The Boy Genius Report: Motorola will find you!
"I received information from a source of mine and this kind of freaks me out. Basically Motorola has a new tracking system in all prototypes called M-Track, which will transmit all sorts of wonderful personal info on your phone directly to them. This includes, but not limited to: your phone number (obviously), SIM ID, location, cell tower, and more of the like. I understand the need to track prototypes, but c'mon Moto, some of us can't help ourselves. After all, what is better than going to the club and showing a hot girl your new unreleased Motorola phone? Nothing I say, nothing."

Software companies have been doing stuff like this for years (Adobe has gotten especially into it as of late) so it's not a real surprise. What happens when they find you? Men in dark glasses stand outside your house and wait to pounce?

I've carried a lot of prototype phones over the years, and I have to say that with the exception of the black RAZR, no one has ever been impressed that I was carrying a prototype phone. The people that were interested in the black RAZR were just excited because they were giving those out at the Academy Awards.

Am I missing somehting? How do you get prototype phones? How many EM readers know how to get these, or am I simply the non-prototype outcast.. :)
