Turns out, he's a frequent pundit at Giz, CrunchGear and Lifehacker (and everywhere else on the internets) too! Did you know that the Krave matches perfectly with a sports car and an alien mountain shelter? It sucks the power out of the shill to actually say you work for Motorola, though, dude. But I guess that constitutes disclosure? Hit the jump to read all about how awesome mgoode says the Krave is. More »

    Motorola QA30 Leaked: Moto's First QWERTY Slider

    It appears that Motorola is getting ready to add the QA30 to their Q-Series lineup complete with a sliding QWERTY keypad. It isn't a smartphone and the specs (CDMA, 1x-EVDO connectivity, 2.5 inch TFT, Full HTML browser, 2 MP camera, Bluetooth, MicroSD / MicroSDHC card support, up to 32GB) aren't going to wow anyone, but it might be a decent option for Alltel customers looking for a cheap QWERTY.

    iPhone Passes the RAZR to Become Best Selling Phone in the US This Quarter

    Just days after supplanting the BlackBerry in customer satisfaction among business wireless smartphone users, Apple's iPhone has taken down another cellphone icon, Motorola's Razr, in terms of total sales for the quarter. According to NPD (the leading wireless research firm) the iPhone outsold the Razr in the 3Q—representing the first changing of the guard in three years.This change comes despite a higher price tag in the midst of a struggling economy. In fact, NPD notes that overall sales of cellphones are down 15% from last year. More »

That's on a 2-year contract, but it's still pretty impressive given that the phone's quad-band, with Wi-Fi, stereo Bluetooth, FM radio and a "proper" xenon flash unit built in.

    In today's earnings call, Motorola CEO Sanjay Jha made multiple references to Windows Mobile 6.5, explaining that a Moto handset running the software would be released in the second half of 2009. Jha was vague on specifics about WinMo 6.5, but according to PC Mag, he did go on record as saying "I think there are significant new added features which will help the platform." What does this mean for Windows Mobile 7? Last we heard, the mobile OS was also scheduled for a second half 2009 release. Will the multitouch-friendly successor be further delayed? [PC Mag]

    Motorola's "Focus On Android" Won't Yield an Actual Phone Before Christmas 2009

    So yesterday, Motorola comes out with some optimistic sounding news (well, unless you're getting the axe) of streamlining the operation and shifting focus to Android, an OS that is built specifically for its relative ease to bring to market. And then, one day later on their quarterly earnings call (in which they announced a staggering loss of $400 million in one quarter), new president Sanjay Jha says we won't see the first Android-powered Moto phone until Christmas of next year, notwithstanding any further delays? Yeah, I guess that's about right. More »

    Motorola To Cut More Jobs, Shift Focus to Android Phones

    Motorola's got plenty of problems. A really big one being that their development focus is spread across as many as six cellphone platforms. To help streamline (err, slash up) things, Sanjay Jha, the new head of cellphone operations, plans to do what many have been suggesting and suspecting: reduce that number to three, while shifting tons of resources to Android.
