After staring at him bemused, he turned the unit and showed me the screen where a bunch of letters appeared. I didn’t exactly understand what a “pager” was. At the time, I was a very inquisitive person and I remember asking him “What is that?” to which he replied “It’s a pager.” One of my teachers had a small black “box” which he clipped to himself, and from time to time, it would beep rather loudly and a light would flash. Sometimes it shocks me just how far back I can remember, and indeed, my earliest recollections of pagers was from when I was in second grade primary school. I was also aware of them from their paging equipment.

You would see the XTS series radios being carried around by front-line public servants all the time. Instead, I knew Motorola more from a radio aspect, as they were very much involved in the NSW GRN trunked radio system, which ran on Motorola Smartnet technology, before being upgraded to P25. I never had the fortune of owning a Motorola device first-hand, but I’d often see others carrying them around. Motorola products generally had good reputations and often premium price-tags.

Motorola was important in bringing cellular phones to the masses, with their DynaTAC being the first commercially available portable cellular phone, the StarTAC being the first flip-phone and the ever-so-popular Razr with excellent sensitivity. In the new phone market dominated by Apple, Samsung and LG, formerly great brands such as Nokia and HTC are in deep trouble, and Motorola seems to be joining them.
When I heard last week that the Motorola branding was going to be shelved and replaced by “Moto by Lenovo”, like many others online, I felt a tinge of sadness as if another great tech brand had fallen by the wayside.
