Motorola = has-been (if at all)
Kodak = has-been
With their powers combined, they...might create something...decent?

Jeez, Motorola, give it up! This looks awful!

Well, I don't know. I think it's pretty interesting looking. That keyboard is especially intriguing. I mean, I'm not the level of "expert" usually found here, and frankly I like Kodak's stuff - for inexpensive point-and-shooting, they're a good value, I think.

I, too, find the announcements of corporate demise here to be greatly exaggerated. It's a heck of a lot tougher to totally kill a company the size of these than most people seem to realize.

@G_Money: Mr. Brown? I didn't know you were on Giz, you rascal you.

@G_Money: you must didn't read the blogs and letters about the senior executives and staff at Motorola. Moto could have had great success but due to lack of vision and inept leadership, they basically cut their own wrists. No one should have loyalty to a company that will drive itself into the ground. I still have my Motorola E815 from Verizon. It's about 4 years old and I will never buy another Moto product ever. Too many other manufacturers out there that know what us consumers want. So stick that in your pipe and smoke it!

I think this goes a long way in further demonstrating all the latest statements coming from former Moto employees. The company has done nothing to revitalize its product lineup and innovate in a crowded market. So instead of admitting their blunders they go on to rely on another company (also not known for their stellar performance) into building a new phone that it hopes will save them from the grave they have been digging for themselves? What business school did these guys go to?

TOWken22

Cute little phone.

biofreak

Wow, a historical pairing of crappy phone with crappy camera. I can't wait.

matto

the hardware looks nice, but lets wait and see how the software is.

MrBlahBlah

Couldn't this be one of those Multi-Brand chinese knockoff like the Apple-Sony-Walkman-Playstation 3- Blackberry phone?

Yeebles

If this thing had an apple logo on it, you guys would be creaming your pants, zOMG a phone with a real 5 megapixel camera from apple.

G_Money

What a bunch of idiots and fanboy commenters on this site. Wasn't Apple pretty much down and out in the mid 90's? Didnt Michael Dell tell them to close up shop? Kodak, has a lot of history as do moto. You guys are dismissing and writing them off as if they don't have history and cant make a comeback. Please get off apple's jock already.

Kodak has pretty good digital cameras especially there ones that shoot 720p video.

@zenpoet: Well, it looks like it's for China. Kodak still quite a bit of power in the photo market here.

jamar0303

Nothing screams cutting edge like... Kodak?

Is moto taking marketing tips from the PS3? How can they head anymore in the wrong direction than this? They may as well have partnered with Poloroid.

zenpoet

I am hot for Kodak

Not...

Goodbye Moto!

If this genuinely takes great pics, they could have a hit. 2 devices in one.

G_Money

Wow, dinosaurs mating. Next thing you know, we'll be overrun with little hasbeen companies.

I constantly see people complaining about their Moto RAZR phones and how Moto is such crap. I have never really had any problems with my RAZR that I've had for a few years now. It even went into the lake in my pocket for about 30 minutes and survived (after being left to dray for a few days) and still works fine.
This phone looks decent and if it has a decent price to match, I wouldn't run from it. Moto is not (in my opionion) known for being the "top of the line" phone, but they are usually a decent middle ground of price and quality in my experience. And if that traffic pic was really taken from that phone, color me impressed!

SgtMac02

I'm not feelin' it.

Adex2491

Does anyone else feel that Moto just don't get it anymore?

Sleeper_Service

The image quality looks good...so does the phone...lets see if it works out for Motorola..

nikeplr

That is a nice looking phone.

I don't think I've used the camera in my existing phone (HTC Touch) more than once so the partnership with Kodak does nothing for me.

kibets

"suggest"? How can you even say that? I see very little, or no indication that Kodak is involved here. Er, wait, yeah, I now I see it.

James

Kodak... the perfect super desirable brand of camera to bring the masses back to the super desirable brand of Moto phones!!! Sure...

frigg

I don't know what I'm looking forward to more, the poor battery life or the photos!

What a less-than-optimal match up.
