            Unlike SAMSUNG their Androids can't even make Video calls. Only video chat which eats up a lot of data and requires that other party should also have Android. Very bad. If SAMSUNG can do it why can't they ?

              First off, Blaming the fact that your phones dont sell on the disaster is fail. Instead of looking at their phones and saying "maybe we need to release a phone thats available to the public, everyone can afford and thats a decent phone" * Staring at the Xperia line*, they go, "the disaster is why we aren't selling. SE is fail for that.

              Second thing, DUAL CORE IS NOT NECESSARY TO MAKE A GOOD PHONE, GET THIS THROUGH YOUR HEADS!!! Most people that buy phones don't even know what a processor is so what difference would seeing DUAL CORE PROCESSOR make? Its not necessary for a phone to sell, the Nexus, Galaxy (before Dual Core), Desire, iPhone Etc have shown this as fact. Dual Core does not mean 2 processors people. Most people screaming "its becuz of their fonez no have dual core" don't even know that. Nothing utilizes Dual Core so their is NO POINT for it.

                        great phones are not great for many people whichis don't know about that. I see in my country, Indonesia, SE didn't do the things they should do like more advertising, promotion or merchandizing. a very good brand, but people don't know how good it is cause local services sometime give customer a bad experience like ignoring, too long service and so on. information about new products, price, release date, trouble shooting and others are also minimal. who make a company or brand getting bigger? costumer. but, employes and services give a significant impact to make a brand looks good or bad. Sony Ericsson needs to re-traine their employes to give a good service to their costumer, especially in Indonesia, give them a well-knowledge about what they sell. the matter isn't disaster, but mainly in brand positioning, local or worldwide. we shouldn't blame nature when we failed in our target, but look why other brands can do better than us. find it, make it.

                                  There are quite a few people after the xperia pro but they have put it back to October..If its because of Earthquake then make a full statement to the press,,dont keep your customers hanging on.Lifes too short and pro versions are rare so folk go off and buy other devices..That apply to RIM too..

                                      What ever you all SE haters say SE still fights the damn dual cores with single cores. They perform better and there is no use of dual-cores until Android completely supports them and it is not going to happen very soon and till then they would release their Xperia Duo which is going to kick out almost every other dual core. And who Said Arc, Play or Ray are a disaster. They all have good sales they work well and they have the right functionality. Suppose this earth-quake and Sunami would have taken place in Korea then what Samsung or LG would have done. They would also have lost market for sure. No one can build phones without electricity or ship them in 20-30 meters water standing in the way. And remember Motorola can't buy a Giant Sony with their only one darn mobile Milestone. One mobile is not just good enough to keep the whole company alive. Sony takes time to fit their mobile with the best to give their customers the best not just fit shit and give their customers shit in the race of who releases a Dual core or 3D first like Samsung and LG. And you know what Samsung is pissing you people off with updating the Samsung Galaxy SII with 1.4ghz after selling almost 3 million handsets. They just take their old mobile a fit in new hardware and sell it a lot more expensive. So just keep getting pissed by Samsung and leave Sony to their fans. We don't come to your comments sections to leave bad comments so just leave from here and lets see what happens when Samsung has to pay $15 dollars per Android handset ever sold. And one major prove of Sony's market is their consecutive record of profit in last five quarters. And all people know that there is very less room to improve in the mid-range phones and I know how everybody loved the Walkman series it was just awesome I also owned a W810i and it was just great to have that phone Sony should continue the Walkman series in the mid-range with the same sound quality the previous walkmans had and just like another person before me said that they should have dual speakers its a great advise and it can work really well. I think Sony also should also extend their walkman range to a whole new extent by giving them in the new upcoming smartphone many people out there might like a walkman version of Arc you know what I mean it could give a new life to to the walkmans and their lovers like me. I hope Sony does this and once again conquers the mobile world.
