That's the rumor that I hear. Sadly, because I've had Motorola cell
phones for the last 6 years. Before that was an analog Nokia on
Cellular One (pre-Stinkular/at&t).
Unfortunately, you have to have the best phone out there. Right now,
it isn't Motorola. Apple has the iPhone, Kyrocera has their knock off.
Others have the combo phone/keyboard hybrids. Samsung has been doing
well. LG as well.
But Motorola seems to be having problems. Granted, I want a PHONE, not
this combo computer thingie that the kids want these days. So that
doesn't bother me. But these days, its all what you can provide to the
rich kids and young adults who must have the latest and greatest.
Hope the rumor isn't true, but it doesn't look good either.
