utouh, 31 Jan 2012what a selfish move by Sony, if Ericsson will start making ... moreOk... the inside story..
It is not a selfish move by Sony...
actually it is Ericsson who has forced Sony to buy out the shares..it was going on for last 1.5 years. It is because, in every year, Ericsson's profit from Network Infrastructure was undermined by the losses from SE(Ericsson needed to handle 50% of the losses from the JV).
So Ericsson did a smart thing to throw away the shares and Sony had to buy them.
Ericsson already have the best mobile chip maker(ST-Ericsson) which is used by Nokia, Moto etc..
Now I hope Ericsson release their own handset(fingers crossed)... still hoping for the next spiritual successor to R380 which I owned...maybe running Android or any other capable OS.

what a selfish move by Sony, if Ericsson will start making a phone, thats good, i owned SE and i love it, some people says that SonyEricsson phone, they just call it '' ahh thats Ericsson'' you can feel it the popularity of Ericsson not Sony,
Sony is nothing when it comes im Mobile phone they Steals others innovation..

Haven't you heard that Google just bought Motorola? And why would Sony pay good money to get out of a bad partnership with Ericsson to get into another partnership? Sony paid EUR1 Bill to have a say in the business. Partnering with any company now would be back to square one (minus EUR 1 billion), wouldn't it?

i think ericsson will have the chance to come out BIG just like sony cause the design plans and all those things have been designed by both companies...my question is though the remaining SE units that still exist under which name will those sell now???those will still keep being produced i believe but which company will sell them and under which name or those will continue the SE logo until they are discounted and both companies are going to get their shares
