Samsung Rises Past Motorola to Take No. 2 Spot
Not Surprised at All, Here's Why
The reason why as an at&t employee I'm not surprised are for 3 main reasons.
1. The Samsung SYNC has out sold every mid range to high end phone (including the razr) on at&t.
2. The c417 since it has been released has absolutely dominated our entry level handset class. Motorola currently doesn't have an answer for it (at least on at&t).
3. The BlackJack has outsold every other smart phone/PDA on at&t with the exception of the Blackberries (only if you add the sales of the pearl/8800/curve/8700).
All in all, Even before these numbers were released, I noticed that 7/10 phones that were leaving my store seemed to be Samsungs. Also, the amount of advertising that at&t did on the BlackJack and SYNC was absolutely sick. And not ment...

Not to mention that, despite this, I get more of the Motorolas I sell returned than the Samsungs, despite the fact that I sell about two or three times as many of the latter. Samsung is dominating the American GSM market right now, no question.
Motorola's problems stem from their utter lack of innovation. Newsflash: the RAZR has been out for 3 years... It's not that cool anymore. They need to stop making all their phones look the same. They also need to have decent entry level phones... V365, WTF? Phone is like 2 inches thick and it's like $110 after rebate. Mo...
