A legendary name in communication will soon disappear. My first mobile phone was a Motorola Star-Tac.

What a shame. I never had that model but had numerous Motorola Razr's and Krzr's. Absolutely loved them. I was a bit sad really as I remember being amazed at this phone saying 'Hello Moto' when I turned it on..

So now it's Bye Moto....:smileysad:

Motorola were pioneers in the mobile phone industry and the brand has been around since 1928, so it's sad to see it go.

Thanks for posting @Bambino, I had no idea about this until you posted.

 

The Razr was one of my favourite ever devices.


We will still include the Moto X in Try The Tech for the foreseeable future slight_smile

Mine as well @Toby. I bet you didn't have a Red or Shocking Pink Razr though? LOL
