Title: Motorola cuts 50% of the staff Post by: Exploited on January 12, 2009, 10:37:18 am The Bulgarian television showed that Motorola corporation fired 50% of the employes today. Happily (for us) the mobile technologies sector is not very badly "damaged"...
The future plans for mobile phones will be around 10 new models per year... Title: Re: Motorola cuts 50% of the staff Post by: Joka X on January 12, 2009, 06:31:54 pm not dead yet.....
Title: Re: Motorola cuts 50% of the staff Post by: keaglez on January 12, 2009, 11:30:51 pm almost.... :( 10 new models every year is very small comparing to others....
Title: Re: Motorola cuts 50% of the staff Post by: Polar_BearXL on January 13, 2009, 12:40:31 am I miss those days when moto still one of the best, and the motto "hello moto" said by that stuffed cartoon animal (?) still swing around MTV
Looking at now, 50%????? not to mention the phone isn't that breakthrough as before :'( Title: Re: Motorola cuts 50% of the staff Post by: NiKSY on January 13, 2009, 01:42:22 am I thought that Moto is doing good again... :S
Title: Re: Motorola cuts 50% of the staff Post by: rAMa on January 13, 2009, 02:12:48 am yup if compare with others ....

Title: Re: Motorola cuts 50% of the staff Post by: Exploited on January 13, 2009, 12:49:25 pm not sure, but it will fall for sure...
Title: Re: Motorola cuts 50% of the staff Post by: Joka X on January 13, 2009, 07:47:25 pm to be fair, Moto i not the only one falling at this time..... lots of company is having trouble too......

Title: Re: Motorola cuts 50% of the staff Post by: Joka X on January 13, 2009, 11:07:47 pm yup......except for THIS COMPANY (http://kotaku.com/5130023/nintendo-once-again-reminds-us-why-its-so-successful) that is......
Title: Re: Motorola cuts 50% of the staff Post by: Polar_BearXL on January 14, 2009, 05:47:48 am Nintendo? oh come on, that company withstand almost everything every other company throw at him, when everyone thought that nextgen video game is about better hardware, it didn't only think out of the sandbox, but break the sandbox itself, making many creative and intuitive things, called it wii, DS.
all of it didn't consist a great and costy hardware, just some simple yet creative things, and i think because of that, it can stand the depression, NINTENDO NEVER WASTE HIS MONEY ONE EXPENSIVE THINGS, but he made great things based almost purely on creativity. and creativity only bring one cost, and that is worker and thinker monthly fee. Title: Re: Motorola cuts 50% of the staff Post by: Joka X on January 14, 2009, 06:40:19 am maybe Motorola should cooperate with Nintendo......maybe it'll call Motendo....... :P
Title: Re: Motorola cuts 50% of the staff Post by: Polar_BearXL on January 14, 2009, 07:00:52 am Motendo? or Nintenrola? sounds weird, anyway, i hope motorola can try to imitate what Nintendo do, try to make something not-soo-high-tech, but innovative and creative, we once did it with the V3 Reign, we just need to rethink about it again.
Title: Re: Motorola cuts 50% of the staff Post by: mfhrdnsw03 on January 14, 2009, 08:56:57 am yeah good phone, something like SLVR with e398 or e1 speakers, and without OS, cz this thing make the phone more expensive, maybe.
Title: Re: Motorola cuts 50% of the staff Post by: NiKSY on January 14, 2009, 02:19:56 pm Motendo? or Nintenrola? sounds weird, anyway, i hope motorola can try to imitate what Nintendo do, try to make something not-soo-high-tech, but innovative and creative, we once did it with the V3 Reign, we just need to rethink about it again. Its not reallly WE... xD But yeah, I would work for Motorola for free, just as long as they give me all new models... :) Title: Re: Motorola cuts 50% of the staff Post by: Joka X on January 14, 2009, 07:05:17 pm i would work for them for free if they let me design their phone :P
Title: Re: Motorola cuts 50% of the staff Post by: keaglez on January 14, 2009, 10:18:37 pm How about we try to make a concept phone? Then we send it to Motorola.... :D
Title: Re: Motorola cuts 50% of the staff Post by: mfhrdnsw03 on January 15, 2009, 12:06:29 am Yeah, that's good idea bro..., :)
Title: Re: Motorola cuts 50% of the staff Post by: mfhrdnsw03 on January 15, 2009, 12:06:42 am Yeah, that's good idea bro..., :)
Title: Re: Motorola cuts 50% of the staff Post by: NiKSY on January 15, 2009, 02:55:15 am We tried that ;) We were making E398i, I think that how we named it, and well, we sent like hundred of e-mails and never got a real reply... It was back on MotoModders...
