"Carl Icahn spridit ryktet om ett bud på Motorola från Ericsson"
"budet från Ericsson vara på 23 dollar per aktie."
Translated:

That's fine as long as they kill Motorola and just roll their products' traits right into the SE lineup. Just not the skimpy features.

Maybe they're talking about Motorola's network division. Would make more sense to me.

Yea probably the network devision. the total package would be crazy, ericsson doesn't have that much money to spair, and the american goverment won't allow it.
motorola's marketshare in cellphones won't be counted up with SE, because SE is not ericsson (sadly).
ericsson mobile platforms on motorola cellphones would be possible, increasing the ericssons marketshare of mobilephones with their platform on the market.
With Ericsson and Nokia gone: we must keep their spirits alive and buy JOLLA or YOTA |

I think the american government would allow it. I mean after the sale of Quantas, motorola (which isnt even an "iconic company") would be allowed im sure.

it would be a great combination though. sony's marketing strength, ericsson's usability, motorola's build quality and design. nokia wouldn't stand a chance  |

I doubt the mobile divisions would be effected if that was true.
It would seem plausible for the network divisions to come together afterall. Nokia and Siemens have jumped in bed together.

Note that it's Ericsson, not Sony Ericsson.

Yeah, technically SonyEricsson is a completely different legal entity of a company. its just a 50/50 ownership between sony and ericsson
Mobile working solution:
Acer Aspire Gemstone Blue 6920G + DVB-T ExpressCard + Merlin XU870 + 3 5GB/mo Mobile Broadband
HTC TyTN II + T-Mo Flext 25 W'n'W
Nokia 5300 + T-Mo Everyone PAYG |
