Companies like Nokia and Motorola are building a lot more feature rich phones and it's the increase in components costs that's starting to hurt them. They're adding more chips per phone but are not getting corresponding price increases in the phones. |
In my mind, components are the place to be. |
The numbers are absolutely terrible. Nokia's clearly not a growth stock. |
There were two things investors hated about Motorola: Chris Galvin and the semi business. Now they are getting rid of both. |
You can't sell a phone for more than $150. I don't care if it can vacuum your house. Consumers are very price sensitive. |
