Like i said......it's a viable solution....That means,that sony wont hold back when it comes to innovation,since phones will be carrying their brand name only....And while we wont see any immediate results next year,i think that changes hardware-wise,will become apparent in 2013...Let's hope,no more plastic!!!!Time for some premium materials in high-end sector...
+Didnt anyone else noticed,that Sony Ericsson didn't make any press releases regarding their 10-year anniversary???
I mean...they make a press release regarding a game launching on xperia play,and not about their 10-year anniversary???
Wherever there is smoke,there is fire...

Does this mean the end of Ericsson on mobile phones? It's hard to imagine them launching their own mobile phone range after this.
It's only natural that if the JV broke it would end up in with Sony - it's been moving in that direction for years and may be we will, at last, see proper Sony muscle in it's mobiles instead of what they can hopefully squeeze out of the parent companies.

Interesting, this isn't though really surprising what will be really interesting is if this deal does go through will sony continue making phones under the Sony Ericsson brand? I'd guess they would because they have make a lot of brand awareness and following...or they could keep the liquid logo but use it as 'sony phones'?
like?

Or it might be just called 'Sony Mobile' but with the same logo.

This is a bit sudden or is it not?? My link to GSM Arena back 2 posts shows about the possible new Nozomi & Aoba. This is something I would love to upgrade to but I hope it's not too skinny

I would take all of this with a pinch of salt, anyways their 3rd quarter results will be out and I think maybe they will announce a new phone or maybe the break up..
But i think its bad time for sony ericsson to split up , because that will just weaken their strength for an average person and also the fans of sony ericsson(who prefer ericsson more) will also be split and confused wether they should buy sony phones or not..
Right now with lower market shares, they need things to strengthen their image , which I think they have done so with the 2011 lineup, and show that they are technologically ahead(which they are lacking as of now)..
I donot see sony tablets to be a hit even though they had good designs and usability. But asus is releasing tegra 3 based tablet soon , sony tablet S with tegra 2 coming out now will not fare well.. Thinking about this itself, doesnt give me positive vibes about Sony only phones..

Well,Sony being a household name & now having more experience in the mobile world they could do a decent job of it. Much as I love Ericsson they may not make it on their own & they were struggling when they joined up with Sony in the first place so I remember. This would be sad though.

This would turn out to be a very bad move. It does have many good points in the future but djin said, I'm not getting positives vibes from Sony
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 |

Both Sony and Ericsson mobile were struggling. The problem with Sony Ericsson at the moment is it plays second fiddle to both Sony and Ericsson.
Sony is able to compete with Samsung when it comes to consumer electronics and Samsung Mobile has been a runaway success.
Sony Ericsson is just not as nimble as Samsung Mobile, it's slow to market and simply doesn't have the full industrial muscle of Sony to take advantage of.
Imagine a Sony Ericsson having the full tech know how of Sony to feed from! The Playstation phone could have been alot different.

Wow! Yet again Sony is 'buying' Ericsson out. This is 2009 all over. I don't see this happening, some Sony fan decided to share his/her fantasy with the tech world.
If it does indeed happen then Sony would've dug its own grave in the mobile phone market.
There has been too much smoke without fire with regard to this same story for me to believe it will be different this time around.
Let's see what happens.
It's not what you do or even how you do it but in what state of mind you do it: Dups! 2009 |
