The Man Who Gave Motorola Its Style
Motorola now controls more than 20 percent of the global handset market. It’s been almost ten years since the last time Moto could make that claim. And according to Crain’s Chicago Business, the guy behind the cool RAZRwire Bluetooth shades can claim a lot of the credit.
Ed Zander showed up at Motorola two and a half years ago. Moto’s RAZR was already in development, but Zander brought the company’s marketing efforts into the 21st century, and led the way for followup phones like SLVRs, PEBLs, Qs,
and the newest Canary (pictured at right).
We hear from Mobile Guerilla and Engadget that Canary (or KRZR) will be offered for sure by Verizon Wireless. A GSM version for Cingular may hit by September. This new bird looks longer and slender-er than the RAZR with a black case somewhat resembling the new LG Chocolate phone. Expect an evolutionary rather than revolutionary feature set including stereo Bluetooth and 2 megapixel camera.
