Description:
Motorola has a problem. The oh-so-chic RAZR phone has developed a sudden case of the dropsies. It turns out that a new supplier issued faulty chips, turning what appears to be a month's worth of production GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications) phones into no more than expensive, and not very effective, paperweights. Here's the good news: Motorola quickly owned up to the problem, fixed it and promised redress. Even better, it seems that the long-term hit to Motorola will be negligible. Our analysis gives the details on the snafu and some conclusions, along with when you might be able to get a RAZR again.
