Re: Boot Em? Moto used to be the standard-bearer for quality, right next to another company whose initials were said to stand for "High Price". One used to be to able to drop a piece of Moto gear off the second floor, dust it off, and go back to work.
Enter the "digital" cable-tv era. We get the equivalent of a toaster-oven sitting on top of the set, which can't render a decent picture or change channels in less than 5 seconds. Don't get me started on their cellphone performance.
I don't believe that "American" designs are any less baffling than European or Asian equivalents. Time Zones are not the issue either, its a question of budgeting product testing with real users, where some western firms MIGHT have a slight edge, though not in my experience.
As for your Walkman phone, my hunch is that it was designed by Ericsson.
I've purchased well in excess of $100K worth of Moto gear.
There is nothing to suspect. As a potential cable customer, however, I usually have no choice as to what crap STB I receive. |
