Too little, too late?Personally I've found most Motorola phones to be lagging significantly behind the times, not just in terms of the software but in the hardware design as well. After the initial success of the RAZR it seems they decided to forgo most other designs and focus specifically on that one. I liked my RAZR initially but I'm so over the flat metallic keyboard, the poor battery life, etc. If they want to succeed they need to not only support Android fully but they need to come out with a whole new generation of phones that aren't based on their past models.

Motorola has been saying for a while now that they want to create an android phone that had the same impact as the razor. It IS black and white either you join Android or be crushed!

I don't plan on ever owning a motorolla phone again, but thank god for this; their UI was the worst I've ever used. I would say first moto then, then nokia, LG, samsung nd finally apple from worst to best of the top manufacturers.

Motorola is such a f*ckedcompany. They are banking on a "social network phone" to save them. WTF is that? First off, Social network is an application on a smartphone (e.g. iPhone) and doesnt need a dedicated phone. What Fortune 500 executive is going to clamor of for a social network phone? None of them. The Digg and under-20's demographic buy sexy Apple products and not Motorola.<a class="user" href="http://www.f-ckedcompany.com">http://www.f-ckedcompany.com</a>
