...the problem, my dear Akshat, is that despite that "healthy" lead in market share in the US market, Motorola is loss making on its handset business, AND the other half of its operations only just make enough money to cover that loss, to give a 1% OP margin for the company as a whole, barely enough to cover the interest they have to pay on their $4bn debt.
In a nutshell, the US market is not enough! Nokia has around 40% of WW share (incl US) vs. Motorola's 10%. And Nok seems to be gaining more and more and Mot keeps dropping it. :(
