While the floundering handset once-juggernaut tries to fool itself and the public that a commendation for "teamwork" is as important as actually pumping out handsets that are worth anyone's time, it seems Motorola has proved, once again, that "the bigger they are, the harder they fall." Oh yes, Motorola was once huge. They were a global [...]

Motorola named by AT&T as outstanding supplier, highlights strength in teamwork

Sat, 21 Jun 2008 21:23:01 +0000

Apparently, Motorola has been named, by AT&T, as an "Outstanding Supplier," among 27 other companies, in "the area of teamwork." Had Motorola been named "Most Innovative," "Best in [...]

Mon, 19 May 2008 20:23:49 +0000

Thu, 24 Apr 2008 18:30:45 +0000

Just because the Motorola W755 isn't anywhere near the high-end of Motorola's handset portfolio doesn't mean it doesn't deserve a little attention.

Thu, 24 Apr 2008 18:05:43 +0000

While the higher-profile, and higher-end Motorola MotoZINE ZN5 has taken up more than its share of the limelight recently, the lesser-known MotoZINE ZN200 has been patiently waiting behind the scenes for its couple minutes of fame. That fame comes in a decidedly un-glamorous spec-leak, courtesy of a recently discovered User Agent Profile. According to the cryptically [...]
