    From Engadget's review wrap-up:



    "So has Motorola succeeded in reclaiming the prestige that once belonged to the RAZR brand? Unequivocally, yes -- the handset is just physically stunning. It's thinner than almost any phone on the market and makes no sacrifices to attain its slim physique. It's solidly constructed from premium materials like diamond-cut aluminum, Gorilla Glass and a sheet of super-slick Kevlar. Few phones out there can even be put in the same category when it comes to build quality. It's not the most ergonomically sound handset on the market, but for those who cherish form over function (the very targets of a so-called fashion device), that's a sacrifice worth making."



    EDIT: I just noticed you claimed the RAZR as Moto's premier phone for next year. Rumors abound of one and perhaps two quad-core phones from Motorola as early as three/four months from now. I don't think they're sitting back and depending on the RAZR for 2012.



    Hey... you're the guy who said that Motorola's brand wasn't worth shit so don't go sticking up for them now. I, of course, said that Moto had an excellent brand and would resurface at one point or another.

    I've never said any such thing. You've mistaken me with some other poster apparently.

    When this thought manifested itself in your head, did you at least once run it by your brain for approval before you hit the: Submit Reply button?

    Yes they are, Samsung has already been forced to innovate by having to release the 10..1n Tab for the German market, they also had to innovate changes to the gallery in the Netherlands.



    Now consumers have a real choice, not just another copy.

    From the US version of the patent:



    "Status changes made on first pager (130 and 530) are wirelessly communicated to an infrastructure (110 and 510) which communicates the status changes to other pagers (150 and 550) so that the other pagers make corresponding status changes. Thus, a user's status changes made on one pager are automatically made on the user's other pagers. Status changes include changes to received messages, alarm times, alert thresholds, and key word alerts."



    This sounds like PubSub to me, an idea from computer science.

    According to Wiki, the first known example was in 1987. Wouldn't this could as prior art (or whatever the term is), since it is 11 years before this patent?

    All those other products offer value to Motorola's offerings.

    Do you have a link to this mysterious "black rectangle" patent?



    I've often heard it referred to but I've never actually seen it.



    Searches of various patent offices for "black rectangle" have been fruitless.

    Hmmm... he argued that the Moto brand was worth basically nothing. So, at least that one time, he didn't present a good argument. Bad premise, bad argument.



    ... but, he's gone now so I won't continue.

    They are daring Moto to move ahead.

    Not yet. There's still a gate or two to pass thru.
