PDAs, Cellphones, Wireless Motorola split into two groups today in order to save their falling mobile business, but the real kicker is an insider's email that Engadget published. It has it all, from suicides to golf scores and how all that brought a giant down. Good afternoon reading, albeit sad. Update: My personal rant/editorial on the situation, describing the failure of Motorola to understand the importance of their EZX Linux-based phones and how this drove their business down.

I remember seeing motorola phones all over when I was a teenager (god, is that already more than a decade ago, i'm getting old faster than i want)

I don't think I've seen a Moto phone in belgium for the last 5 years, except for some razr's in the few months they were hot.

I remember my uncle getting a razr and giving it away because he hated it compared to blackberrys and nokias but that's about it

ugh, razrs are horrid phones. Still super popular in my region for some reason (I'm in the south in the USA). I hate the buggers.

Yup, In the US and in the US media razrs seem to be so prevalent, probably cos the mobile market in the US sucks so bad, hence why everybody was so excited by the iphone (its good,no doubt, but not that great).

here in europe, a couple of years ago everbody seemed to have razrs, but these days I don't see that many out and about.
