This is a global trend for all niche handset manufacturers and I am sure that all of them are feeling the pinch at this point of time. I am sure that luxury devices will come into the picture again when the economy picks up.

      B&O used to made phones together with ericsson (as far as i remember, they had phones that look very similar to ericsson's GH-series).
      when ericsson went down, B&O was trying their luck by making their own phone (with little help from Samsung)), and now they finally realized that that won't do them no good.
      nice try B&O!

          Seems like samsung and B&O cannot compete 8800 Series and Vertu Series. Sorry guys... When you will truly understand the Nokia state-of-art machinery, maybe, you will be able to challenge Nokia

                good move. i look around on the street,in da club,everywhere,people only have 90%:nokia and samsung and very very few:sony ericsson and lg.all other brands are doomed. i ask myself where brands like sharp,benq,siemens,nec,philips,alcatel,sagem are selling their products???

                      i think they should put the blame on themselves for coming up with a usless phone that lacks so many features for the business people who are the ones who can usually afford them.
