Moto Razr and to a lesser extent the canbybar slim phone I forget the name of now (Zizrrzr?) are largely to thank for the big leap in its market share. However, the new version of the Razr (again, what the hell is it call Krzrfrzs?) is not selling as expected and Q4 CY06 results for Moto were bad.. so we'll see how they will do this year, a lot rests on the Motophone in terms of market share, but I doubt it helps them in profit terms much (remember the quote from an analyst that said Nokia has 10-14% margins in low end handsets, and Moto 2%!! Auchh... :)) The other interesting thing is that "Other" share is dropping fast. The ex-CEO of Nokia predicted exactly that: market will consolidate to fewer players. I guess Apple will try to take this share up a bit in the coming years. :) Samsung share is also down which is also interesting - at some point they seemed like a real threat to Moto and Nokia, not so much anymore.

Samsung share is also down which is also interesting – at some point they seemed like a real threat to Moto and Nokia, not so much anymore.
