The rumor I heard is they already signed a lease for those Nokia building. They want to be close to QCOM. SD will be where they run the product teams. Sunnyvale is where they’re currently running their feature teams. So, they’re basically concentrating in CA.[/quote]

If true, that is a rare piece of good news for the San Diego tech industry in a long time. Any idea if this actually means that people move here from elsewhere + new hires ? Or are they just moving folks that they currently have around Sorrento Valley to Scripps Ranch?[/quote]
My information is limited but this is what I’ve heard/know (we’ll find out by next year since their lease supposed to start beginning of 2011). Majority of the MOT employees in SD belongs to their government and set top box division. Mobile only have about 100-200 (not sure what the current number is after the layoff and people leaving). As I’ve said earlier, their lease for the Nokia building suppose to start in 2011. When they’ll fully move their headquarter to SD is unknown. SD MOT is currently responsible for driving product. There’s no feature development there. Features are being done in Sunnyvale. I heard that at the very least, they’ll move all the HR/accounting/etc. here. I’ve also heard they’ll be moving their R&D here too, or at least making the main R&D location be here. It make sense for product to be driven out of here, since any bugs related to QCOM chipset can be resolved much faster/cheaper here. I’m sure they’ll offer their engineers in Libertyville a chance to relocation here. It’s much cheaper for them to do that than do a layoff there. I’m not sure how many people they’ll hire here. Only time will tell.

Motorola own their Sorrento Valley buildings. But they’re leasing the Nokia buildings. My speculation is that the mobile devices will move out of Sorrento Valley into Nokia building and the rest of MOT will stay in Sorrento Valley. Their new mobile devices division (the new MOT) will be headquartered out of the Nokia builds and the spun off MOT will be in Sorrento Valley.[/quote]

The company is supposedly going to be split in two. So the current MOT in SD isn’t going to be the same as the new MOT.

From my observations, dev will be split among dev in china, dev in bangalore, and a smaller dev somewhere in u.s. Around the clock development anyone? Also, my buddies have informed me that “right sizing” has been ongoing…Ok that’s all folks. I need to talk to bangalore now (seriously)… Good night.

MOT in SD comprise of both settop box division that they’ll spin off and the mobile devices that will stay as the new MOT. Mobile devices is a small portion of total MOT in SD. GSM products was/is being run out of Libertyville. SD was/is responsible for their CDMA products (VZW and Sprint). My guess is, they’re going to combine both into 1 and have it all here in SD (or at least a good portion of it). They had devs in China, Korea, and India for a very long time now, so nothing is new. But the product team was/is still local for the US market (of course, for products being sold in other countries, they have product teams for those local markets too). They’ve been doing around the clock development for many years, it wasn’t fun but that’s the life.

BTW, MOT has been right sizing for the last 3 years. Nothing new hear. I don’t know how many new hire they’ll be looking for, but I’m sure not 100% of the people in Libertyville will want to move to SD. So they will have to fill those spots.

Jha lives in Scripps Ranch and is rumored to be building in RSF… He’s got to be tired of commuting on the company jet to Chicago. He never moved his family. I don’t see the Mot Mobility corp hq anywhere but San Diego. We’ll know soon enough… isn’t the split supposed to happen in Q1 2011?

Well, there has been a change of plan. Mr. Jha’s company will now have both mobile devices (small presence in SD) and set-top box operations (largely SD based).
