honestly... give it up!
by all accounts they have included all relevant patents in the sale so what more can they offer... surely by doing so they themselves realise they are out of the mobile phone business

Ericsson still makes platforms, they are still working behind the screens.
After then T68m their was a prototype called the RX1 its something like the smartphones we see today.  still has some aces in hidden somewhere underneath a pile of prototypes.
I promis if i should win the lottery (a few times) i'll buy and bring back the glory that ones was
With Ericsson and Nokia gone: we must keep their spirits alive and buy JOLLA or YOTA |

i don't think that any one doubts that they are able to do it
but these days its so much more then hardware
they would still need a partner for content (like amazon)
and its really hard to shine in the masses of android smartphones
i personally think that its only possible to be successful in todays market, if your goal is either to beat apple in every possible way(thats like fighting against a shark with a spoon) or to look for new markets which haven't been discovered yet

The problem is that in today's mobile phone market it seems not the hardware manufacturers but the software makers (Google, Apple, Microsoft) dictate how a phone should be. In essence, we have lost the mobile phone, in its place we now only have pocket computers which is basically just a GUI based touchscreen, where Angry Birds come first (less entertaining than an old Nintendo Game&Watch), and voice communication is merely an afterthought (try making a call using a virtual keypad that I can't blind touch or see under bright sunlight). They all look the same to me, most aren't even designed to work with a charging stand (when the battery only lasts a day), and not very exciting to be honest.
What made old phones so great was their attention to detail. I have a Crackberry Bold 9700 from work and my last smartphone was an HTC Nexus One, neither of them could give me the joy of using my R520m (namely the great voice quality, useful minute minder, Bluetooth implementation that can actually transfer an entire address book, a proximity sensor that is functionally practical, and the stylish lightning copper goes really well with my orange car  ). Everyday I use either an R520m, T39mc, or T68m, and will continue to do so until they bring down the GSM network.

So ur saying you would give up ur Smartphone
For a 10yr old phone?
I have a kitchen drawer full of rare ones
Mainley Nokias tbh if I had to go back to using them
Id rather not have a phone 
Urm 8210 by Nokia is a cute phone
But all it does is calls and text Battery wise they lasted
Well tho something smartphones developers need to solve
Still altho high capacity batts are here
Btw its never the end until proven
So stop crying about it I rec Ericsson will prevail
With something else like Siemens did

ericcson's not dead, its one of the biggest companies in telecomunications.. Their way of living in the mobile phone market is thru their patents which is licensed to sony, so in a way, they will still have their mark in future sony phones..
I will always remember my ericsson t68 and keep my  w900i(boxed of ofcourse).. they were exceptional phones..

I too will miss my T68i, T610 and the all time legendary K750. they're all dead now (battery wise) will still live, BTW their new High performance platform is promising if Sony would use it.
BTW can the administrators give us a Sony logo? it doesn't make sense if we can use and but there's no :sony:

Actually this is Sony logo... having a graphical element isn`t obligatory to call something a logo, it may well be just a word with specific font registered as trade mark. |

I wonder what it would take for Ericsson to start making phones again (and all the other things related).
As a true Ericsson fan (member of the Esato Eriteam) its my duty try this, and i hope my fellow Esato members here will join me on this almost impossible quest.
making yourself heard (in life)
