Whatever Happened To... Motorola

Published: Jan. 6, 2020, 11:30 a.m.

What ever happened to Motorola?

How did the inventor of the world\u2019s first handheld cell phone become a bit player in a market it created? Where did Motorola go wrong? Could Motorola\u2019s decline have been avoided?

And will the highly anticipated release of the smartphone Motorola Razr in 2020 help turn the tide for this iconic brand?

The Risktory Podcast is created, written, produced and hosted by Jacinthe A Galpin. Jacinthe once owned a gold Motorola Razr and it was the best time of her life.
