Their high dollar high profit smart phones haven't caught on. Most of the rest of their lineup isn't all that great - and Nokia and LG (especially LG) have been pressuring them hard.
the phone that I've seen alot of is the E815, and that phone is absolutely horrible. The charging ports break constantly.
