Five Reasons Why Motorola Isn't a Bad Phone Brand After All

5. It's a Hell Cheaper - Most Motorola phones are cheaper yet are as reliable as other phone brands. They also depreciate quickly, once the V6 Maxx was PhP21,000, then it got to Php 13,000 in just 3 weeks. Cool.

4. Design - Most of you don't know that many of Nokia, Sony Ericsson and other phone brands copied some of Motorola's designs, like the laser-etched keypad of the RAZR V3. The V3's overall design was even incorporated to the N72, the NSeries fashion phone. Sorry guys, but this is the truth. Motorola thinks of its own designs, so that's why they are the most fashionable of all brands.

3. Mod-ability and Simplicity - Believe it or not, all Motorola phones are easily modified. Even 5 year olds can create "skins" or themes of their phones. Why? Almost all Moto phones are so simple in their interface, the system files can be tinkered and improved drastically. I personally am one of the MotoModders. I added new themes, made the volume higher, and improved my camera quality easily; learning to mod is easy as 1-2-3.

2. Market Strategy - Motorola is a leader in marketing its phones, encouraging multiple artists such as the Black Eyed Peas to endorse their products. Many of the Moto advertisements are catchy and focus on style and finesse to win customers worldwide. It also lets people decide on what to buy through live tutorials and product demonstrations.

1. Pioneering Technology - The best of all reasons: Motorola pioneered many of the technologies and products we all usually don't even care who invented it. It made the first mobile phone call, first practical cellphone, first walkie-talkie in the world, among various others. Also, Motorola is not only making phones, it is also focusing in the defense industry, electronics, microprocessing, and cellular infrastructure equipment. Practically, WITHOUT MOTOROLA, THE MOBILE PHONE INDUSTRY WILL NEVER EXIST. Period.

Motorola and Kodak WILL KICK A** 2008

Moto and Kody joined forces to beat their competitors in the mobile phone and camera market. They got too sick and tired of being fourth place. Let's see:

Fergal Donovan, marketing director of Motorola, presented the newly leaked devices with allure: "The Motorola Skarven will become the new flagship of Motorola. Eight megapixel cameras and optical zoom will be the main points of Motorola in 2008. The Motorola Skarven will be a kick-slider, just as the Motorola RIZR Z8", so says Fergal Donovan. Funny at the presentation was the codename of the Motorola Texel, when questioning this device with Fergal Donovan, he told us the following: "The Motorola Texel is not a name that is chosen regarding our visit to Amsterdam. It is more related to the 'Morph technology' that the device is equipped with."

Motorola Skarven
The Motorola Skarven could be Motorola's extremely feared multimedia monster. As we can see from the photos of the presentation is that the device will offer an immensely large display at which high-quality photos and videos can be viewed. It could be that the eight megapixel camera, which Fergal Donovan of Motorola's marketing section mentioned as main point for the future, will be integrated into the Motorola Skarven.The Motorola Skarven will be placed in the newly presented "Zoom" section. This new Motorola Flagship could become a good competitor of other megapixel phones. The display will offer 16 millioen colours and will probably be a touchscreen.

Motorola X Pixl
The Motorola X Pixl will also be placed in the "Zoom" series. This candybar device will be made for the middle section of the market and it will offer a 5 megapixel camera, which will be produced by Kodak. The cooperation between Motorola and Kodak became clear in May this year and the American manufacturer cofirmed the cooperation again this week.

Motorola Texel
The Motorola Texel will be a real music phone and due to this it will be placed in the "ROKR" section. The Motorola Texel will be equippe with the same "Morpt technology" as the recently announced Motorola ROKR E8, at which nine layers of numbers, letters and symbols are placed on top of each other and can change functions due to this technology.The Motorola Texel has touch-sensitive keys and will be equipped with a 3.5 mm headset jack with which the owner can use his own headset in order to enjoy music.

Motorola Genghis
For the "Multi Q / Ming" series, Motorola showed her Genghis candybar this week. The Genghis will not focus on the real businessman but more on the messaging addict that wants to type long and quick messages. The Motorola Genghis is characterized by design and colour usage. The appearance of the candybar is quite modern, as is the colour usage. The Motorola Genghis will probably come to the market in several colours, as we have seen earlier with other devices.


It is clear that Motorola is busy designing new devices. The quarter of new devices will probably be launched at different moments in 2008 and they will reach the shops at the second quarter of 2008.

So, what do you say? Post your comments on the CBox comrades and have a nice day. Commander out.
