Motorola came into being in 1930 when it began manufacturing car radios, and began developing mobile phones in the early 1980s. The first commercial cellular phone was a Motorola, released in 1983. Once a giant of the mobile phone scene, Motorola faltered after the success of its Razr handset range in the 2000s, and struggled to make much of an impression towards the end of the decade. However, in 2009 the launch of the Motorola Milestone (named Droid in the USA) which runs the Android OS, received widespread praise and seems to signal a return to form.
