Razr Makes Limited Reappearance

After a big flop the Razr phones were pulled from store shelves. Apparently, their was a major glitch with the phones. The bug that causes some of the ultra-thin cell phones to drop calls. A spokesperson from Motorola explains "A handset that has this issue may disconnect calls, power down and then automatically restart." However, Motorola is not reveling the source of the problem or specifying what component of the Razr is responsible for the problem, nor what models of the popular phone is affected.

Though the bug didn't affect all Razr phones, the limited quantity was enough to make cingular and T-mobile temporarily stop selling or carrying the phones. Today, however, the two mobile giants had a change of hearts and decided to start selling the phones. Cingular distribution centers received a new batch of Razrs on Friday, and those phones were sent to some stores by Monday, according to a Cingular spokeswoman.

Because of this change, Motorola shares rose 58 cents, or 2.8 percent, to $21.48 in midday trading Tuesday on the New York Stock Exchange.

The bottom line is that the world is rule and controlled by money. We have become such a capitalist society that although items like this one may be defective, the market continues to sells it. Worst, the consumers are still buying into this popular product, not because of its quality, but because of its popularity. Does size really matters?
