@Bonovox,

Yeah the se store link doesnt work for me either, but you can buy from within the same site..

Ok cool

Posted by nikos_se
If a buyout does happen,all the prototypes that se has for 2012,may just get rebranded.The same thing that happened with ericsson portfolio,when the JV was created.Afterall,xperia is a really strong brand,especially in Japan,where xperia handsets are the top selling smartphones.

No doubt they will be forced to make some sort of statement if the rumours are being reported so widely by the WSJ etc.

Rumours were flying around in the weeks before the 10th birthday, may be this new crop of rumours stems from there.

Such rumours are easily picked up by reputable publications even if they may be complete fabrication. It is the original source that is in question here, ie, those who are said to be close to the story.


this clearly doesn't matter
if sites like buisnessweek reuters wsj are reporting something like this, it makes an impact on investors analysts ...

Who exactly are those 'majority of the people' who don't know Ericsson? Ericsson was the successful cellphone manufacturer between the two parents and was clearly better known as a cellphone company than Sony the cellphone manufacturer.




Maybe, but sony is one of the main electronic companies it's name is known all over the world and is extremely well known, find me someone who doesn't know about sony. Ericsson compared obviously doesn't come close, and so when people hear sony ericsson, they know sony so they presume its sony. try googling 'is ericsson' the result that pops down as a suggestion search is 'is ericsson part of sony' and try 'is sony' and you get 'is sony ericsson part of sony'. Then of course sony ericsson are using all the brands of sony to sell their phones, walkman, cyber-shot, bravia, exmor-r etc. which further would make people presume its only sony. Okay ericsson stuff is used too, but that is much more behind the scenes and isn't used in advertising etc.


My point, if you ask someone about sony ericsson so many people who don't follow technology wouldn't think twice. Look at the SE facebook page the comments section is always full of 'i love sony' 'sony is best'

Patents prey? I'm afraid.

Both have very good technology but unable to combined them together, iSad will continue without the end of tunnel in both tragic if this rumour become true!

Generally recognized as Sony standalone in this JV things but I don't think it will be going well if Sony buy out happen.

Samsung already overtaken most of Asian markets as well as HTC dominating American market and both doing well in penetrating to European market.

Sony still need Ericsson to defense it last fan-based (and know how & patents) in Europe which is reasonable strong.

Haven't count Apple iPhone which is flying high. Both firms need to combined their business together to stay in this business or both out!

@Adsada,

You said people search the net for is ericsson part of sony, or does sony ericsson belong to sony, its true they do search that alot, and thankfully they do, so after asking that question they do come to know that its a diffrent company. SO that in itself give sony ericsson its own recognition.

Also its pretty common for people to shorten a company to its first name, for example johnson & johnson, people call it only johnson, does it mean they like first johnson and not the second one ?

I think the market sales and success of tablet S and tablet P(or was it s2) will decide if sony can be successful on their own as a phone company because thats the closest they have done to compete against other phone manufacturers..

Posted by goldenface
Bringing the mobile development in-house is probably a very good move for Sony.

Yes but my point is that only the people who bother to research it (google it) will discover they are 2 seperate companies, the majority of people wouldn't bother to check my point about google was only to show that that is the kind of thing people wonder, and so they do not know.

Posted by motvikt
In the ongoing patent war Sony will need Ericsson. They have all the phone related patents. And Im not so sure Sony can manage a phone company alone. They couldn't before when they were a lot stronger, why should they be able now when all their businesses are going down the drain. Used to always buy vaio, now Im looking at the new ultrabooks, no vaio is even interesting, to pricey for what you get. Same with bravia, samsung cost less, is better looking, equal or better screen quality and you can just connect an external hdd and watch 1080p from it, supports every format available. Sonys tablets maybe are cool, well no one is gonna buy them anyway when they can get a samsung tablet with better specs for less money. Soon Asus transformer will come out with tegra3, probably cheaper than sonys.

Sony has zero innovation these days. God damn, sure hope there is no truth in this. Seriously Im going back to iphone if it happens.

edit. Just read it also involves buying the patents. Ah well..

They are all copying Apple, and that's the problem. (Spare your words and do not start a debate on that)
Think new, think big! What's the next thing?
We need a product that would make the iPhone 4S look old, really old. Just like the iPhone did to my W960 back in the days.
Please, anyone, THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX!

Hmm SE is strong in north europe and japan. If Sony buys out Ericsson they will loose ground in Europe. No one in Sweden will buy a all Sony phone

Posted by nikos_se
If the buyout is going to happen,three things are possible.

1.Sony keeps semi-indepedent(like Sony Computer Entertainment,Sony Music,Sony Pictures),renaming it to Sony Mobile or something and giving it a new logo,but merges R&D and distribution channels,with its own.

