Google gets to keep the patent portfolio, but will license it to Lenovo.

Did anyone see this coming? I haven't heard a peep about this anywhere on the sites I visit. Not sure what the long term will be but hopefully Lenovo will introduce some Motorola WP phones in the next few months.

Motorola WP would be nice.

I didn't believe it until I saw it reported on Android Central I thought it was a joke.

It will take about 6 months at least to complete the sale, and it will be next year before Lenovo inspired Motorola's start flowing to the market.

As for a WP-Lenovo or Moto, we will have to see. I kinda doubt it. It would be great, but I see Android being their focus.

If Samsung/Sony/HTC WP's are more succesful in the wake of Nokia being bought by MS this year, then a Moto WP might make sense. We can hope. I would love to see it.

I sure didn't see this coming. It shocked the dog-crud out of me when I read the headlines.
