   CAPTION: MOTOMAGX

      Developer     Motorola
      OS family     Linux (Unix-like)
    Working state   Discontinued
     Kernel type    Monolithic (Linux)
   Official website MOTODEV > Technologies > MOTOMAGX

   MotoMagx was a Linux kernel-based mobile operating system developed and
   launched in 2007^[1]^[2] by Motorola to run on their mid-to-high-end
   mobile phones. The system was based on MontaVista's Mobilinux.
   Originally intended for 60% of their upcoming devices,^[3] it was soon
   dropped in favor of Android and Windows Mobile operating systems.^[4]

   MOTOMAGX was only compatible with Motorola's GSM/UMTS devices (as shown
   below). This was due to the lack of an implementation compatible with
   Qualcomm CDMA2000 devices. As a result, Motorola often sold multiple
   device variants with radically different firmware. For example, the
   Motorola RAZR2 on T-Mobile shipped with MOTOMAGX, whereas the RAZR2 on
   Verizon Wireless shipped with Motorola's P2k firmware.

   This created significant confusion for customers,^[citation needed] as
   the user experience varied widely between two otherwise identical
   devices, simply based on which carrier they were on.

     * Motorola EM30
