The music player and FM radio also got top billing being judged better than some stand-alone MP3 players. The price point is not aimed at high-end multi-media phones, so in its own segment it should make a big splash. Also some people do not want to pay for a data plan. Wi-fi is free and can be used to surf the web in pubs, coffee houses and using ones home network. Motorola didn't just try, I think this one's a winner.

Motorola didn’t just try, I think this one’s a winner.

Give it a splash of purple and it should sell as much as the razr did!" Is Motorola actually still trying, or are they just putting things together in a desperate attempt to stay somewhat relevant? Or are they simply no longer competitive now that consumers expect their phones to work properly, not break every month, and have thought behind the design? “Hey guys, let’s build a phone by throwing in a bunch of stuff that sounds cool but isn’t really, a bit of outdated network technology, and Wifi.

But, oh, that's right, it's Moto.
