As an ex-Motorolan (1998-2008), I sometimes look at what remains of the big mighty company and there is not much.

Here in Europe it is even less, at least in the US you see the umpires (or somebody else, not sure as I fo not know baseball) with their half-headsets with the Motorola logo.

It is a shame, I liked this company very much.

One of the best books I have read in recent years, somehow immensely relevant now: _Eccentric Orbits: The Iridium Story_ by John Bloom, that explores exactly what went wrong, the bankruptcy filing and so on. I wonder if you might find your experiences reflected there.

I just made the same recommendation before I saw yours. Great book.

Our big Canadian oligopoly telecom sold their land mobile radio division to Motorola for some hundreds of millions of dollars, so I guess they still do stuff?

Just got a Motorola phone and I love it. 3.5mm audio jack and cheap.

Not a knock against your phone, but different company. Lenovo now owns and makes the cell phone line.

Motorola Solutions, the successor of the original Motorola, does the headsets/radios and such.

I know, I still wanted to mention it.

My mobile is a Motorola as well!
