If they build something based upon the same great foundation as my E815 I'd consider it in a second.

The Moto V9M is a great phone. The first Motorola that I've liked in quite some time.

Just by design standards, Moto can't seem to let the razr go. If they could get over that hurdle, well... I my be inclined to switch to a moto.

If the would have a Q phone with the touch pad as the primary means of user interface it would be a winner.

I heard the RIZR for VZW was badass too ... the next best thing from MOTO since the E815.

Aren't the v325i and the W385 good basic phones too?

The E815 was awesome except for the faulty charging port, software, and keen desire to reboot all the time.

The E815 was a pile of crap.

Which E815 were YOU using? I have NEVER had issues (such as you've just complained about) with the two E815s in use in my family for the past year and a half. It's a great phone.

I went through 4 E815s in less than a year. The day I exchanged it for an LG VX8600, I was MUCH happier. I've had that for a little over a year, and I still have no complaints about it. The speaker phone kind of sucks, but I can get around that with a headset.

The E815 works great for the first few months. Then the software starts getting weird and restarting the phone during text messaging. If you let it go for long enough, it will start to power cycle during phone calls. That style of charging port is notorious for going bad, not only on the E815 but many other Motorola phones.

A friend of mine (and a former member of this forum) had similar issues and traded it out for a VX9900. Seriously, I don't know a single person that ...

Well, now you do. My two have been completely troublefree and satisfying.

Oh I have the 8600 Now too! Even thought I went throught other phones before getting that from the 815 I still agree way better but I dont get why people say the speaker phone sucks I think it works really well! Way better than my sliver which btw was a piece too! Dang it I should have learned my lesson from the 815 not to get another moto but what do you know the sliver looked nice... but it was not!

I went throught three in a week! Biggest pile I ever had... but that was when I was with alltel and it was like a two year old phone yet they were still selling it. everyone of them would randomly turn off or the screen would go white or the charger would mess up and I would wake up with a dead phone! GR screw you motorola LG+Verizon=Best!

Why does LG always put crap voice dial software on their phones. Good phones, horrible voice dial.

How many more versions of the razr and the Q do we expect to see from Motorola in 2008?

Like it or not, Motorola will have to put on a good show at CES. The nation's top mobile handset company dumped both their CEO and CTO recently, and new CEO Greg Brown will have to explain his vision to the somewhat nervous press and analysts at the show. For Moto, CES won't be about a product; it will be about a new direction.
