haha..wow.

for some reason i dont beleive that.

but for future reference, when a Cell Phone Manufacturer sells out, The manufacturer that theve sold out too doesnt change the branding and what not for almost a full year so the company can finish releasing phones that in this case Motorola has already designed and payed for and all that junk.

Why would Sony want to buy yesterday's news.LOL

Motorola has run out of ideas. They made fashion statements not phones. The MPX220 was the worst "smartphone" I ever bought. The RAZR's are all flash (old flash at that) and no substance.

They should have stayed with the StarTac. That was their last great phone.

That was the last great Motorola Phone.

After that form over function became the rule. And it worked...go figure. I guess the RAZR made fat people feel slim.

I don't understand the hate for Motorola. I have had several Motorola phones and have never had any major issues. I have had the L7 SLVR, RAZR V3xx and V555. They were/are all great phones. The Q9 is awesome as well. I understand that Moto has made some mistakes in the past (V180 and mass V3 issues), but they aren't that bad.

The only thing moto did right was revolutionize the idea of a thin phone. They sold so many razors with that idea. But they never evolved, stuck with the Razor for way too long and it ended up being their demise.

I actually tried that phone for one day and took it back. I could not believe there was no contact manager on such a big screen ONly phone numbers and name, No addresses, and other personal information. I liked the thin phone becasue I carry my phones in pockets

I understand now they have a great Manager and are better but for the money the N82 creams it in features, I would get one for a back up if it were cheap enough. The T637 is gwtting old.
