I didn't include them in the list! Some of their phones support the
Qualcomm diagnostics protocols which means they must be using some
Qualcomms chips and software.

Word from the wise...never buy a just launch cell phone, especially
Motorola. They are rushed to market and guess who does the beta
testing?
If you look around on the handset there is likely a made in China
sticker.
I'm waiting for the Audiovox 9900, made in Japan. At least they own
quite a bit of the US.

A phone that was supposed to be released early last Spring, but not

There are pages at Phonescoop.com dedicated to the 9900. To say you
found nothing means you didn't look.

Did you actually type 9900 in the area at the top of the page where it
says "jump to a phone" and get nothing? Of course you didn't.
