    good thing Sony wont be with Ericsson anymore, at least with mobile phones.. but look at this:

    Motorola had Android
    Nokia had WP/Symbian
    Apple had iOS
    RIM had their own Blackberry OS
    Samsung had Bada (perhaps)

    what OS will Sony have to use? Unless it's Meego/Tizen, they are dead.. they might stick with android, mix it with outdated hardware, have a higher price tag, and poof, a bankrupt mobile manufacturer

    ang speaking of android, can HTC and LG cope up with Motorola who is committed with google? they are doomed too!

      And what will happen to the original (2011 Xperia series) devices? They will keep the Sony Ericsson name on the top of it? The new ones will have just Sony in name?

        a Dual core or not ;-)

          AnonD-27963, 28 Oct 2011We know Ericsson is one of the leaders in telecommunation..... moreDon't talk to early ok? We will see what will happen. By the way I would like to see a last Xperia smart phone announced, with a Dual Core CPU, Android Ice Cream, HD screen, 8 MP camera or more.

              you people don't know about a thing about Ericsson... If you know "mobile and telecom technology" deeply then don't talk s*#$ about Ericsson. Your telecom providers are able to provide you service because of Ericsson equipments.

                [deleted post]yep, you said, not high quality and not very reliable handset. take for example the Asian made SE and Western made SE, the built quality for example. which one is good?. think!..
                i think that this is top in the list of issues, why SE fans leave SE. simple the built quality, the scrappy paint of handset. how much more the outdated OS, the x10 mini Donut OS, it took a months waiting to have a Eclair OS, other companies skip that stupid Donut OS. The SE Experia mini issues.
                The Experia blog is gone... SE fans decline... I go for Ericsson..

                  as at this point I'm really really confuse. don't know where I will go to, I'm with the Xperia 10 now. so bad the name I'm looking at now is no more.

                        samsung>sony, 28 Oct 2011sony buy ericsson? this wont make a difference... first of ... moreWow, both mis-informed and incorrect.

                        SE you qualcomm chipsets... like virtually everyone else!

                        Bravia Engine is exactly what it says - not a screen technology, but SW to make the screen Higher Contrast, Shaper & Smoother than others. It doesn't work in the menu, just pics, vids, internet and youtube. Compare it side by side - then post everyone an apology for your illformed judgementation.

                        Thanks

                              Agree that Ericsson is Leader in Telecommunication But in Cell Phones.
                              I think the reason of separation is when Sony Launched its Tabs.......
