Its funny, I've been watching this site and they had posted a company response stating verified source, but it also said not a response from motorola....it was kinda weird.
The response was from an IT guy, didn't say IT for what company, he said he was taking his atrix back and telling everyone he knew to do the same until motorola changed policy.
Then groubal site went down and back up, now his qoute and the company response mark are gone.

"UPDATE (28th March 2011):

So the numbers are 1430, but there has been a few dramas over the past couple of hours.

Groubal was Hacked!!! They suspect it has something to do with this petition!!!

Their email to me below:

Hello Irwin,

Groubal was hacked! Our host is addressing this matter as we speak. We hope Groubal.com will be back up and running soon.

Clearly the Motorola petition has spread widely throughout the web and touched a major nerve. You can be sure we will do whatever possible to get back in service ASAP.

Thanks for the alert.

So I strongly urge everyone who wants to see an open Motorola Android platform to make their voices heard.
If you know other people who can spread this further get in touch with them, we need to show Motorola that their brand is on the line here."

Moto doesn't want to listen

 

[faber78]

Moto is figuring on most people not even knowing or understanding....but the funny thing is for every one of those signatures there's probably 2 or 3 people asking that person what phone to get....you know what they'll say. And each phone represents how much money....

 

[Steven58]

Moto doesn't want to listen

They've proven that they don't want to listen by their actions. That is what this petition is all about.... making them listen!

I strongly disagree.This will not make them listen,the only thing a corporation like Moto understands is money.Stop buying there products,and stop recommending them.Its too bad because I feel neither HTC or Samsungs phones are built with the same quality contruction of a motorola...but its the only way to get action...

 

[Thats]

Get this back to the TOP. I want custom ROMS from GB!!!
