It has been a solid tick since Motorola had a quarterly earnings report that it didn’t just send over via the paper airplane method and run for the hills, but the most recent one was actually worth cracking a smile over. After moving more mobiles in North America than it expected too, shares shot up 13% and bullish analysts began to think that the worst was over. Chief Executive Greg Brown noted that Moto will be “adding substantially to its product portfolio” in this place in the near future, which will hopefully enable it to get a stronger grasp on the number 3 handset maker ranking. During the most recent quarter, the outfit shipped 28.1 million phones to just barely maintain its market share lead over LG, though it remains to be seen if it can keep this up. No pressure Moto, no pressure at all.

Remember back in those freewheelin’ days of 2006 when men were men, phones were phones, and Motorola was rumored to have been seriously considering taking Sagem off Safran Group’s hands? Yeah, well those days are long gone; Moto’s a mere husk of what it once was at the peak of the RAZR craze, and Concerning Sagem, they’re getting ready to fly the “under new ownership” banner in front of headquarters. Venture capital firm Sofinnova has purchased 90 percent of Sagem for around €220 million ($343 million) off current parent Safran, intending to rename it Sagem Wireless (don’t get too crazy with the name change there, guys) and turn it into an all-ODM shop not unlike fellow French firm ModeLabs. Roughly half of Sagem’s staff will survive the transfer intact, while most of the rest should be offered jobs in Safran’s other lines of business or firms in which Sofinnova holds a stake.
