Motorola has suffered a devastating defeat in the Chinese market – one of the most important in terms of mass consumer demand. According to the EJL Wireless Research, a U.S. company moved to third place in the ranking of the largest suppliers of GSM-phones, leaving forward Samsung.
Nokia remains far ahead.
