Is Sony Ericsson doomed? |

I just went to M-R and Eldar has everything but good to say about the leaks and future releases in the  portfolio. His word (I would hope) is not gospel, but he does bring to light many of the ills in that we are as "brand loyalists" too blind to see at times.
This too on the heels of being pushed to 5th place by LG, phone cancellations and very horrible Q2 results. I can't help but almost feel a crack in the armour I have built up over the years in defense of Sony Ericsson. Only just a little bit.
Has learned from 2007? What is going on here? Is there any glimmer of hope left? Will SE suffer a Motorola fate?
Guys really what do you think? Cause I don't know what to. What is going on with our brand in 2008?

Nah, SE isn't doomed. They're just having a... rainy day? Week? Year. Make that 2.

Hmm and so much talk of the quiet before the storm. But it seems this storm turned into a Hurricane that is raining on 's parade. As all I see so far is flooding.
I am tired of Nokia being the innovators now and giving people what they really want. must stop skimping and deliver more. Exceed expectations, don't just meet them. That doesn't work anymore.
People complain a lot of recycling these days, and dare I say, copying. Yet, with all the copying they claim, is not copying the right things.
Man it's tight right now so it's just up in the air.

I agree. More and more people who I know that would stay with handsets are now starting to look at others (myself included) as they now seem to be rehashed over and over (similar to the old Nokia's) in different casing's for a period of 12 months and then release 3-5 new models with so so updates.
There seems to be compatibility problems with handsets and accessories which is causing problems as well (particularly the A200 platform). Build quality is starting to get worse with noisy housings and paintwork/finish coming off easily.

I will never buy a non-SE phone because they just look beautiful and the interface is brilliant.
I don't think SE is doomed just yet but if they don't release another K700/W800 (I've had both and they were amazing) then they will be.

They are doomed indeed. My highlights of thier doomness is w880, walkman with no fm? And w890 camera with no flash and auto focus.
I currently have t650 i thinks thats a good phone.
If it wasn't for this phone i was definately going for different brand.

are doomed as they dont make a phone with everything that I want! I want 8mp camera with af and xenon flash, vga screen, 80gb hard drive, gps, tv tuner, satellite dish and tea maker in a phone smaller than a W880i.
Not too much to expect is it?!

SE is going down in my opinion. The local dealer himself admits that the sale is going down and less and less people now ask for SE phones.
I am too thinking of buying Nokia E71, just waiting for prices to fall a bit which in Nokia case happens within the 1st month of launching new phone |

if seem so,with their so called cybershot phone which do not fit the bill.SE dragging Sony image to the ground.How a non consumer electronics linked company like Nokia can release better camera phones with Carl-Zeiss lens,16Mill colour screens,all in one smartphone and so on completely amazes me.Even LG has an impressive 5MP camera phone with 120FS video recording.What's going on? |

Worse of all, what will happen to Esato when SE's flame totally burns out?
