That is hard to believe. Still haven't accounted for Samsung, Sony Ericsson, HTC, and LG.
They are accounted for in the original article.... See the attached picture.
You mean to tell me they *ALL* ran losses?
No. Whatever gave you that idea?
That they all were giving away cellphones at below cost of manufacturing prices?
Most of them had modest profits, while Motorola made substantial losses.
How did the analyst get the profit margin for the company's specific cellphone business?
Um, I believe just about every company report their results split according to different divisions. Nokia does, Apple does, and I bet that Samsung, Motorola and others do as well.
If those companies may zero (or negative profit ... gave away phones)
What exactly makes you think that operating at a loss means that they are "giving away" phones?
Negative profits..... what is that suppose to be???????
I believe the more common word for it is "losses".... You know, like "negative growth" and such.
I thought that the article was quite obvious in it's meaning, but apparently some people are confused by it....
