Motorola Can’t Last
I’ve finally had it with Motorola’s cruddy charging connector. I am in Chicago this week attending a manufacturing trade show, and my cell phone battery died before noon because despite being plugged in to the AC charger for a good eight hours, the phone didn’t actually get any juice.
I asked a Cingular store sales rep about this, and all he could tell me was that they got a lot of reports of this same problem from customers with Motorola phones, and I simply had to jiggle the connector each time I connected the phone.
When I get back in the Bay Area, I’m going to call Motorola customer service, and then its media relations department, and see if I can get the company to send me a redesigned charger that works—at least something that works as well as the old style charger from the phones of the mid 1990s that I never had this problem with.
