Motorola Rival A455 hands-on review

Filed under Cell Phones, Handsets
We reported yesterday that Motorola had announced its new Rival A455 mobile messaging phone. The phone is packed with some cool features aimed at those who love to send messages all day. The handset comes with a full slide-out QWERTY keyboard, with some elements of this being touchscreen.
ZDNet have managed to get their hands on the Motorola Rival A455, so thought they would offer their readers a full hands-on review of the device. I like how the reviewer said that if you want a Smartphone, but are not prepared to pay the price, then this phone mimics many of the features that you associate with a Smartphone.
The Motorola Rival A455 has a limited audience as it is intended more for the youth; this is for two reasons, the messaging features and the color choices, black with purple piping and silver with red piping. For the full hands-on review, visit ZDNet here.

Motorola handset division: 50% layoffs this week?

Filed under Cell Phone Information, Cell Phones
We are only in our second week of 2009 and already Motorola are talking about layoffs in their handset division. Phonescoop have learned that the layoffs could be as much as 50% of the total handset operation.
It is thought that other areas of Motorola will not be affected; these include enterprise device businesses, set top box and networking equipment. Phonescoop has also learned that Motorola will not have a booth at the 2009 CTIA Wireless trade show in April.
This does show that Motorola are in serious trouble, as that show is the biggest wireless event in the U.S… Motorola are also trimming down the amount of new phones that it will be bringing to the cell phone market, 12 per year have been suggested.
