Motorola Sees Q1 Sales Slump

May 4th, 2009 · Source [Androidcommunity] · No Comments

Troubled Motorola has more bad news for industry analysts as its first quarter results don’t look too rosy. The manufacturer fell just short of its goal of $5.62 billion in sales with sales of $5.4 billion. Motorola’s handset division accounted for $1.8 billion of that figure with 14.7 million handsets having been shipped, which gives Motorola a 6% share of the global mobile phone market. Although some had projected worse the end result was a 45% downturn in sales in its handset division in comparison to Q1 2008, reaffirming the trouble that the handset division has seen of late. What all this translates to is a $291 million loss for the company, which Motorola hopes can be turned around with the launch of various new handsets this year, including at least running Android.
