From PC Magazine article here.

...Motorola will be abandoning the familiar operating system used on its feature phones, such as the RAZR, for a Linux- and Java-based solution.

the RIZR didn't get very good reviews, and the article talked more about the MOTOPHONE than the new Linux device.

this stupid Blackberry has me thinking about getting my own phone again. but it's so nice to not have a phone bill...

the q is a complete waste as well... so much potential too

that being said, i am going to get my razr replaced very soon (dropped my current one in water too many times) and then i'm going to get the new treo 700p.

anyone going to be in the market for a new verizon razr? sell it to ya cheap

I like Symbian, but it never really seemed to take off.
