What killed Motorola? Not Google! It was Moto's dire software

I'll tell you what killed Moto...

...crappy hardware.

I have had 3 Motorola Droid phones in the last 12 months. Number 3 is about to back as well, and have had it only about 3 weeks.

First one wouldn't even get a data connection until 3 major software updates to it. Had it nearly a year before it worked as it was advertised. Worked fine after the final update...for about a month. Then it started rebooting every 10-15 minutes throughout the day.

Number two lasted about a month, until it decided to not connect to any cell or data signals. Every time I tried to use the phone for either a call or data connection, the connection(s) would drop immediately.

Number three worked fine for about 3 weeks. Now it freezes occasionally, and reboots itself without warning several times a day.

I have this phone for business, otherwise I wouldn't have it. Starting to rethink that seriously, and go back to my reliable LG envTouch "stupid-phone"...which has never lost a cell or data signal in the years I have had it. Problem is it is 3g, and I really wanted 4g, but a reliable 3g is better than an unreliable 4g connection any day.

IBM drops Lotus brand from next version of Notes

Re: It's alive?

"... and the strange nature of 'delete'."

Sort of like Apple's Delete key? Which is actually a Backspace key?

Re: but then....

You do know that the Notes Client has two UIs to use...don't you? There is Basic, which is very close to Outlook, and Standard, which is more graphical, and yes, more bloated. But that is why IBM/Lotus recommend a minimum of 2GB of RAM to install and run the Standard edition.

And for Mobs, Traveler is very easy to use.

Re: "What did people expect"

"A quick, stable, interesting alternative to iOS and Android???

Close but no cigar"

Well Sparky...I have had TWO Motorola Droid (one Android Gingerbread & one ICS) phones DO THIS EXACT SAME THING...and had them replaced by Verizon because of it.

Now...number THREE is now starting to do this as well. So it's not exclusive to Windows...sorry.

RIM good for secret jobs: BlackBerry 10 cleared for Restricted data

Re: Why do I care about the american-based standards on a .co.uk news website?

Because it is also used by the UK.

"...And BlackBerry security is also recognized by the Common Criteria Certification, a security clearance used by 26 countries, RIM noted."

http://www.computerworld.com/s/article/9233366/BlackBerry_10_is_FIPS_certified_in_advance_of_platform_s_release

The UK is a "Certificate Authorizing Member" for Common Criteria Certification.

http://www.commoncriteriaportal.org/

So what?

Who really cares any more?

RIM are so far behind, that even MS Phone 8 looks good. At least it's out and being sold. RIM have been promising BB10 for nearly a year...still nothing. "Early 2013" now? Yea...believe when I see it.

My Uni has said Buh-Bye to ALL RIM devices & BES servers. 20k potential BB Enterprise users have gone "poof"! And we are not alone.

Why not? It is, afterall, a luxury cell phone.

Re: its rubbish

Hey wait a minute! It's not rubbish...it has that new, faster 4g LTE chip in it!!! Imagine that...Apple FIRST with LTE in a Smartphone!

What's that? Every other Smartphone has had 4g LTE for over a year? And the phone will not work in most of Europe on LTE? Can't be. Everyone knows Apple is at the forefront of technology. The OTHERS are the ones playing catch-up.

Facebook's new app bazaar 'violates' punters' privacy – lobbyists

Why the Apple-Samsung verdict is good for you, your kids and tech

Should be an interesting appeal

Being that the Jury Foreman had a 35-year engineering career in hard-drive technology (Memorex, Storage Technology, Digital Equipment), and a U.S. patent in his name, and the other jurors had no such experience, it could be that he overly influenced the others into seeing HIS point of view.

I am NOT saying Samsung aren't guilty of copying from Apple...thank goodness Apple have never done anything like that...Steve Jobs: "Good artists copy great artists steal" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CW0DUg63lqU)...but it seems very possible that Samsung can prove partiality/prejudice/undue influence on Mr. Hogan's part, towards the other members of the jury.

Driving a car? There's an app for that

"Sharing of cars would make things so much easier and modernized."

Except, if the car you are sharing is being used by someone else at the time YOU need it...and the other person has no intent on giving it up to you...because they are not finished doing what they are doing. Then what?

Are you going to be sharing with 2...3...4...5 other people, so you have a backup car? And who is paying for all of these "shared" cars? Oh yea...really "modernized".
