After the relese of the k300i, j300, j100 i think sony ericsson should only make top end phones as they are normally better and have the best features. I think the lower end ones are just lame and look crap. |

I think just with the case of other mobile fone companies . . . these are part and parcel of their marketing plan or . . . strategies. They should also put some low-end fones in their assembly line, we must not forget that NOT all people can buy HI-END model fones due to financial constraints. Say (1) P990 sold is already about (5) K300i's taken. Even Nokia despite it's no. 1 stand in the market at present still produces not-so-expensive models . . .

Aren't people that want a simple phone not entitled to buy something with attractive looks and decent design?
And beside that, you won't believe it maybe, but most "simple" models turn out to be way too complicated for a lot of people. So it is good that designers that know how a UI should look have taken care of that.
I hope SE sells massive loads of them. The streets will look better. |

I still find 'low-end' fones easy to use than with the expensive ones - PDAs etc.

Sony Ericsson T100 is a really nice low end phone. |

i understand that people may want low budget phones but i think they ruin the SE portfolio.

During the timeof Ericsson, we can say that they are already making low-end fones: T10s/T20s . . . compared to their R-series, which I can say are the hi-ends, specially when they made the Satellite Phone (R-series) which really cost a fortune during it's initial release . . .

low end phones are needed. young people age 12-14 mostly get a entrylevel phone. if its an SE one and they like it they will stay loyal to SE. its another brand they will stay loyal to that brand.
remember that youngsters are blinded by media and commercials.

Yeah . . . and we can just see very limited celfone companies who are making high-end fones . . . I guess XDA/Imate (not sure of the exact name of these though) are one of those . . .

HTC don't need to make low-end kit, as they specialise on building smartphones for lots of different networks/customers. How many brand names are there for, essentially, the same kit? Loads - but they can offer a massive amount of customisation - probably far beyond what Nokia, Sony Ericsson, Motorola and the like can.
They really don't make 'ordinary' phones, let alone entry level models. I'm sure if they did, they would really cause grief to everyone else. They already have excellent relationships with all the networks, so it would be quite easy for them to dominate other market segments.
But, they don't seem to want to - for now.

i agree jagger2k.if se didn't compromise on quality with low-mid end phones though, i'd probably disagree.

there is no comppromise on quality on the low end handsets. They are excellent quality. They are short on features yes, but that's the whole point of a low end phone - they have less features in order to offer them at low end prices. Low feature set DOES NOT equal low quality.
The lowend phones are excellent value for money and allow SE to compete with Nokia more effectively.
Sheesh, everyone used to blame SE for NOT releasing a wide variety of handsets including the low end, now they are doing so and peeps want to complain about that too.
