Another sad day for Motorola. It’s not official yet, but according to Bloomberg, LG may have sold more than Moto in the last quarter, which means LG is 3rd, while Samsung remains in second place after Nokia. Moto sales fell 26% and Bloomberg pegs actual sales at 26.1 million handset. Sony Ericsson, which have also been slipping very steeply, may soon find itself ahead of Motorola as well with 24.4 million sales. If you see a silver lining in Motorola’s handset business, send us a message via the comments section.
