Nokia passes Motorola

In the United States, there are plenty of viable options for smartphone manufacturers. Nokia, once the top dog in mobile, bounced back from the bottom to move ahead of Motorola for the #4 spot.

According to a new report from research firm Counterpoint, Nokia became the fourth largest OEM to ship smartphones in the US for Q3 2013. The Finnish company came in at fourth place with 4.4 percent, behind HTC which held 8.6 percent. There’s a big gap after that though, with Samsung and Apple supposedly neck and neck at 33 percent of the US market.
