Motorola dominates, Nokia struggles in GSM

Based on what?
Nokia is releasing as many new handsets as anyone else. Based on current trends their handsets have equal problems, so they will get equal bad press. Motorola, Samsung and LG aren't slowing down.

I don't know what he based his comment on, but if the Nokia N or E series gets a good release push in the US, that could be what does it. I'd like to have the N91 or any of the E series. Those are "gotta have" phones.

They look like nice phones, I agree. But to make up that big of a gap he other handset manufacturers would have to completely lay down as well as Nokia doing better.
Used to be Nokia was always a close second and a good hanhdset could make up the difference. Samsung, Kyocera, LG, Sony Ericsson, etc. have all taken their market share and Motorola has continued it's rise.

I think Nokia's lack of cdma phones hurts their presence here. The only reason LG sells anything is because of cdma, though they have begun to pick up steam with gsm. I think about 95% of the phones sold by Nokia are gsm.
