utouh, 27 Oct 2011F.Y.I., Ericsson's very first mobile phone was designed in... moreExelent example of Ericsson leading technology dude. :)

Ericsson is resposible also for:

- first GSM system made for Vodafone UK 1988
- first ever oparational GSM phone 1991
- worlds first 3G network and call 1999/2000
- worlds first 4G call and network 2009
- introduction of WCDMA and HSDPA
- invented Bluetooth
- holding 25% of the essential 4G patents whitch is more than triple as much as any other manifacturer, and that is normal as it was Ericsson with NTT DoCoMo that initiated LTE in 2004.
- leadership over LTE-Advanced (they already have contract to build network in China for about 2 - 3 years)
- Introduction of 84Mbps HSPA technology
- 40% of entire world mobile traffic passes through Ericsson networks, which conect over 2 000 000 000 people all over the world.

I think this is more than enough for everyone to know that Ericsson was, still is, and will be world leader in mobile technology.

    AnonD-2075, 28 Oct 2011sorry man...all of your product's parts come from china kor... morei second you dude. even if the company itself has its base elsewhere than asia doesnt mean they are not manufactured there.
    they all have factories in china and the most hilarious one is apple: made by Samsung, assembled by apple

          A very Good decision by Sony company I am dying to see sony get themslves away from ericson which is a european company & i would rather say tht the decision should have been taken palce a long time ago because Sony is a unique company in itself & it cant be mereged with other company

              The best thing that could happened to sony, at least on the maketing level, i would really consider having sony devices then SE, plus ericsson when becoming SE, had very bad phone technology
              Hope for the best to sony!

                    Ericsson was the mobile phone company not Sony. it was a multimedia Company which just gave features to Ericsson phone Models, they emerged and and now Sony is destroying Ericsson? this wont go far for Sony (Alone).

                                  its a sooony.. late OS update.. incomplete specs. scrappy built. you cant keep any longer SE phone, built quality is not good. i remember the SE s500i, the keypad built quality.

                                  Sony is a asian handset.
                                  Ericsson is a western handset.
                                  Apple is a american handset
                                  Motorola is a american handset.
                                  Blackberry is a canadian handset

                                  asian product, asian quality.. think!....

                                      It can be good if sony looks forward to the betterment of the mobile company...And they also must be concerned about the phone designs and the price..Because these days there is a big competition between mobile phones.... Sony Rokz.....Make. Believe
