Their phone division head last year made an interesting comment in answer to a question about how they would compete with the iPhone, “We’re going to be boringly predictable.”

Nothing like guaranteeing success with so little effort!

I just purchased a $40 Motorola Tracfone at a retail store to replace my older Nokia soap bar. It looks functionally the same as the Razr phones still listed by Sprint at between $300 and $400. I think the differences are more about what features are exposed by the software (and carrier) than hardware.

I hope that by February when my Sprint contract runs out there are at least a couple of Androids to choose from and also hopefully a selection of carriers.

Maybe I’ll finally enter the twenty first century.
