those figures are a bit out buddy.... Nokia Market share is around 35%, not 80% And their next biggest rival Motorola's marketshare has slumped (probably becuase it's being grabbed by SE).

Sony Ericsson have increased their global sales by 60% over the last year.

"Fourth-placed Sony Ericsson's overall 2006 market share was 7.3 per cent. Samsung took 11.6 per cent, Motorola 21.3 per cent and Nokia 34.1 per cent. " http://www.reghardware.co.uk/2007/01/25/world_phone_ship_in_06/

SE became big because many lost ericsson fans and user found their way back home.

after the W800i i haven't seen any SE model that had abit of a soul, something old ericsson phones had.
i hope the T650i can bring that feeling back
With Ericsson and Nokia gone: we must keep their spirits alive and buy JOLLA or YOTA

T650 has soul. I agree with you partly, though W810, W880, S500, K810 and P1 have "soul" (style) in my view.

They're still almost non-existent in the US Cingular only carries the "new" (sic) W300 and W810. T-Mobile USA only carries the GSM network card for laptops

(Good thing there are quite a few quad-band + EDGE devices from and they're available SIM-free via importers.)

Motorola's and Samsung's rule this personal-use market, while businessmen/women all carry RIM Blackberry's. Hardly anyone has Nokia's any more, though they were everywhere in the TDMA days of 10 years ago.

yes true, but the signs were there with the T610, and the K700 just showed how far SE had come in technology. The T610 and then K700 opened up many people's eyes who had never considered SE before (aka, NOT the "fanboys" but the exact opposite). Then it EXPLODED with the K750 and very quickly followed with the W800 which captured the attention of music lovers who hadn't quite got their head around a phone as a music device (personally I've been using my phone for music since the K700)

But the K750/W800 double whammy is what's responsible for the surge in marketshare.



Right again you are!
I too bought the K700 - LOVED that phone, for the wife though. Best $650 I've ever bought - brand new 4 weeks after release.
I then got the K750 but almost 1 year old. Doing the same with K790i in less than 2 weeks. I still need a good smartphone with WiFi.

when i bought t200 everybody were thinking am using sony... they were totally unware of sony ericsson

later i got t68i.. and at the that time all others were using black and white screen while i was using colour phone.. and plus t68i had bluetooth i just loved that phone

then i got t610i and my friends were like totally zapped they just loved the phone

then came k700i and by that time nokia had come out with extension of memory cards which made again sony ericsson out of the market not really but..it was going slow

then i did a big jump to p series and boy... everybody loved it ...we all loved it.. yes am talking abt p910i.. and p910i beat nokia's communicator market in india ...it become huge , u go to any big exhibition all the business ppl started using p910i

my p910i got old and resale value was gettin lower too so i sold it and switched to w800i walkman phone again it impressed everybody because of its walkman features and hats off to the headphones and the sound clarity and loudness through the speakers of the w800i

came back to p series again p990i again.. i was pretty impressed with uiq 3.0 cause i thought it fulfilled all my small needs which uiq 2.0 didnt but again it failed to impress others because of its bad firmware and now its too late that people can realise that this phone is a GEM... lost my phone due to my stupidity jumping inside the pool and later i realised i was carryin the phone too...(i was drunk guys..) i really miss p990i

2 days back got m600i but i have to say m600i has a better uiq 3.0 interface than p990i anyday...very nice phone tho i have to update the firmware... again back to topic it has really impressed others in india at least ... reason... lack of wifi and camera

T200 -> T68i -> T610 -> K700i -> P910i -> W800i -> P990i -> M600i -> P1-> Nokia E71 -> X1i -> X10 -> Arc S -> Sony Z1 -> Sony Z Ultra -> Sony Z3+ -> iPhone 6 -> iPhone 7 Plus -> iPhone X -> iPhone XS Max

Yeah I remember getting the T610 and converting a "die hard Nokia" friend of mine to SE. He bought a T610 and it broke down (joystick) and he took his father's T610. The next phone he bought was the K750, that also died because of the joystick. Now he carries a.... K800.

When I witnessed that process (and I didn't push him to get SE) I new SE had the potential to become the next Nokia. Seeing how Nokia used to produce extremely flawed phones (8210) and had a following that bought an equally flawed follow up model (8310).

Well you know what they say:"You become what you hate (or in our case dislike )".

@bart- I know exactly what you mean. I'm one of those Ericsson fans who had lost his home. Still miss Ericsson. Anyway, after my Ericsson r320 I bought the t610- what a phone! Followed it up with the k750i them p910i. I still use the above phones together with my 3 Ericsson phones.
I do think however, that the p1 has soul.

SE is still at #4. Nokia, Moto and Samsung are bigger companies

But I'm quite sure SE will become top 3 by 2008/2009

In my country Nokia is #1 and SE #2,but in this 4 years SE was growth so fast, the big booming phone (by sold quantity) was k300, k500, k700, p910, k750, w800, w550, w810, m600 and some lowend non camera SE phone.

For the comparison of SE n NOKIA user in my country from what my eyes can see :
2003 : NOKIA 80, SE 3, the rest other
2007 (now) : NOKIA 50, SE 25, other 25.
MOTO doing well too, i can give him 18,so do with LG,doing quiet well. NOKIA's really lost much their market share this 2 years
