      Only Motorola, Nokia and iPhone can break the record of single design sales. Motorola V3 Razr can sold more than 100 million units. How about Sony Ericsson?

        What a shame Sony Ericsson. Sony Ericsson Design Team doesn't have any idea and the fact is Sony Ericsson XPeria X1 created by HTC. Sony Ericsson T303 similiar / same like Samsung. Sony Ericsson G700, G700 Business Edition, and Sony Ericsson G900 similiar / same like Nokia. Sony Ericsson W350 back to 90's design. I hear and i read many complain opinion about Sony Ericsson S500 has problem the keypad easy to break. Hahaha... Is that Sony Ericsson Fanboy says the greatest quality? Hahaha...

Well, try a SE handset and talk to the other party in the busy streets of Mongkok in Hong Kong (or Wall Street in NY if you like) and see if the other party can hear you as clearly as a Moto phone...espeically those with Crystal Talk!

                    I think the hook on the front face of the phone that will sit on the top of the back of the slider looks terrible. Too late to get rid of it I guess. I guess there is only so much you can do with these compact slider phones in terms of looks. But the day a company does think up of something revolutionary it will sell like hotcakes. Maybe a quad slide! I should patent that.

                          Right there in black & white. SE is number 4 in terms of sales, behind Moto. This chart only goes to 2007's total units shipped results, but now you can take comfort in the fact that even LG has now surpassed SE in sales so far in 2008..LOL

                          It is time to come back to Earth....I know, I know...it's is great being delusional, but the drawback is no one takes you seriously.

                            I just read the article from Reuter that you post the link.
                            It says: "...make no profit in the second quarter due to weaker demand for its more expensive phones. Sony Ericsson is feeling the effects of a dependence on mature markets which are being impacted by the global economic downturn."

                            So, please do not mislead other people and make stuff up with your own 'analysis' that Sony Ericsson has 'uninspiring designs'
                            They have better designs and breakthrough inventions than Motorola.
                            Peace.

                              What year is the magazine/article that you are reading from?
                              Back in 2006 perhaps, but I'm pretty sure it's not the case in this 2008.

                                  Sony Ericsson the greatest? Hahaha... Why still rank 5? Motorola rank 3. You can says Sony Ericsson the greatest if Sony Ericsson has ar least rank 3 or rank 1.

                                  And now Sony Ericsson is in danger. Look yourself Sony Ericsson Fans; no need to arogan.

                                  Sony Ericsson warns on profit as demand slows ( http://www.reuters.com/article/hotStocksNews/idUSL278989620080627 ).


                                  Will Sony Ericsson be the next Motorola?

                                  Interestingly, there's another company out there who are also in danger of going down the same route: Sony Ericsson. Their profits have fallen by 47% in the first few months of 2008, caused largely by a range of phones last year that were simply uninspiring.

                                  After a raft of successes with their Walkman and CyberShot phones, the company simply released yet more versions of the same thing. It became boring to write about, and reading the forums it became evident that other mobile phone users (and even people passionate about Sony Ericsson) felt the same way. Sony Ericsson, too, it seemed, were guilty of resting on their laurels while Nokia, Samsung and LG upped their game.

                                  Fortunately for the company, the new phones that are set to hit the stores this year look to be completely different from the duds of last year. The new C905 8 megapixel camera phone is causing quite a stir, while the Xperia X1 smartphone is almost as eagerly anticipated as the iPhone. As long as they get their marketing and pricing right, they should have a set of winners on their hands, which should help them avoid the predicament that Motorola finds itself in.

                                  So there's a lesson here for the large corporations of the world. Engage with the bloggers who write about your products. Read their blogs, learn from what people are saying, and use the blogosphere as a sounding board for how people are reacting to your latest products.

                                  If enough people say your product's crap, it probably is! Really, it can't be that difficult to figure out, surely?!

                                    Why Sony Ericsson always copy from Motorola. Motorola make slim candybar phone and Sony Ericsson copied. Motorola make rotate phone and Sony Ericsson copied. Motorola make flip slim phone and Sony Ericsson copied. Much more Sony Ericsson copied from Motorola. So the fact is Sony Ericsson copied from Motorola. Motorola W Series and C Series is for Entry until Low End; that's mean cheap Motorola Phone.
