Although, they still have a lot to lose in the US it would be a sad thing for all.
Less choice isn't good for the consumer.

If not handsets what will they do? They're exiting their main field. Motorola is synonymous with Mobile Phones.Is this what too much competition does?

Phones is only a part of their business. They are quite big in semiconductors too afaik
I think Moto's downfall was relying to heavily on the V3 RAZR. They kept it going for so long without developing anything as good to replace it.

I am aware of he semi conductors part. What I meant was if you think motorola, the first thing that comes to your mind is the Mobilephone. Btw, this sounds a tad far fetched at this moment. But who knows..

if you say motorola the first thing that comes in mind is 2way radio, not cell phones.
In europe motorola has lost most of its poplairty, the V3 series is to old, their new phones aren't special appart from those expencive UIQ phones, and the F3 made many people angry.
I think motorola might quite providing phones to some parts of the world.
If they would stop it completly, it would open up the eyes of many americans, and many company's would battle to win the lost motorola fans/users.

Americans should start embracing handsets if Motorola will really QUIT the mobile-phone-market . . .

After those disappointing 2007 results im not realy suprised,although it would be sad to see them go. Moto seem to be one of the only manufacturers implementing the LINUX OS in to their phones, would have been interesting to see how the new Linux OS in Z6 would have done in newer Motos etc. . .
Moto realy have slowed down though, after the E398,V360 and V3 RAZR there was nothing amazing from them, they have only NOW put in a 3mp camera, and most if not all their phones don't have WiFi.

I guess that depends on which part of the world you are as well. Ask anyone here what a two way radio is and you'll get lots of blank faces. In the US for sure - its the two way radio.
