not for cingular

every motorola i've owned and every one my friends have owned didn't work worth a crap! there is an exception to every rule, but statistically speaking motorola make terrible products. oh, and the cingular comment, we probably would have kept a lot of customers from leaving if they purchased a nokia or sony instead of the pretty over priced v3 that dropped calls. (i got two from work free and they both drop calls)
You and your friends are not statistics, maybe you just have bad coverage. 🤣
You and your friends are not statistics
but all the customers that brought them back into the store when i worked there are. we sold more nokias and motorolas than any other handset. a few nokias came back. a LOT of craporolas came back in! 😲maybe you just have bad coverage
if it was bad coverage, my 8525, w600, s710, 7100g, 6230, 8125, etc would ALL drop calls. they don't. nope, it's definitely suckorola! 😉
Right now I own a Motorola Ming and it is hands down the BEST phone I've ever had. Seriously. When I talk to people long distance on my cell phone, they are amazed; they can't believe I'm not a landline. And then when I do call them from a landline, they always remark that I sounded clearer on my Moto phone.
So I beg to differ, Moto phones are not crap. The fact that all of your friends have had bad experience with them leads me to believe that it's your network, and not your phone.
i'm glad you have a great experience with motorola. wonderful for you. that doesn't change the fact that their products are lower quailty than other manufactures. right now i use an...

However, what can be easily measured is the cost/features/value of a phone compared to others. At this, Motorola is clearly a loser - the phones they sell are barely on par with other manufacturers, and as is evidenced above, they're hardly worth the money that is demanded fo...

Motorola is moving less product than they have in years past? Sales are down? Marketshare dropping? Won't be too long before they're gone?
Motorola has GAINED marketshare through the 4Q quarter. Sales in the mobile devices unit were up 47% having moved more units than they ever have in history at nearly 66 million handsets. Revenue (the sum of money collected from all goods sold) was up 17%. They beat forecasts across the board on that level.
What dropped was PROFIT. The reason why you saw negative stories and an abandonment by some investors was PROFIT. Their profit margins on handsets dropped to nearly 4%, altogether raking in a "measely" $624 million in pr...

True that. Both Notorola and Nokia are well know for thier handsets, even more than LG or Sanyo if I may add; Ever since the RAZR was brought up with other carriers (i.e., Sprint), i have heard more complains about LG and Samsung phones than Motorola or even UTStarcom phones!

And dude, what's with the double post? You have to say it twice? Last time I checked, that doesn't make it more true (unless you're the President, apparently 😉 )
A drop in profit from 1 billion to 624 million is a big deal - that's roughly FOUR HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS, which is, let's see. . . almost half of their total profit. I used to work for a little company called AT&T wireless, and they were hemmoraging profit just as badly, and, well, you know the rest.
The market share stuff is debatable - I'm g...

I wouldn't go as far as calling you a liar, just mis-informed.
But kudos, raulr - criticize me for being misinformed, that's much better.

Exactly. I agree, I think you were just misinformed however, I do agree with you 110% about their lineup. They are far from the Startac days although the RAZR has taken off. I could care less about Motorola anyway. To me, it's junk. Always have, always will. I roll my eyes everytime I see some dork with a RAZR. The most overrated POS I have ever seen. I cringe everytime I have to sell one. There is so much better people, really. 🙄
But anyway don't take $hit from these lame a$$ Motorola fanboys. Anyone who uses "pwned" and "n00b" and "STFU" has no credibility whatsoever. All because you surf PhoneScoop several...

But I'd be careful about criticizing people who use this site - I'm stuck at a desk for 7 hours of my work day, often with nothing to do but browse the net. That doesn't mean I have no life - as a matter of fact, I'm married with a daughter, so I've had sex at least once. 😛 😉
And I was using 1337 ironically, as do most 1337 users.
