Call me a blind patriot (and possibly a blind Motorola employee) but
if the two of these portables come up even (as was suggested), I would
have to think people in the U.S. would opt for the phone that is made
in America by American workers for an American company.

The factory where they make the MicroTac is next door to my building,
and I think it is fantastic to see such high-quality products coming
out of a U.S. factory with American factory workers.  These people are
average Joe's like you and me, but they are competing tooth and nail
with the Japanese.  Finally, a U.S. manufacturer who can do it right.


Go for the Motorola phone.
