@plankgatan:
yes you are right, but do you really think Ericsson will produce phones again?

Why not. Maybe not now, but maybe after 5, 10, 50 or 100 years  |

Sony could jack-ass about cellphones before 2002. Ericsson showed them everything..............thats for sure.
Ericsson is still one of the world leading company's in the communication market......if they want, they can do it.

I can't believe this company is over. In short, the world does not know the good taste yet!
Sony Ericsson was really good at whatever they did, besides customer service which I don't give a damn!
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 |

totally agree. Sony are nr.1 regarding design and new features.
compare Nokia, Sony , Samsung, HTC & Apple design skills.
what can i say, Samsung & HTC looks awful, just awful.
Nokia latest models looks nice (but they have been awful too (regarding design)
Apple have make 2 cellphones (3G & 3GS are the same and 4 & 4S are the same), so i really dont count them in actually.

What was your first Sony Ericsson phone? Do you still have it?
Ja. It was a T230. Still have it; still working.
Still the best for selected tasks (but not others).
Time marches on (3G support, better displays, better responsiveness, MP4 support, MicroSD cards, etc.) making it a curious antiquity these days, but still favoured for certain things, not the least of which is the better physical size, semi-transparent sides (!!) which let the backlight through, rock-solid physical construction (despite plastic creaks and tacky silver paint it's built like a tank), large clock display in a great thick font which is always showing by default in standby (unlike the Sony Ericsson Cedar which needs a press to show the clock), superior Timer ring length (compared to the non-repeat of the countdown timer tones in the Cedar) and other things I like in it compared to other modern phones I've tried.

No they cannot; Sony bought all their share of the joint venture.
It's Sony that will be doing this.
Unless I'm missing something, Ericsson have said their last goodbye to the consumer side of things. |

T68W, T630, Z600, P900, K750i, P1i. Only got the P1i left.
The end of a great area  
I am looking forward to what Sony will pump out.

I remember the T300 and the communicam, the shiny T610 and t630 phones, then the superb S700i and of course those unforgettable P800/900/910/990 models, history now, but living history

I dont see why they cannot. Anybody can make anything surely ? theres no law against it. I dont think it'll happen anytime soon though, not with the market how it is these days. Back in the days of simple Ericsson phones prior to jumping into business with Sony, the market wasnt as cut-throat. Now with Apple, Samsung, HTC and Nokia all massive names in the business i dont think anyone will remember Ericsson or consider them to even investing in a purchase.
Unless they were to go after one segment of the market such as business users, a little like RIM of yesteryear.
