Yaacov:
I have owned Motorola stock for 2 years and have a loss too. It is my opinion that Motorola lacks an overall centrally focused purpose such as Cisco or Dell. They just do not seem to be focused--just a bunch of subgroups that do their own thing. They end up going to market with products that are already somewhat obsolete.
They seem to spend a lot of dollars hyping 6 sigma quality and it is the one thing that comes to mind when I hear their name. Other than that I do not identify their name with products.

The beauty of owning Motorola stock is that one can buy and sell it and never incur capital gains tax.

Yaacov hold on to your shares.
I think MOT EPS projections are too high right now (How could they improve so much from where they are now). IF MOT get it's act together It will be a great investment. MOT has lost in Europe but it has a lot of weight in North America. IF they hold their market leadership in US that's plenty. MOT has GSM phones and soon they will have CDMA phones too. I am holding on for now.
