Got a list? Casually observing, it feels as though Motorola releases less phones than everyone else. Aren't they 7th in worldwide (all) phone shipments?
I think Motorola's problem is that it seems like they've put all their muscle behind phones for Verizon.
I was curious about that list...and you have a point. Samsung has released more recent phones than Moto combined on all 4 of the major carriers.
Most of Moto phones? On Verizon. They have ZERO on T Mobile now.
According to the websites anyway....
Totals from Samsung, HTC and Moto?:
Samsung - 23
HTC - 13
Moto - 13
This is some of the phones tho; like the Eris, Incredible 1 and Droid 1, 2 and 3 isnt on the website. For some reason the HTC Incredible 2 isnt showing up...oh well. Even if you add the Droid X1, Droid 1,2,3 that still doesnt match Samsung.
Add to that Moto doesnt even do WP7 phones...and Moto isnt releasing too many phones. Maybe too many of the same model or similar. Not diverse enough. But Samsung has them beat for total phones released. What I have noticed is Moto isnt doing too many Cliq type phones anymore...while Samsung has released more of those mid range, low end phones on other carriers.
Maybe Moto needs to start doing more mid range, low end phones again.
Just like with some ppl and what they think about Android vs. the iPhone and it going to Verizon was gonna be the Death of Android...Android exists outside of Verizon. Moto doesnt have a big smartphone presence on the other major carriers.
