So... Moto was pushing built in USA phones. Now that they will be owned by China, what will they say? Built in USA financed by the great Wall?
The phones will be build in China, too expensive to build them here in the USA.So... Moto was pushing built in USA phones. Now that they will be owned by China, what will they say? Built in USA financed by the great Wall?
I think it must have just been for patents. Why else buy for $12.5b and sell a couple of years later for $2.91b?
My follow-up is a bit OT, but eh...Anyway, I am bit disappointed since I've heard good things about the Moto X and the Moto G and the X was being assembled in the U.S., but I have no first hand experience with either. My first and only Motorola brand phone was the Droid 2 and as much as I would still prefer a physical keyboard, no one was making them. I switched to an S3 and found it easier for ROMing than the Droid 2 so I figured I wouldn't be going back to Motorola anyway. Lately I have been looking forward to the next HTC One since several friends have it and I like the phone, but I started having second thoughts with the Moto X. Not anymore!
Relax, the world will keep on spinning.Lenovo just bought IBM's xSeries server business too. What is going on here? Is everything being sold to China? As long as they stay an American based company, my next phone will be an Apple. I LOVE my Motorola phones. They will be cheap junk in no time now that Lenovo is getting their hands on them. Just look at where the Thinkpad has gone since IBM sold their pc business to Lenovo.
Bah, all the spying, crappy apps, Google finally revealing their evil self, the whole smartphone thing is starting to leave a bad taste in my mouth anyway, the novelty is wearing off.
