Sony to buy off Ericsson's shares in their joint mobile business

06 October, 2011
If that's true, there's an intriguing future ahead for Sony Ericsson, or should we say just... Sony now?

AnonD-1796, 07 Oct 2011Someone mentioned this would happen in the comments section... moreYes, I remember that person! He/she sounded like a troll at the time and I didn't believe him/her. Now, it seems like he knew something we didn't.

    good. i've beek aquianted to both brands since...2000 and smth. ...and to sony-ericsson after that ...if Sony takes over than they will produce better devices. I trust that it will make the same difference as it did before the venture (sony-wise improvement)

            SonyEricsson phones have more SONY flavour and less ERICSSON. If SONY alone can made phones with cutting edge technology and can provide better service what is wrong in it? All SONY products are well known for its quality. It is the time for SONY to compete with other brands like HTC, SAMSUNG, Apple etc. It is the time of sony. make.believe

                Someone mentioned this would happen in the comments section of a previous Sony Ericsson article, though I can't find which one it was. They also mentioned a future Sony Xperia phone with a bunch of rather advanced specs. Does anyone remember?

                  i think sonny will buy most of the shares but erricson will still keep its legacy and name its kindah be 80-20 which will give more power for sony to handle the company. I think they are solving probles of miscommunication that causes slow production in market and other issues. It would be more in the positive side this time but i still hope that they still keep their style and improve in a positive way :)Goodluck

                    Sony must do it...But must also think about the users. If they are planing to buy shares they must reduce the prices of the phones and give more features...

                                I love the P990 and even my T616. Sony had better do something if it wants to stay in the game. They can keep the gaming and music phones. Give me specs & apps.

                                  This means that we will see Japanese Sony Ericssons. We will see some interesting phones in the near future.

                                    I think, this would be the end of the great work of this joint venture. I don't belief that sony could manage it on its own.
                                    ...so I hope these rumors aren't true.
