Motorola buys Lucent's handset business.

The Wall Street Journal is reporting that Motorola is buying Lucent's wireless handset business. I guess this isn't really a problem for QCOM, since the Lucent handsets were a flop. However, it does mean that MOT is determined to get a decent product out in this area. Here's a clip from the article:


People close to the situation say that while the deal includes a laboratory in Piscataway, N.J., it is essentially a bid for the expertise of about 300 highly regarded Lucent engineers. In fact, the entire deal was contingent on the engineers becoming Motorola employees. "The facility will be operated as a state of the art Motorola design center," said a spokesman.
