Well, it was a good ride gentlemen. Who knows what's going to happen with Moto now. Sad day indeed.

Yes ...but I just wish Punit soni does not leave moto too....He is former Google so maybe Google would just call him back

Anyway on giving it another thought Motorola is not based on ideas on one or a few people (unlike some fruity companies) Its work on collective thinking and am sure Lenovo has a track record of buying failing businesses and converting them into profits (The ibm thinkpad made them the No.1 pc manufacturer in the world).....I am sure they are gonna be the best thing for motorola Provided they ditch their own smartphone line

The more I've thought about it, the more I think this will be okay. Google gets bored easily, and I liken them to a kid in a candy store, hyped up on sugar and won't stop touching things. They like to be the first to something, but beyond that they have mediocre, beta products.

Bad news. He was one of the few CEOs that has great experience, but thinks as a 20 year-old guy (which is great, as he knows what people like).

No surprise considering the upcoming buyout. I would expect to see more leave before the buyout is complete. Some by choice and some by layoff.

I wouldn't call the update to 4.4.2 anything close to quick. My S4 may get the update before my Moto X. The update to 4.4 was quick....4.4.2, not so much.

They still got a couple of years under googles watch, but after that looks like any developer edition phone will do. Either HTC or Samsung because even though you might hate tw Samsung still makes pretty good phones and with developer editions they're already running aosp.

I am big on build quality, "radios", and battery life, and that's why I've loved Moto. Samsung has never truly impressed me in those areas. I don't know enough about HTC, other than messing with my Dads Rezound, so I will reserve judgment there.
