@@Judgement_Kazzy I read a really good book about this entire thing, and man you wouldn’t believe how mad Jobs was about this price of junk. Like my man was actually livid about what Motorola did during their partnership, because he expected and pretty much demanded something truly special (like he was known to do), and as you can see here the Motorola phone ain’t it. You can taste even to this day the giddy excitement and passion for the iPhone in that first conference (even tho the first gen iPhone was junk in its own right), which makes hearing him talk about the Motorola even funnier. No passion at all, and even a sarcastic bite if you listen hard enough.

I wonder if the 100 song limit was a carrier demand. It's easy to forget that, at least in the US, companies like Verizon used to have the power to dictate terms to the device manufacturers. They would simply refuse to sell your phone if you didn't comply, and since (even now) most people in North America buy phones from their carrier, this meant you really had no market. The carriers used to make a ton of money on walled garden stores (look up the Jamster commercials if you're too young to remember this) and didn't want to make it easy for the end user to put their own stuff on their phones. The excellent book "Losing the Signal" talks about this.

I had one of these as a kid! It had amazing *stereo* loudspeakers and a really nice cable. The 100 track limit on iTunes was a bummer. I remember that with 100 tracks, it took a lot of time to launch iTunes, and I remember being annoyed that it was so easy to accidentally hit the music button and have to wait for it to load. I really wish you managed to play something over the loudspeakers! Mine came with a pretty fun soccer game and a The Sims-like life simulation, the latter was the first game I played that had this mechanic where it tracks the system time to advance the in-game time, which was a brand new concept at the time for this form factor. Really cool stuff! I actually stopped using it because I bought the iPod Nano, so I guess Motorola's CEO was right haha
@MacPhantom2 жыл бұрын
I remember when this was brand new. I already then thought it was a failed attempt; I always had the theory that Jobs did that on purpose to weaken Motorola (one of the biggest players in mobile phones back then) in anticipation of the iPhone. Apple had been working on that at this point already, so I thought it kind of fit the narrative, as conspiracy-ish as it may sound.

A mate had the beefier Razr (the V3x I believe it was) that had a selfie camera on the hinge and its regular camera was 2MP vs. the regular V3's VGA one. At the time I wanted one of those but could never find it.
@Spectere2 жыл бұрын
I had one of those back in the day. Aside from the improved sensor it also had a macro mode (via a little physical slider near the selfie cam) that worked surprisingly well, as well as an LED "flash" (it didn't actually flash-you just toggled it on and off in the camera app). Unlike the original RAZR that thing was able to take heaps of abuse, and since it had a microSD card you could take more than 15 photos before you ran out of storage. I don't recall seeing it available through any major carriers in the US (though I know the V3xx was), but I was able to buy an unlocked handset through Newegg.

I believe the reason why it came out so terribly is because even though Motorola was a big company at the time and made amazing phones, they were going into unknown territory without having little to any experience prior to this. The idea to have music on a phone is genius, but not if it is a detriment to the phone software and hardware itself.

@@drewzero1 exactly. This product was over hyped but underworked. As it is shown in the video, it had major problems like how slow it was, how it would say "no sim" and how it would sometimes brick itself out of nowhere. There is a reason why the ipod nano smashed this thing, with the black spots and all.

The Nano was my favorite iPod second to the 4-button iPod only (which I modded heavily!). Had rockbox firmware and played Doom on that thing on the way to school. Love both. And only both.

I had the Motorola SLVR (pronounced "sliver") back in 06-07. It was the candy bar phone version of the RAZR. And I specifically bought it because it had iTunes on it. I could tell, way back in 2005, that at some point in time the folks from Cupertino were going to merge phones and iPods. I saw my fellow college students walk around campus with an iPod in one hand and a cell phone in the other. I still have that phone in a box in the basement... somewhere. If I find it I'll ship it to you Mr. Dank Pod.

Whilst the phone itself was ... well shit. Slow, clunky (also, that model 1:15 is not the first in line), barely any memory. It was an innovator. Also, the speakers. The design involved in making the speakers of that phone is... out of this world. It doesn't even need a phone vibrator motor, the speakers were used to vibrate the phone. Technologically speaking, it was the future.
