if i were to ask him... i would ask..
"Can you please release SE smartphones alot faster than what you are doing lately...."
reason: Im getting all cranky about the phase of P990 with regards to its release...
next...
"Can SE venture into making tablet PC..."
reason: i dunno, maybe they look good making one...
lastly...
"What car or cars do you ride on?"
reason: company cars, this one shows how good a company is...

oh yeah... sorry, forgot to write that.
I'd be interested to hear about how much actual hands-on Sony Ericsson product design he provides his own input to, or has a say about in the final products.
I'd also like to know why some of us here who put alot of time and effort into the Sony Ericsson arena don't have direct channels into Sony Ericsson to get answers to technical questions and early products so that we can report on them.
These things would improve both Esato and the satisfaction of the Sony Ericsson userbase who visit here for help

Those are good questions. 
I would proberbly ask him why dedicated users and fans of  arn't given special privilages such as input into into future products and that he should start a private members club for dedicated officianados..and that membership should have special privlages such as access and invitations to product launches and be given the opertunity to buy the products before general release.
Just some of the things i can think of right now!

Another thing i would say to him would be that should officially recognise esato and place it as a resource on their website and phone manuals.

that was pretty much what I was getting at earlier
other, non-SE specific sites seem to get early info and products, but we don't!

making esato related to sony ericsson officially just won't happen.
but yes,i have seen that,in another se specific forum(not naming) gets the latest news on new releases,rumours and leaks faster than esato.i went through their threads and found that some officials often report facts about soon to be released phones to them and from there news reaches esato. |
