Motorola Radios - written by Nevets Notrom

Motorola started as Galvin Manufacturing Corporation in 1928. The name of the Company was changed to Motorola in 1947, but the word had been used as a trademark since the 1930s. The company is based in Schaumburg, Illinois, a Chicago suburb. Founder Paul Galvin came up with the name Motorola when his company started manufacturing car radios (a number of early companies making phonographs, radios, and other audio equipment in the early 20th century used the suffix "-ola", the most famous being Victrola; there was also the film editing device called a Moviola).

Motorola has been an established company specializing on different technological products and services. From two-way radios, television sets, wireless broadband, and cellular phones, it has come in partnership with the people on the quality of what they offer. In this technological phenomenon, Motorola has again proven its worth when they ventured in bluetooth headsets, which drove the company to being the topnotch seller of such device

Today, Motorola develops a portfolio of technologies, solutions and services - including wireless handsets, wireless accessories, digital entertainment devices, wireless access systems, voice and data communications systems, and enterprise mobility solutions - that make mobile experiences possible. With the rapid convergence of fixed and mobile broadband Internet and the growing demand for next-generation mobile communication solutions, our mission is to lead the next wave of innovative products that meet the expanding needs of our customers around the world.

Among the top brands of mobile phones around the world includes a brand that helped in revolutionizing the true meaning of mobility, and that is the Motorola branded mobile phones. Motorola phones are manufactured by Motorola Inc. that not only specializes in wireless telephone handsets, also designing and selling wireless network infrastructure equipment such as cellular transmission base stations and signal amplifiers.

Motorola lost its early lead in the market during the late 1990s as Nokia's phones became more users friendly, but bounced back in the early 2000s with its v series of handsets, incorporating new technology such as color screens and integrated cameras. It struck a goldmine in 2004 though with the release of the first super-thin RAZR phone, the RAZR V3. A storming success helped in no small part by a David Beckham marketing campaign, the clam shell design has gone on to influence almost every Motorola model since, from the SLVR to the PEBL. Motorola was the first company to sell cell phones on a large scale. It's used its reputation as a trendsetter to good effect ever since

More and more Motorola mobile phone deals are introduced in the market and Cross-Technology or PoC product line extended the features and services of Motorola. The feature "push to talk" connectivity became just a minor innovation when more powerful interactivity features were introduced. Such features include the GPRS, CDMA2000, 1X, and the power of Wi-Fi network technology.

Motorola creates several different products for use of the government, public safety officials, business installments, and the general public. These products include cell phones, laptops, computer processors, and radio communication devices. The Motorola RAZR line has sold over a 110 million units bringing the company to the number two mobile phone slot in 2005 (Nr 1 Nokia). The RAZR became a cult phone and many variations were produced.
