Review: I believe things are changing for Motorola the same way iPods changed Apple's fortunes. Indians are narrow minded: they just don't have any taste when it comes to buying phones. They would buy Nokias just for the heck of it. BTW, I'm using an L6 now, and my previous phone was the E398. I just love the designs Motorola comes up with. They rule!

Review: I have to appreciate the super quality of Nokia's cellphones, but the problems of Moto are pretty many. When catching up in the fashion and slim designs of cellphones, Moto should also strengthen the quality of its products, which is the focus.

Review: Mobile means Nokia in India (it has 80% market share), and that shows Nokia's ability to make the world's second fastest growing mobile market believe its handsets are the best -- which may not be necessarily true. (For the record, I use Siemens). Nokia should be admired for creating such an impact, whereas companies like Siemens and Motorola make great products, but sadly fail to convey that. Sad because monopolies are not good for consumers! No matter the admirability, I will never buy a Nokia, but I will definitely buy Nokia's shares!

Review: Nokia makes great product. Their phones are tough and can take a knock or two. Mine fell off a two-story balcony onto concrete and still works! Have a friend who owns razor and says he gets a lot of echo.

Review: Motorola was a hit with the Razor but that is it. Nokia has engineered the future of cell phone capabilities and technology and will continue to do so for years to come. Until Motorola can bring a new convenience factor to the cell phones (other than its size) it will never gain the customer loyalty that Nokia obtains, which along with its technological advances causes it to be the leader in the market. The Razr was the phone for the time, there are only so many upgrades and alterations consumers will tolerate before their patience is tried and they turn to the phones with easy downloadable upgrades and superior features to the Razr, such as many of Nokia's phones.

Review: Motorola is reaping the benefits of good moves made a year and half ago. With the new momentum gained with recent phones, Nokia is in a strong position to march towards the magic number 40% market share.

Review: Living in Asia for work you have quite a different perspective on the mobile phone market. The phones on the US market are months and sometimes even years behind what is available in Asia. In fact, the RAZR is not popular at all in Bangkok and can be purchased cheaply. Moto phones actually are not very popular at all. Nokia dominates this marktet and they will have to come up with some unique phones to make a dent in the market in Thailand. I think the same holds true in Singapore and other SE Asian countries which are slowly having a greater and greater influence on the market as more and more people own and use mobile phones.

Review: To beat Nokia in India, Motorola will not only need great products with value but also need to shift the paradigm of millions of handset users who have learned to attach to mobile networks using Nokia.
