Motorola has the market cornered on unsexy phone design. I think if you touched an iPhone and any of Motorola's clunky brick phones together, the universe would end.

Mot has lost their edge. They need to think 2 years out if they are going to make it. If what they are working on is not as cool as the iPhone today, forget it. They always have their walkie talkie business.
