Who would you move to and why?.
I personally think i would go back to Ericsson, as their heritage lies in phones. Dont get me Wrong i like the Sony design but it would not make me buy their phones.
Do you think this could ever happen?

Personally I wish they could split! Snoy is a disappointment, they've destroyed what Ericsson stood for- technological innovation and quality. I've always been an Ericsson man and would definitely go with them should there be a split! Oh, well that's a dream that is unlikely to be realised. |

Initially after the merger they were. Now all you see are Sony brand names at the expense of innovation.
Don't get me wrong, if branding means more sales I'm for it but don't ignore innovation. Nokia was left for dead back then but they upped their game and actually surpasse SE.
P800i , W900i, S700i and the legendary T610i. They were truly pioneers.
Now all we get are buggy unfinished products tht wouldn't have seen the light of day if SE were Ericsson.
l almost bought the Nokia e90,what would've been a first non Ericsson/Sony Ericsson in 9 years, but the size put me off.
I actually think that the reason why SE were technologically advanced back then was because Ericsson was more involved than now. The only reason I'm with SE is because of Ericsson but even that has begun to wear off. I use 2 phones/lines, one of my phones is a smartphone and right now I need to give my P910i a rest but nothing from SE impresses me. I am getting the T650 cause it s very nice and also reminds of my T610 which I still have and use occassionally.
I hope the P3 changes my mind or I'm off to- it's actually painful to type it-Nokia.
It's not what you do or even how you do it but in what state of mind you do it: Dups! 2009 |

Hi all
Firstly i agree with all of what EMS06 says and like others this is one of my few fantasy dreams and virtually nothing would make me happier. How i wish Ericsson would dump Sony and i really couldn't care if it meant Ericsson dropped to number 5 in the manufacturer league as it wouldn't be for long as Ericsson quality and innovation would soon shine through. If only this could happen i would be seriously happy and i know for a fact this is a view held by many Ericsson fans of the past also.

Buying your competitors is a good technique to use... if only SE exercised this on Nokia |

We all know erricson and sony reputation world wide. They both innovator technology in their respective field. I think merger of this two company is good decision, as now we can see and use the technology innovation they have achieved.
Let's say that if errison stands alone, could they make good cam-phone like K750/k810 ? I don't think so....
But to see their product nowadays, not much technology improvement, just design variation. I hope they make better improvement in the future.
Cheers..!

I really don't think that would be any better either i really would won't to see a truly independent Ericsson and them not to merge with anyone. We all know they have the technology and am sure they will of moved on and be able to hire more modern designers which was there only weakness in the past IMO and what held them back. But personally i would take quality, performance and innovation over design any day, but then that's just me and my preference.

We are talking here from the consumer point of view. Sony and Ericsson and now SonyEricsson answer not to the consumer but the Stock Holder. And they wouldn't be happy right now if they split

the day SE would split and Ericsson would start making phones again the way they always did would be the best day of my life so far.
we need innovation and no brand is giving us that! Ericsson had working prototypes that where far more advanced then today's phones, and that was more then 5years ago.
SE has become sony and they are losing the old fans.
Brands like Neonode and Apple are doing what Ericsson did, taking a step ahead.
With Ericsson and Nokia gone: we must keep their spirits alive and buy JOLLA or YOTA |

If they split I don't know which i'd go for but it prob be Sony as Ericsson were bloomin bleepy things 
Nokia should team up with Samsung they both make good phones and Samsung have the style by far
