The software, motorola became bad at software. (their phones were first to come with itunes, they paved the way for iphones to get sold today ) then they released a crappy itunes model that no one liked, and soon apple made their own killer. Motorola went ahead making phones that always lacked something. Putting low end cameras on high end phones and vice versa, many other good phones missing 3g, those that had had poor cameras. Now they are back at it. The DXTR (CLIQ for Tmobile) is a low end phone(that is what they said, for teenagers). It is the first amongst other 3 phones expected to be announced before year end. Most probably it is the one once code named calgary. Lets wait for the code name sholes and see what is their definition of high end. Their androids have a highly customised layer running on top of the android, called the moto blur. That is what they are counting on, if they mix it with the right hardware On 14/09/2009, Josiah Mugambi <jmugambi@gmail.com> wrote:

I have been following phone news lately - mainly because it affects 'us' one way or another--
When the Apple iphone first showed up, the phone manufacturers said "...The devices are too expensive, besides, our market share is much more,, it will take time to catch up.."
Two years later, the story changes, motorola and sony-e phones are on their way to the negative margins, mototola more on the negative... and Apple takes 20% of total mobile handset profits despite selling only 5.2 million units in the quarter... Not to mention that they are now one of the biggest media online sales company, churning sales in mp3 [lets go after wall mart], books [lets go after amazon] , apps etc
[nokia leads the pack though, at 50% with diverse handsets for all prices and uses]
Motorola has had to re-think its "smart phone" production as a way to hit back from below the x-axis to somewhere above it by relaunching this new device...
Will they make it ? What has Google Android and iPhone done right ?
