You are the answer to every prayer I've offered.

You are a song, a dream, a whisper, and I don't know how I could have lived without you for as long as I have.

i have an xperia :)

Just shows doesn't it 3rd place..... with a meagre 5.2%

Samsung utterly dominate smartphones right now.


But still a lot better than those Windows smartphones isn't it. Give it a couple years and Sony will rival Samsung. They already got the better phone in the Xperia T and V.


Don't confuse handset manufacturer marketshare with OS marketshare.

i didn't realise this thread was purely to give you the opportunity to have a dig at MS.  MS don't make phones. 

I expect Nokia to take 3rd spot in the next year or so in smartphones and cement their current second spot as worlds second largest mobile phone maker (Nokia has 23% market share (Sony 2%)).

Interesting to see Sony quoted as saying they are "watching closely" the windows 8 situation with a view to launching windows 8 phones along side their new windows 8 tablets and windows 8 vaio's.   


What you did not say is that the number of phones Nokia shipped are not all smartphones, a huge percent of them are cheap for-3rd-world-countries Sub $100 set. 

Nokia lost its ground the day they entered into agreement with Microsoft. Almost no one cares about Windows operating system on the phones, the 2 percent OS marketshare says that. I don't see Nokia grows from now on unless they abandon Windows OS.

why am i not surprised to read from people here that they own an xperia? ;)
i don't think their smartphones are bad but i don't see where they really differ to other ones.

This is an w810i Sony Ericsson. I've owned this phone since 2006. I've dropped it who knows how may times. The screen is all scratch up. I refuse to let it go. It does everything I need and yes I don't text, or surf the web, though it can do that (I disconnected the internet from it.)

Believe it or not, I have been complimented on the way the phone looks. People think its a camera. I'm not a loyal Ericsson customer, but I'll keep it until it finally dies on me.
