MotoMagx

MotoMagx (stylized MOTOMAGX) is a former 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][4] it was soon dropped in favor of Android and Windows Mobile operating systems.^[5]

MotoMagx was only compatible with Motorola's GSM/UMTS devices. 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.
