The End for Motorola?
It was said that Motorola, which used to be the number one cellphone manufacturer, will sell their cell phone division. Just like Siemens which was purchased by BenQ, will Motorola's mobile phone reign have the same fate as Siemens? It seems that what makes them to take this path is the fact that they have loss around five hundred and fifty three million dollars in last year sales. They went to the second place of cellphone manufacturer in 2006, but to make it worse, they drop to the third spot in the market in 2007. The second spot was taken by Samsung which unlike Motorola, shows a better improvement in last year sales. This seems to be the cause of Motorola to have such a big loss in their sales, despite their success in RAZR models this past few years. Thus, Motorola did not confirm that they will take the same path as Siemens, but it was known that they are looking for a buyer. It seems they are at the point where it is all or nothing. The other options for Motorola is to build a stand alone company for their cellphone division. But, it is their decision, as we can only sit and wait. Thus it will be a great changes or it will be the last time we see Motorola take part in the cellphone's market competition?
