It's actually a good market strategy, because the features on mobiles these days are completely useless to some people, especially of the older generation who just want a phone they can make calls with and send text messages. Because of this, they're more likely to buy a phone that looks good rather than look at it's confusing specifications. Price is a factor too, people do not want to spend £200 on a phone that they're only going to use for basic functions. However, if Motorola really want to penetrate the market they need to come up with some very high-end devices that focus less on aesthetics and more on features. A 5 Megapixel RIZR? That'll do nicely. Motorola phones have always been more design-focused than anything.
