Were Motorola actually the first to make car radios? --Zilog Jones 10:38, 25 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] How many different versions of the motorola razr are there?

does any one know how many different versions of the motorola razr are there? I looked on http://www.motorola-razr.org and found 3. Is their any more that I don't know of? Maybe ones that only celebrities have.

current ones are being refered to as V3 (version 3). Realize that the 'ones that only celebrities have' are only different in the color of the housing, not the 'guts'. 136.182.2.221 19:59, 6 January 2006 (UTC)emb021

[edit] an answer

As of Dec 16 2005, there are:

• the original silver
• black
• magenta (pink)
• ice blue (coming soon if not out yet)
• Some crazy gold-colored Dolce-Gabbana (spelling probaby wrong) edition phone which will be high-priced and exclusively available in Europe at specialty stores
• CDMA RAZR (all others are GSM), a slightly darker shade of silver, I believe

These don't distinguish hardware revisions or feature upgrades. For instance, I believe newer silver RAZRs have upgraded cameras or additional features as compared to the first models.

Note: the site you mention above is not an official Motorola site and the info is probably not reliable. It's just some guy in Texas, probably trying to get some ad dollars. See the whois record:
http://www.whois.net/whois.cgi2?d=motorola-razr.org

At present, there are no "celebrity"/promo models that are not available to the public. (For instance, the Black RAZR was at first given only to Oscar nominees, but is now widely available.)

[edit] How many different Motorola Razr?

How many different Razr phone are out there? I have looked into www.romeohifi.com site and they have Black Razr V3,Pink Razr V3,Silver Razr V3,Cosmec Blue Razr V3,Lite Blue Razr V3,Gold Razr V3,Magenta Razr V3,Lite Pack,Half Pack,Full Pack,Flashable,Non Flashable (different verision software)and more.

The moterola DynaTAC x8000 was the first mobile hand held phone.

[edit] Weasel word

OBSERVER is marked as a weasel word. though, the sentence subject is MARKET SHARE, so i do believe that it is the correct term, no? i don't even know another word for market observers.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.192.201.227 (talk • contribs) 02:24, 6 March 2007

You need to provide a citation for exactly which market observers have made that statement. —Elipongo (Talk|contribs) 10:07, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] has anyone noticed?!

The Motorola Logo looks like a Butt pissing outward like a rocket. Can anywone write a reference to this in the article? 156.3.163.99 15:38, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

I always thought it looked like a stylized letter "M". I guess it can have an effect similar to a Rorschach inkblot test in evoking subconscious thoughts in some people.—Elipongo (Talk|contribs) 19:18, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

It's really funny, i was laughing my ass off when i read this guy's discovery. Seriously, though, someone should put it in the article. Masterhand10^{(Talk)(Contributions)} 05:12, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

I'd vote against that. Besides the fact that it would add nothing constructive to the article, it counts as original research. —Elipongo (Talk|contribs) 02:57, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

Batwing M was a comment I saw at one time in an electonics magazine shortly after they abopted the (then New) logo. cmacd 16:17, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

HAHAHAHA! It's still funny, everytime i look at my Moto v176, i laugh at the little insignia on my phone! But you're right, it's not wikipedia material. Masterhand10^{(Talk)(Contributions)} 06:17, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Expand

We need more 2way radio info. We also need info on Quik call 1 and 2. Thedjatclubrock :) 10:13, 16 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] This is a very poor representation of the company

No comment about products, no comment about market share, no comment about lay offs, no comment about reputation...Perhaps anything posted on this site is deleted the same day (was deleted by Kansascitygold). This page is not worth calling upNighthawkx15 07:01, 27 October 2007 (UTC)Hawk

[edit] "Kansas City Gold Wireless" section

Please forgive me if I'm misunderstanding something, but the article says: "...without the nagging gotcha's that the other phone companies do." What on earth is a "nagging gotcha"? 86.148.213.194 (talk) 23:33, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

• I wouldn't expect an answer, I don't know either. If an answer is forthcoming it is likely to involve some pompous wikipedia editor telling you all about how this is a wiki and you need to add and research this yourself. Funny how the books on my shelf never do that. 69.137.246.61 (talk) 14:51, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Vandalism

A user at IP address 198.189.184.252 has vandalized this page a couple of times today. Should we lock the page or the user? (If so, how?) - Johnlogic (talk) 18:13, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
