What I dislike most about motorola and their marketing spiel
is they claim their kit is cheap
and yet when you go to get quotes or go to get some assistance
the guys you meet at the front door have no idea of Linux or open source
and talk the paytard talk and show very clearly no understanding how open
source gets supported and funded.
Mortorola is dead when comparing prices with Far East.
They are just not competitive on price or basic support
and their marketing spiel sucks because of the way they
talk and deal become very devious when you sit in front of them.
When you are tasked with having a straight faced talk
to get some projects off the ground, just being normal
and straight faced helps a lot guys!
Its your revenue you are kissing goodbye!