Title: Re: Motorola cuts 50% of the staff Post by: keaglez on January 15, 2009, 03:33:49 am hmm... but i though there is some design that get replied from Motorola... It is in Motorola Fans I believe....even though, it is not used by them....
Title: Re: Motorola cuts 50% of the staff Post by: Joka X on January 15, 2009, 04:10:34 am why don't we try again.......LOL....
Title: Re: Motorola cuts 50% of the staff Post by: Polar_BearXL on January 15, 2009, 05:18:08 am I prefer a slide metal rizr like phone with Linux (a better montavista, or motomagx upgrade) hotswapable memory card slot, camera about 2mpx (so that it will target the mid-end market), great speaker, the Freescale Processor is fine, but we need more Ram and Rom, HSDPA or at least 3G, i don't need wifi.
This will be the mid end phone, i don't need crappy things like full finger touchscreen as it only be a fingerprint magnet Title: Re: Motorola cuts 50% of the staff Post by: Joka X on January 15, 2009, 05:21:46 am i need wifi, i don't want 3G......i want a phone that can make phone calls and send sms......
keaglez, start drawing!!! (since you bought something so cool...) ;D ;D Title: Re: Motorola cuts 50% of the staff Post by: huatz84 on January 15, 2009, 09:16:05 am I heard that the new EM35 is so loud with its dual speakers.Someone from Hongkong has bought it.It could be the next E398 although has a different form factor.
Also don't forget A3100.The rating at GSMArena is amazing.It could be an iPhone killer. Moto will raise up this year. Title: Re: Motorola cuts 50% of the staff Post by: tegezan on January 15, 2009, 03:56:17 pm hmm.. no 3G, no wifi, i just want a rokr e8 with 50% of price.. :p btw, a3100? how much it cost?
Title: Re: Motorola cuts 50% of the staff Post by: Joka X on January 15, 2009, 07:21:47 pm i want a new SLVR.......
Title: Re: Motorola cuts 50% of the staff Post by: keaglez on January 16, 2009, 12:59:16 am ok... i will design better next time.... lol
Title: Re: Motorola cuts 50% of the staff Post by: Joka X on January 16, 2009, 01:11:38 am looks familiar....E680?
EDIT> why did you name it stress..... Title: Re: Motorola cuts 50% of the staff Post by: Polar_BearXL on January 16, 2009, 01:19:45 am Yeah that is E680, but hey keaglez isn't better if we make a more like a stylish phone rather than a corporate looking phone?
Title: Re: Motorola cuts 50% of the staff Post by: Joka X on January 16, 2009, 01:58:26 am add some legs on it.....so that it can walk to us when the phone ring.....put a HUGE home theater audio system for best sound and make the screen 10 inch in HD.....ohohoh....put a mind control feature so we don't need to use keypad anymore.......
what? i was bored....... Title: Re: Motorola cuts 50% of the staff Post by: Joka X on January 16, 2009, 05:12:45 am i'll tell you now why Moto keep losing money......they don't released their phone worldwide......and they just lose one customer.......cause my friend's L7 keypad fall off (i dunno how that happen) and his aunt gave her a N80.....he was looking for zn5 for soo loooong to replace his L7.......Moto can blame themself!!!!
