I'm at Motorola's annual analysts' meeting this week, getting the scoop on the new KRAZRs and RIZRs and MAXXes and other hot new handsets. Check out my stories on PCMag.com later today for more information. If you've never been to a Motorola throw-down, though, you'd be surprised by the level of in-jokes and trash talking going on. For instance, at one point when discussing "tattoos" for Motorola phones, mobile device head Ron Garriques said that phone tattoos can be erased or replaced "if you and Mary broke up, for instance." On the screen, he showed a RAZR with a giant tattoo of a heart containing the name "Monica" – a reference to longtime Moto PR rep Monica Rohleder, who recently jumped ship and now represents Helio. Other hits with the analyst crowd included a YouTube video about "Samesung" and Garriques quipping that "my wife really likes chocolates, but she likes shiny things more," a reference to LG's upcoming Chocolate phone.