2.Sony completely absorbs ,moving it to Japan,and creates a xperia team,like they have the vaio team,the bravia team,etc.

3.Sony keeps as it is,but renames it to Sony Mobile and gives it a new logo,and more HW and SW support.


I believe that if the buyout does happen,scenario 1 and 3 are the most ideal,cause wont lose its european spirit.

the forth option is that sony keeps the brand sony ericsson as nothing more the a legacy. I think this brand is far too strong and well known just to kill it off.

If Sony are paying 1billion+ euros, they're going to want to get rid of the Ericsson part of the name and make sure consumers know exactly where its coming from

edit: and companies often rebrand products and consumers get used to it. netflix are currently doing exactly that in the states right now. Sure, there's the usual complaints etc but people will get used to it

Good comment on engadget.

"What a lot of American-biased tosh. SE always has always been one of the "alpha dogs" over the years. The USA is not the world. SE brought (superior ) European thinking to the mobile world.

I also think this is a bad move for SE fans. Most of the decent stuff IMO has came from the Ericsson side. The company would do better if BOTH parties saw the bigger picture and invested more in it. Sony just has not been pulling it's weight and should be putting more efforts to make SE a bigger part of its overall strategy.

Actually, I think given their current cash status, Ericsson would be better suited to buy out SE! (The JV was created in the first place because Ericsson was almost bankrupted by Philips chip supply issues and needed the cash from Sony - now we have the opposite where Sony is losing billions and Ericsson is sitting on a massive cash pile!).

IMO Sony buying it out will ruin the company. It will destroy the European-driven mindset which made SE unique and will replace it with an inefficient Japan/US behemoth such as Sony with a culture dominated by Japanese isolationist eccentricity which has no understanding of users and combine that with US-based sheer-greed, incompetency and inefficiency and complete lack of style. There is a reason why Sony are losing billions and there is no need to inflict that fate on a joint-venture that is currently superior to Sony itself. "


Remember it was the Ericsson part who made unlocking bootloaders possible, Sony would never allow that

Posted by Legen
A sony buy-out would be a good thing. Maybe we would see the return of cybershot and walkman, even more playstation integration(microsoft just added xbox control to their phones).
The catch is that they may stop producing low and mid range phones and focus on high end sony being SONY(ceo guy did mention that is the direction they hope to go)

Anyway, the dual core will be overshadowed by some more powerful phones at the next MWC. It isn't such a bad thing but a quick release of optimised hardware would be most welcome. Quad and Dual core won't give you much difference so *if the has a top camera module, it'll be fine. The main camera competition is from Nokia but their priorities are different and they're handicapping their phones with Windows. HTC and Moto aren't anything special for camera. The new Nexus which is expected before MWC, will have the same flavour as most upcoming devices. Samsung, HTC and Apple are announcing soon, also have something for their anniversary which should be something good.


I know you usually have inside info etc, but unlike what u said, it seemed didn't really announce or celebrate the 10th anniversary globally or unveil anything special for it.

Posted by Legen
Btw return of brands like cybershot and walkman is definately needed. HTC are doing their Beats thing for music, what if they get camera people like carl zeiss? HTC is being smart, sonyericsson/sony should do the same. Sony should use the brands to market their phones. More bravia, high end cybershot and high end walkman(this will also kill iphone 4s while it snoozes)

Well, SE seems to have decided to use the Walkman brand on low-end devices. My guess is they're treating the Xperia brand as the premium, all-encompassing brand, especially since all the Xperia phones use Mobile Bravia Engine and most of them use Exemor R sensors (the Exemor R being something associated with Cybershots). The Live with Walkman's player seems to just be a skinned and branded version of SE's customized Android media player.

I don't think the buy out thing is "new" to us here, many of us saw this coming, but for sure Sony can use all of its potential should the buy out completes. but this doesn't mean Ericsson is doing a bad job nor SE. we all know how Sony strangulated SE.

One thing i expect would be that Next-gen SE phones would be more innovative/unique and might pack really powerful hardware, whether we like it or not Sony is doing great at those things after all.

I agree, they need to clarify this as soon as yesterday.

Back in 2009 they ignored the same type of rumours but this time they need to come out with a statement.

I also don't see Ericsson selling Sony their patents, that will be like selling your soul.

Heck, maybe they should break up! Sony has been killing the innovative spirit of Ericsson for far too long. Let Sony make this Sony Mobile or whatever and fail cause that is what I see happening.

I am already going Blackberry and was looking at the iPhone should SE not make it. So, if Sony buys out Ericsson then I will be having one Blackberry and one iPhone in my pockets.

That's clearly a form of sensational journalism filled with hatred to anything related to US/Japan. i still wonder why people read on that site when they knew the articles were emotionally loaded. I have a form of love-hate realationships with US brands but they sit on top of my desk because they do the job really well, same thing for Japan products which are really great products, And the author seems to forgot that the camera he is using for his journalism is a Canon/Nikon/Olympus/Panasonic or is he using HP/Kodak cameras?

