They will bounce back, they always do and besides they made (and still
do) so much money off of the RAZR that is is pathetic. I do agree that
other companies are surpassing them in functionality of phones. Their
user interface sucks and they Java applications are slow. Beef them up
and lets get the ball rolling.....Come on MOTO!!!
