I wonder if Lenovo will use Motorola to help get into the premium phone business or the budget phone business.
Ah ok.They already do both over in China, it's more an easy pathway to the United States market. I'd imagine Motorola under Lenovo will make devices that fill the smartphone price spectrum
Android has improved in the fact that if the flash memory is internal the system partition where apps install can use all the flash memory instead of a measly 1Gb on the old android phone, the sd card is a virtual partition that is the size of the unused space, install more apps and the sd card is smallerBexwhitt... I couldn't understand your final paragraph as much as I tried...

But is it sustainable? From what I gather that's not the case. Motorola can produce cheaper than most but they're selling at a loss. Nokia isn't very profitable either but they try to make it profitable, they're not underselling. With these devices Google obviously is trying to keep WP out of the game but they're also killing the margins for their own OEMs. Google sold Motorola so it's a non-issue now but otherwise this could have killed the low-end market.How Android should be done and hopefully other OEMs will take notice.

Wait and see what Lenovo will do with it. As it is they have an excellent lineup of dual sim phones + really excellent Yoga tablets.I got one and I like it. Too bad Google sold Motorola...
