HTC Wants to Merge With Sony Ericsson?
16 February 2007 by axxxr File this under "rumor" but It seems like Peter Chou, CEO of HTC, has made some grumblings about HTC being a good fit in a merger between it and Sony Ericsson. Peter Chou,CEO of HTC, said in an interview that he thinks a merger between HTC and Sony Ericsson would be a good fit. HTC is a maker of Windows Mobile smartphones that wants to merge with Sony Ericsson now that ones a very hard one to swallow. The two companies or the two engineering cultures would fit together is another story. Plus, there's Sony Eicsson's love of Symbian, which doesn't quite fit in with HTC's Windows Mobile lust. source:Peter Chou Interview gizmodo

I know why dont we tell HTC to dream on lol On 16 Feb 05:03 cezar wrote wierd thing and impossible, though if SE agrees, then they will rule smartphone and mobile phone realm! SE is being owned also by sony apart from Ericsson, and it seems that Symbian is being aquired by SE, if if the merging happens, then HTC SE will just have both smartphones and mobile phones running windows mobile and Symbian 9. any comments?
