        Anonymous, 10 May 2010Well, this just shows how blind SE fans are. They think SE ... moreWell of course SE is not there for Q1, the X10 only started to ship in Q2, so we'll see how its smartphone sales go. And SE fans or any fans as a matter wouldn't think their favourite company is the absolutely best or watever that is just plain stupid. Only fanboys/trolls think like that and bash other companies. People should respect others and be realistic! To best honest any company can be the "top dog" as long as they come up with something groundbreaking like the iphone was a few years ago. Just be excited to wait and see!

            Well, this just shows how blind SE fans are. They think SE is the best, but in reality it is nowhere to be found. And X10 is only being bought by die hard fanboys. It is not enough to be a big dog in the industry.

              100 Moto, 10 May 2010Mind to elaborate how you calculated the numbers? "... moreI dont mind, and I dont have to. But if you're insist, I will tell you. Nokia got 50 pct of 33 M - that means 16.5 M, SE and Samsung are not mentioned in the news, while I'm pretty sure they also have shipped their smartphones. Assume 1 million shipments is the total number from both halfmighty brands (not too optimistic number) has accidentaly moved to almighty brand's data, then... (or has it moved to motorola's data?)

                    "60 pct of smartphones (55 millions units shipments) are touchscreen phones (about 33 millions units) and 50 pct of them (17.5 millions) are from the Almighty Brand."

                      [deleted post]Just curious, you said SE's touchscreen sales grew by near 300%, do you happen to have the actual numbers in terms of "units" being sold?

                        [deleted post]You right man. . . I have read the news that SE's smartphone increase 292%.. The analysis comes from the same source 'canalys'. I always wonder, whats going on with gsmarena todays when it comes to SE. I read gsmarena since 2006. Its the most credible phone related website. but now, i totally lost my trust on you. If there's news about hell ugly sammy or iFruit, gsmarena puts all their efforts lol,, for example, see samsung w960 3D. Even its not the 1st 3D phone in the world, it isn't run in Gsm either...

                        Yep, x10 mini won the best design from red dot orgnzation..

                        Come on gsmarena, be honest and credible again

                          Most only use the phones for voice calls / SMS only.

                                Anonymous, 09 May 2010Well if the phones are not out yet then don't talk about th... moreHere are couple examples of how Moto builds the "quality phones"...

                                Case 1 - my friend had an N76, who dropped the phone once and the flip was broken already, as it overturned over 180 degrees and the open to answer / close to end function no longer worked. My brother's wife used a Moto V3maxx and dropped it at least 30~50 times, and the phone worked as the way it should be all these years.

                                Case 2 - I had friends who used phones like K700, and when my friend was in noisy environment, all I could hear was the background noise and everything else EXCEPT his own voice. Meanwhile, my other friend was using Moto U9, and one day I asked as if he was at home, he said he was at a carnival.

                                The cases above proved build and voice quality of Moto phones. What else you want to compare being the "best" as a phone? Cmaera?

                                    Of course as the iPhone has a multitasking UNIX based OS, has it's own SDK allowing installation of native Applications, has advanced connectivity such as 3G, WiFi, Bluetooth and Web browsing, HTML based email etc I'm sure a lot of experts in the field would tend not to agree with you.

                                    But who are they to argue with you, a legend in your own mind.

                                      1. SMARTPHONES people who used them like connectivity, large screens and a GB's of memory - no one gives a sh*t for a camera
                                      2. MUSIC PHONES mostly liked from teenagers and students - sound and camera sells this kind of phones
                                      3. IMAGE PHONES - fashion phones, steel phones, /including APPLE - most people bye it because is expensive/ - expensive useless sh*ts which can be used only for call - popular for bad-ass village peoples in big cities
                                      4. CHEAP PHONES - used for calls only used for second headset, in offices, for work and from older people
