Hewlett-Packard Co’s Todd Bradley appears to be a favorite to head Motorola Inc’s mobile handset unit, as reported by Wall Street Journal.

Motorola hunting for a new cell phone unit chief for more than four months is reportedly in later stage talks with few candidates.

In fact two candidates are into consideration by Motorola but the talks may fall apart anytime due to its sensitive nature, further revealed the newspaper.

The identity of the other candidate is not disclosed yet but he seems to be one of the telecommunications executive, says the paper.
