Motorola Continues to Give Away Crappy MOTORAZR

Does Motorola really have such a gigantic back inventory of MOTORAZRs that they have to continue giving them away for free? It seems they’ve been doing this for years even though everyone knows the phone sucks (OK, so it’s not as bad as the original RAZR). This time it’s Alltel hocking them in a Campbell-Ewald created, Santa-themed animated spot who consults one of Alltell’s four “sales guys” on what the hot gift will be this year.

Uh, sure, Santa, the not-so-new MOTORAZR that’s been collecting dust on the shelves ought to do the trick for Jimmy and Sally. Whatever. We have the new RAZR and it rocks. iPhone? What’s that?
