Are you trying to now argue Google got a better deal for Motorola Mobility than Microsoft for Nokia D&S? You really to like to swim upstream, Sylvester, because you are taking a lonely stance there. X-D Google has, in fact, suffered a rather humiliating (and expensive) string or recent court losses trying to extract any value from Motorola's patents. MS wasn't interested in Nokia's patents (they've lots of their own), just in using them for free while Nokia shakes down all of the other Android vendors. How much money do you think Google makes from Android? Do you think Motorola will reverse their YOY market share losses with their new phones?

Google bought the WHOLE company I think you mean the "WHOLE" "money losing" "POS", Motorola Mobility division. Was the plan to sell off the manufacturing and keep the patents (that have now proven to be a major write-down from expectations?) Here's a good read for you, from yesterday's news: Google's Motorola Mobility Loses To Microsoft On Patents forbes.com No, Sylvester. Samsung pays Microsoft $10 / handset for Microsoft's patents. And they pay Google 4.5 cents per handset for Motorola's patents. Microsoft's NOK purchase makes Google's MMI purchase look downright "moronic". The cost of Android will be considerable higher than Windows Phone once Nokia gets their new ARP (Android rape and pillage) division up and running. The deal was pure genius. Its great you've invested in Nokia! There may now finally be a way for you to actually see some money from Android
