Let's not forget, Motorola was the company which had around 23% market share while Nokia had 29% a few years ago (2-3).Nokia realized Moto is a treath to their leadership and dealt with them accordingly ! Now Nokia has 40% and Moto has about 40-29  Lets hope that other companies don't venture too close to Nokia's empire otherwise they may go Moto's way I remember the time SE was created - everyone said Nokia will be 'dethroned' as market leader within a few years. Now we have 2008 and . . . Actually it might be good this way. If SE remains below 10% Nokia won't bother, but samsung is another story. GO SAMSUNG GO |

But you forget, SE's average selling price is 1.5 times that of Nokia, therefore SE need less sales to make the similar profits. It's all about the money after all.
Most people agree Moto's problems are because of Moto's decisions not Nokia's. That's probably why the changed CEO.

@ Mario,
Exactly how many Nokia shares do you have?
He who laughs last... thinks slowest.
Nokia 5800, Sony Ericsson P1i, Nokia 7600. |

I have mentioned already in your 'local tread', I have sold all of them last month and made a nice profit in less then a year. The bastards made lot's of money out of me before that. Is nice to have 'turned the table' for a change I can't believe you've missed that post of mine - judging by the nr of hours/day you spend in here
And yes, I believe the Moto boss pretty much runned out of options because of stiff competition from the 'Bastards', and I also believe, while SE, Alcatel, LG etc etc are too small to cause a concern, Samsung is 'another story'. Actually is all what stands between the 'Bastards' and total marked domination ala Microsoft  GO Samsung GO

@Janbobejan: you shouldn't praise 1 of the most "evil" brands in the world here. Keep in mind that you live in a country where people die everyday for a small price. Go praise sucksum on mobile review
With Ericsson and Nokia gone: we must keep their spirits alive and buy JOLLA or YOTA |

Motorola CEO Greg Brown takes personal control of phone division
"The drama at Motorola just keeps coming -- apparently CEO Greg Brown has now taken direct personal control of the mobile phone division in an effort to turn it around. Of course, this move -- announced in an internal email leaked to Reuters -- comes in the wake of buyout rumors and Motorola's own admission that it might spin the handset unit off. We're not certain what steps Greg plans to take now that's he holding the reins, but we might know some people who might have some ideas."

Samsung not eyeing Motorola mobile ops
"Samsung Electronics Co. remains optimistic about its handset sales business in 2008 and is not interested in Motorola's mobile unit, a top Samsung executive said Tuesday.
Choi Gee-sung, president of Samsung's telecommunications division, said during an interview with CNBC that Samsung was not interested in acquiring Motorola's handset business because the South Korean company's handset division already has a strong presence in the United States.
"Our market share in the States represents around 20 percent to 25 percent," Choi said. "We don't need to consider acquisition of any others."
Choi also said the company expects strong handset sales in 2008 despite growing fears of an economic slowdown.
Consumers in emerging markets like the Middle East and Eastern Europe, as well as in Korea, China and India, have not been as worried about a recession as people in the U.S. and developed European markets, he said."

Nah Mario; like most of your phone-related posts, I just didn't bother paying much attention to it.