@Dups:
If i were you i'll give them some chance to see what happens after the first SE phone under the Sony brand rolls out. if it disappoints then it's all over. the only thing that worries me would be the much higher price tag (as if SE phones were not too expensive at times). as Sony is infamous for this.

@razec

You know, that is a excellent advice but I am just not convinced that Sony alone will be able to take the mobile phone division to greater heights. I have always pointed out that the old Sony was amazing and innovative but this new Sony is confused and lazy, it actually lacks the direction and spirit of the old Sony and anything they touch dies. That, sadly, is what happens when you rest on your laurels after you have annihilated the competition. Funny thing is that the new Sony-ness crept into SE when they surrendered their massive lead in the cellphone industry and let new kids on the block like Samsung, Apple and HTC beat them.

Sony is struggling and it will continue this way. Look at every sphere of their business. I

I will, to be fair, give them the chance to see what they come up with and how it works but I am not holding my breath.

One thing they will do is bring the hardware into their phones, assuming this 'deal' goes ahead.

Who knows, maybe they will prove me wrong and succeed, maybe they will make me a fan of Sony Mobile or whatever it will be called.

I agree... what I`m talking about, even Sony itself admit that they were late for digital tech couple of years ago, and they still play catch up in all fronts. Anyway if this deal is going to happen we have to give them chance, and probably will.

Posted by pmugghc
I think this will be very bad. Sony is on the decline on most fronts, they are slow, bureaucratic and they don't know software. Their different product groups work in isolated "silos", each its own fiefdom. Very little sharing.

Posted by razec
so to discuss the subject of this forum topic, what exactly is Aoba? a "blue" Xperia play successor? Nozomi, Arc S successor we "hoped" to see on early 2011? if Aoba is Play successor then i think it's about time we see this thing packing multicore CPU as Android ICS will really use the potential, although i i doubt the graphics can be as amazing as what we see now with PSVita. that thing has a HW that only samsung can beat. Adreno is always weaker than powerVR and Samsung was in charge of the SoC used in vita.

Is that already have reliable confirmation release?

I'm now recognized Samsung as a leader in microprocessor industry, but I do not flavor the way they do a business thing "ruthless". it probably Samsung will launch they own handheld game device to compete in market with Sony. Apple already learned this before, Sony should look it as example. Sadly, maybe they not realized this!

Back to Sony buy out rumour, if it correct and Sony going to make they own mobile division.
I wonder what company will responsible for their radio / communicator parts if not Ericsson the industry leading?
Qualcomm / Nvidia / TI you name it? ...... still far behind Ericsson know how in this kind of techonology
Even Samsung is using Ericsson Modem in their Galaxy 4G / Galaxy S2 except LTE version which still unknown information.

They just pull up more muscle into business do it work!!

They can still use Ericsson parts, I don't see how that could be a problem.
I am just extremely elated with the news!!! Finally no more waiting for the *big thing* from Sony Ericsson forever.
And I respect the fact that many of the members here are Ericsson fanboys and they certainly have reasons to be dissapointed. If it was Ericsson buying out SE then I would have been extremely dissapointed as a Sony fanboy. So I am not going to start an E vs S argument here and I respect the views of the other members.

That said, for me its a great news and I can hardly wait for the first SONY Android Superphone.
I guess now things are clear as to why Sony licensed more PowerVR SGX Series5XT chips from Imagination Technologies. They are going to plonk it into their OWN Smartphones and tablets
And most likely they will use similar Cortex A9 quad core CPU setup from the Vita as well. And it will also mean better software as the Tablet S is mostly vanilla Android with some useful touches and no ugly skinning like Samsung and others.
Bring it on Sony!!!

I doubt that.
And on topic what is the point of discussing future handsets now as most likely they won't make it to market ever.
I guess the deal could be completed by the end of this year, so I guess no Nozomi and Aoba.

Posted by nikos_se
Dont worry Nozomi and most of the 2012 portfolio is gonna make it to the market,with little to no change.If Sony buys ,the wont have time to fool around and start designing their own smartphones immediately,so they're gonna use products in the beginning,just like HP did when they bought palm,like Google will do with Motorola,etc etc...

I know but knowing Sony, I somehow doubt that they will just rebrand nozomi as SONY and sell them. Maybe Sony has already started developing a superphone for 2012. And maybe for 2012 they will only have one or maybe two iphone like high end devices and from 2013 start expanding their portfolio.

Yes, they are of course competitors, but remember Eric Schmidt sat on Apple's board. Google has gone out officially to confirm it's due to Steve Job's death. His funeral is this Friday, so I think it makes sense. This will take too much news bandwidth too. The new date is Oct 27.
