"Motorola is looking to introduce eight to ten smartphones, accounting for about 25-30% of the vendor’s total handset models to be launched worldwide this year, according to Motorola Taiwan. Of the smartphone models, Linux-based devices are expected to perform well for the vendor in the smartphone market, said the division. Buoyed by good sales of the E680, A768i and A780 models, Motorola’s smartphone sales currently exceed 10% of its total sales in China, Motorola Taiwan cited. ...In addition, Motorola’s new Microsoft Windows-based smartphone, which is produced in-house, will be introduced to the market in the second half of this year, Motorola Taiwan noted."

I would hope that they have learned, I think I read something about them scrapping the company that actually made the MPx series phones. Maybe Moto is going to reclaim their title in the market.

I would love to think Motorola will soon produce some great phones. Still, if I look back over the last year, with the V600 and the MPx220 disasters, I really have some doubts. Often, bringing something back in-house (from previously outsourcing) can help regain some control of the product. However, if the product is THAT BAD, then I have to question Motorola's ability to manage the outsourced company.......
I wish them luck, but until I can hold and use a new Motorola SmartPhone model, I'll keep using my SMT5600.....

PS. I really like the clamshell design, just not the final implementation....

I feel the same way. I would love a clamshell but based on my MPx220 experience it will be a very cold day before I buy another Motorola.
