Banning Motorola phones could be the best thing that could happen, as far as I am concerned. Motorola, at one time, had some of the best phones around. But, I am on my 3rd Moto 5g stylus...not by choice. The 1st one 2023 model was a choice. But 6 months into having the phone...I couldn't be more disappointed. The only reason for the following 2 is that insurance sent me a 2024 replacement for the 2023 model when that phone was useless, and the 2024 is just as bad. And it's not the service, because I have 3 lines on my account and all the other phones on the account are fine..(Samsung)
Text messages delayed by hours, emails not being sent, constant switching from SIM card to ESIM on its own. It's just the same problems as with the other 2 phones.
So I say, goodbye to Motorola. They no longer can compete in the world of cellular!!!

Banned?? I didn't even know Motorola still sold anything in the U.S. I doubt you'd have that many if any people crying foul to said ban tbh?!

It could mean that fewer Americans get screwed when buying a device.

Not sure if I like the idea overall. If it keeps happening, sooner or later it would get to the point where our choice in smartphones is Samsung or Apple.

The comments here,so far, seem to be a little bias lol. Motorola is doing fairly well in the US. A 14% market share is something you can't ignore. Only one commenter has given a valid reason for their displeasure with the company. That's fine, but all your top companies has been down that road. I've owned Motorola phones as of late and I never had any problems that I didn't have with other vendors. Now I'm on a Samsung phone and there's not a lot of difference, except for being overpriced,, but that's on me. Now back to the story. Any time you remove a player from the game then you remove some incentive for progress and for feeling you have a real need for advancement. That's one thing we don't want or need. What has to happen is for Lenovo to pay the license fee for use of the patient. Others have done so. Competition fuels innovation.
