I can take his place". Do you live in the Middle Ages or what?

                                  Moto Razr i xt890. Best phone ever made,but of course now too old for practical use. They should update it.

                                    Just like the Taiwanese HTC dying to let their Chinese-son Huawei take their place.

                                      That Moto Aura round screen is quite bezel less in a sense. Btw, Droid branding is only for USA variant.
