        I used to have a Sony CMD-J5 excellent phone in its time, before Sony merged with Ericsson. Used it for a long time. :-)

          I had more then 60 cell phones. Most of them were Sony Ericsson, and honestly, I am not too happy with this situation. Pretty big segment would be banished when we talk about standard gsm devices with keyboard, buttons, etc. Main reason I am using SE is good software, endurance, quality and battery autonomy. I can´t imagine whole market full with touch telephones. What about those people who simply don´t want to tap on gigantic screen :(. The best part of Sony Ericsson company is Ericsson engineering because, as pretty much ppl commented the fact that SONY has ridiculous market policy that most congruous people defy.

                No company can dare to leave the customers stranded only affecting their future sales.

                so rest assured

                      Gouldy, 06 Dec 2011Have you any proof, or are you just from the same symbian c... moreYEs,
                      1. I won a couple of Android Devices... Moto XT910 aka, the new RAZR and SE Xperia Neo...
                      2. I never said that the devices of Android is bad, but I must tell that the signal reception of Android is far far worse than Nokia branded devices..... I had compared them side by side.
                      3. SE had the best radio among the Android community and thanks to the ST-E chipsets.

                      Most of you have forgot that Ericsson is the largest Telecom solutions vendor in the world. Their competence in Radio is unmatched. Hence I am saying so...
                      The Android devices are great in Multimedia characteristics and UI, and symbian is no match for the fluidity of the interface. But since I am very few of those users who still purchase a phone making telephony as the number 1 priority, I am not particularly interested in the devices where the radio is bad.....
                      Sony will be going that way I think and hence will not buy another Sony phone in the future...

                        What REALLY will be the change though?

                        Yes, the branding and marketing will change. However, will the products differ at all from the smartphones that are released now as Sony Ericsson?? Apart from getting the opportunity to concentrate on smartphones.

                        I don't see the leadership, hardware/software development teams and manufacturing processes changing from what they are right now.

                            they acquired the share of Ericsson in Sony Ericsson, that means they simply bought out the significant influence of Ericsson with in S/E. with that being said, the same team, dev, management, perhaps CEOS board of directors and other members of the Ericsson team will still be in "Sony" (Sony Ericsson)

                                    All you lobely people out there - perhaps you dont know the DISASTER sony faced when it came with mobile phones X and J series (J-5, J-7, and so on when it was only SONY).

                                    Sony started selling only when it joined with ERICSSON

                                    Somy might be good in electronics but in Mobile phones- SONY SUCKS

                                      Sony Ericsson's after sales service was pathetic in INDIA. Hope SONY will try to match their after sales service with other leading brands in INDIA.

                                      I wish SONY enters the market with a top quality customer service system otherwise it will be same as SONY ERICSSON.
