Motorola Posts Quarterly Loss; Samsung Passes Motorola and N
Looks like Motorola has lost its RAZR momentum. Samsung recently dethroned Motorola from the number 2 spot. While the margin is not big, the bad news for Motorola is that Samsung's handset shipments are rising and Moto's is falling. While Motorola has announced a slew of products in the recent times, that too in a variety of colors, nothing seems to be helping it capture the attention of the buyers like the RAZR.
When the Q was launched on Verizon over an year ago, it was touted as the form-factor or a platform on which other products will be based. While we have seen leaked photos and reviews, we haven't seen the update to the original Q. And also missing from the carriers line-up is the GSM version. On top of the delayed execution, it seems like Motorola is paying to much attention to the external appearance. The original CDMA Q suffered from poor battery life and from what I have learnt from the informal reviews of the pre-production update to the CDMA Q, the battery life is still an issue. Hoping that Motorola regains its act, and starts focusing on execution and quality.
