Review: These comments below, though somewhat true, are just from people looking to bash for the sake of bashing. Motorola is clearly making grounds to redeem the market share it lost years ago to Nokia. Nokia got its edge due to style and now with its Symbian OS, which admittedly is better than any other manfacturer's out there. RazR, RokR, and now Q, along with other product lines I'm sure are a testament to the company's committment to remain "cutting-edge," at least in terms of style and user-friendliness. The article makes it clear that style and design first, engineering later. For better or worse, it has caused a "buzz" in this icon of cellular phones. What would the critics prefer? Stay tehchnologically advanced but no design or style and continue to not sell these phones? People will just find a reason to criticize anything. Go Moto!

Review: Beyond looks the Razr is a miserable phone. The OS is five years old and the sync software does NOT work as advertised.

Review: Unfortunately, Motorola has a bad track record with releasing Microsoft powered phones: Motorola MPx100 totally canceled and Motorola MPx canceled before it arrived to Europe and USA. Potential is big but if Motorola delays Motorola Q as it delayed Motorola MPx220 and other models then chances are low, particularly because Nokia already sells smartphones for UMTS/3G networks and Motorola doesn't have them even in plans yet!

Review: I don't understand these comments about particular products. "Success won't come from one phone, no matter how slick." Motorola is doing very good with the Razr and this particular product is helping the company to recover. Something revolutionary is expected too with the Q. Anyway, the point is how 'companies are increasing their emphasis on creativity and innovation,' and Motorola and its leader, Ed Zander, are pioneers of this movement.

Review: Motorola must use the Rim software for the "pushed e-mail" and triple des encryption. With Rim software you do have to log on and wait to download. Triple des encryption has never been broken.

Review: Let's face it, Motorola got lucky with the Razr. The Razr has an incredible design, but unfortunately the user interface is terrible.
The Q could have been a spectacular product, but instead it will be a relative non-starter due to the boneheaded inclusion of Windows Mobile. Windows Mobile? Windows is the direct cause of so much misery in the world, so why on earth would I want Windows on my cell phone?
And those sunglasses? Please. There must be some other way to waste $300 to look like a jerk.
The SLVR and PEBL look rather interesting, though.
They should fire whoever came up with that idiotic video-phone idea. Come ON!

Review: Is this article supposed to make me believe that the products currently making Motorola profitable were not developed on Lynch's watch?
Wow, do you guys ever underestimate your readers. This article slams the guy who made the changes in the Motorola cell phone division happen. Looks like his resignation was a smart move. Zander is one thunder-stealing executive.

Review: I saw the Razor Phone on Motorola's Web site months before it came out. As soon as it was available I paid $500 for the phone and could not be happier about it. It will be the same with the Q. I am already lined up to purchse one. GO MOT.

Review: Being a 24-year Motorolan, I have been waiting for years for a "Zander." Even though I am on disablity I am as excited as the current workers.
