Our very own Michael Selvidge — our man in San Francisco — was at the Motorola Android event last week. He’s filed this piece and a Youtube video (made on his still-glistening iPhone 3GS) for us. Over to you, Michael! – Ewan I had the chance to check out the new hotness from Motorola yesterday [...]

Motorola to focus on Android-based handsets
Motorola has confirmed that the company plans to shift to Google’s Android platform as a way to reinvent its handsets division. Sanjay Jha, co-CEO of Motorola said “[The new Android-based phones] will get us back in the game in smartphones,” He also mentioned something about the company’s venture with two major US mobile operators to [...]
Motorola: Nothing to see here, move along, move along
I headed by the Motorola stand to see what they’d got to show off. Just a preface: We’re at America’s largest, most influential trade show. Motorola’s spend hundreds of thousands to deliver a big stand, they’ve flown in all their top people and … this is the bollocks they’ve got to show off: I kid [...]
Motorola’s got some Android handsets due Q4 2009
I’m rather pleased to hear that Motorola has got some Android handsets coming — although not, according to the Financial Times, until Q4 this year. ‘Bout time. The actual quote: Motorola will use Google’s Android operating system for many of its new handsets although they will not go on sale until the fourth quarter of [...]
On This Day in 2006 I was using a Motorola SLVR (badly)
We’ve happened upon a new feature here at Mobile Industry Review. Since we’ve been publishing more or less every day since 2006 we — now and again — have a rather interesting set of articles at the bottom of every post. Under the ‘On This Day’ section, you’ll find posts that we published on this [...]
Looking towards Mobile World Congress ’09
In nearly a month from now, Mobile World Congress will be over, done and dusted, put to bed, an ex-event, acabado – finished. What are we expecting to see, what are we likely to experience, what will astound us and what will we all be talking about five weeks from now? From what we’ve already [...]
New Moto mobile holds water
Two new phones will be unveiled by Motorola at this year’s CES, one of which is the very first handset to be made from water bottles. Known as the MOTO W233 Renew, it’s an environmentally conscious phone in more ways than just one. As it’s all been designed and laid out in such a way [...]
UIQ on last legs
UIQ which was the user interface on top of Symbian developed by SonyEricsson and Motorola, both companies are concentrating on other operating systems and the UIQ business unit has filed for bankruptcy protection. The main competitor is Nokia’s S60 (which also sits on top of Symbian) and it looks like the Finns have won the [...]
Why I shouldn’t have bought a Motorola Q9c
Way back in September I posted a note about my ridiculous experience with the Motorola Q9c handset I used on Sprint whenever I’m in the States. I most certainly didn’t hold back on my viewpoints. I recall writing: Switch it off and let the device run through it’s flocking annoying startup rigmarole (you can, almost [...]
RumourMill: iPhone clamshell clone takes a bite out of the Apple
A third party company has created an unauthorised clamshell version of the iPhone for sale in China, whoever said clams and apples wouldn’t mix. One of the most interesting leaks of late came to us from the mobile phone news website site shanzhaij, with images that are truly amazing and we hope are for real. [...]
We’re at the Motorola AURA launch!
Later on today we’re at the launch event of the new handset from Moto, the AURA. If you weren’t already aware, and you will be by the end of reading this, it’s their designer mobile phone par excellence. We’ve been told it’s the world’s first 16 million colour, circular display with a 300 dpi resolution, [...]
The best thing Motorola could do is go fully Android. Discuss.
I paid the 500 quid for the StarTac back in 1999. It was a brilliant, revolutionary handset. My favourite feature was the fact it carried a credit card sized sim card. Not that useful but I liked the concept. Of course the form factor was simply amazing. I was the coolest kid at University College [...]
