Yes, boys and girls, Moto's claim to be the worlds second handset manufacturer is now in tatters after finally being overtaken by Samsung in terms of units shipped. I think I can safely say that today is a good day :)

The de-throning comes by the narrowest of margins: Sammy's 37.4m shipped handsets in Q2 verses Motorola's 36m, but with the former clearly on an upward spiral and the latter overly reliant rehashing the increasingly decrepit RAZR it would appear this gap will only widen. In fact Samsung's figures are up an incredible 50 per cent over the same period last year while Motorola continues to struggle in the European market (a sign of our good taste?).