Title: Re: Motorola cuts 50% of the staff Post by: keaglez on January 16, 2009, 03:27:21 pm looks familiar....E680? because it looks like a design from stress people... :)EDIT> why did you name it stress..... Yeah that is E680, but hey keaglez isn't better if we make a more like a stylish phone rather than a corporate looking phone? not really, i love corporate phone better actually...Title: Re: Motorola cuts 50% of the staff Post by: huatz84 on January 16, 2009, 07:35:48 pm i'll tell you now why Moto keep losing money......they don't released their phone worldwide......and they just lose one customer.......cause my friend's L7 keypad fall off (i dunno how that happen) and his aunt gave her a N80.....he was looking for zn5 for soo loooong to replace his L7.......Moto can blame themself!!!! Isn't ZN5 already available in Malaysia? Talking about L7,in Bangkok Dangerous movie by Nicolas Cage,I saw L7 and V3. And there are a lot of movies using Motorola phones.Title: Re: Motorola cuts 50% of the staff Post by: Joka X on January 16, 2009, 07:43:27 pm nope..... not a sign of the phone going to be released here.... see here http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/725886/+160
Title: Re: Motorola cuts 50% of the staff Post by: Polar_BearXL on January 18, 2009, 01:02:09 am ZN5 is already available here in Indonesia, but many of us indonesian disappointed with the lack of 3G/HSDPA, here in my place, many people use their phone to get online via a monthly 3G/HSDPA internet provider, but now that it didin't have any of it, many people think that for the price rate, it should have the 3G/HSDPA in it. by the way, wifi is not quite an option, since wifi here is no good at all.
Title: Re: Motorola cuts 50% of the staff Post by: Joka X on January 18, 2009, 01:07:51 am well.....3G browsing is not very popular here and expensive.....unlimited browsing cost is expensive..... now the service provider don't even really try to promote it anymore.....while wifi, there is many restaurant that provide free wifi...... and it is faster than 3G.... beside, you just have to buy a router to have wifi......
Title: Re: Motorola cuts 50% of the staff Post by: tegezan on January 18, 2009, 03:13:50 am motorola never promoting via tv anymore in my place.. thats why they keeps loosing customers and money.. beside the price of moto is too expensive ofcourse.. but still, i luv moto :)
Title: Re: Motorola cuts 50% of the staff Post by: Joka X on January 18, 2009, 03:40:57 am Yeah.... Its like they already given up....they not even want to try promoting it here....they only promote those budget w series in newspaper......but the price is not that expensive compared to few years ago....
Title: Re: Motorola cuts 50% of the staff Post by: tegezan on January 18, 2009, 04:28:45 am yup.. just some low end moto phone in newspaper.. maybe this is the only way that they can do.. :(
Title: Re: Motorola cuts 50% of the staff Post by: Polar_BearXL on January 18, 2009, 06:14:24 am Yeah, the advertisement for Motorola is quite bad lately here in Indonesia, >:( where's the great ads like David Beckham slicing up a ball like V3 ads???
Title: Re: Motorola cuts 50% of the staff Post by: tegezan on January 22, 2009, 01:08:50 pm television showed n*kia decreased profit about 69%.. :)
Title: Re: Motorola cuts 50% of the staff Post by: iPhonk Inc on January 24, 2009, 12:00:54 pm is there any motorola staff in this forum? 8)
and i think that motorola user interface in a unmodded phone is not interactive for common people.. so it makes people dont like Moto, but in modded phone, wow!! it's cool... Title: Re: Motorola cuts 50% of the staff Post by: Phantom2009 on February 10, 2009, 07:59:19 am maybe Motorola should cooperate with Nintendo......maybe it'll call Motendo....... :P nice name, so my rokr's name will change to Motendo ROKR E1... ;D ;D ;DTitle: Re: Motorola cuts 50% of the staff Post by: Phantom2009 on February 10, 2009, 08:00:16 am motorola never promoting via tv anymore in my place.. thats why they keeps loosing customers and money.. beside the price of moto is too expensive ofcourse.. but still, i luv moto :) yes tegezan, that's right, i love my moto too Title: Re: Motorola cuts 50% of the staff Post by: Phantom2009 on February 10, 2009, 08:03:48 am oh god, what will happen with this vendor @ the future... ??? :'(
