Perhaps Nokia should buy Motorola's phone division :-). Nokia just does not seem to be able to make it in the US and Motorola seems to be doing decently here.

@Tomi

It seems Motorola's Co-CEO is satisfied with Q1 results:

It really seems bad for Motophone (the handset part of the Motorola). They stopped selling "dumbphones" in transition, lost the rest of the brand recognition and are now facing all the Android competition.

What they probably lost long time ago is the "design to cost" against Nokia and others. A phone is a complex item and requires extreme attention in production, logistics planning, software process control etc.

There is probably a slight difference between " Shock and Awe" and "Blitzkrieg". "Shock and Awe" uses multiple approaches simultaneously. "Blitzkrieg" has one spearhead. The use of "Shock and Awe" requires superiority in several areas.

Samsung, as it has big advantage in scale, will most probably come in with "Shock and Awe", and release several Android handsets with different prices and form factors in short time. Samsung will have lower prices.

It is very hard to see that Motophone will survive. And I am a bit afraid of Apple, too, for the same reason. Apple has a perfect brand, but it is being hunted.

With these figures we can also then get total regional sales of US unit shipments and total sales revenues by dumbphones and smartphones. And the same for the rest of the world.

And I do want to take lessons from it if we can. So I dug through the Q1 Earning's Call for critical Motorola details to get more to the bottom of their plight.
