According to CIBC analyst Ittai Kidron Samsung can overtake Motorola in terms of market share for the second quarter. That assessment is based on Motorola’s current pull-back in emerging markets and its move to introduce higher-end devices in late 2007.

Meanwhile, Samsung is looking at a significant increase in handset shipments in the second quarter as much of its growth comes from low-tier, GSM-based replacement markets in Asia, Kidron said.

IN  estimates Motorola will ship 40 million phones in the second quarter, less than any quarter in more than a year.

According to  Sprint Nextel it would acquire Northern PCS Services in Minnesota for $312.5 million. The agreement, which includes an unspecified amount of assumed debt, is expected to close in the third quarter.

Since the completion of its $35 billion merger with Nextel in 2005, Sprint has had to deal with disputes with its various affiliates who believed the acquisition violated their exclusivity agreement with Sprint. Last year Sprint bought Ubiquitel for $1.3 billion in cash.
