Motorola is likely to fall to fifth place in world cellphone marketshare based on shipment estimates allegedly leaked from companies involved in making the phones in Taiwan. They now predict that the American phone creator will have shipped a relatively low 22 million to 23 million phones in its spring quarter. The number would drop Motorola from fourth to fifth place and give it just 7.3 percent of the market while Sony Ericsson would take over the new spot, climbing to exactly eight percent.

Well.Still a rumour, will he very sad if this happens.SE will hopefully retain the 3rd position in the next quarter with some great phones in their lineup.

Wrong. I have the Moto Q9. And it really rocks. And in my personal opinion, it is even better than blackberry.
