because they post a 300 million lost and are just branding on ericsson part. its falling behing it competition, looking like the next be motorola. motorola had 21% market share but started doing tons of razr over and over, nokia samsung lg crushed them. now they are less than 10% and have similar millionary looses. sony ericsson have lost it camera phone quality crown to nokia > samsung > LG. and music phones too nokia, samsung and lg have better sound quality now. they are living off sony branding their phones are decent but the competition is better. market reacted they are not loosing market share yet though. also they owned UIQ, nokia announced s60 would have touch screen support. UIQ is now disbanning. |
I don't have time to go over every point as I have to go out to dinner, but I will say this
Sony Ericsson have only recently been losing money and, in the scheme of things, compared to the losses incurred by the other Sony divisions are relatively minor and they have already taken action to cut almost 1/2 billion in costs.
I believe they have diluted their product pool with far too many models, but they have mentioned in their report that their Walkman & Cybershot branded phones are strong. There is no chance in hell I would buy an LG or Samsung over a Sony Ericsson, anyone who does is a fool, their user interfaces are terrible.
If the focus their product range it will reduce R&D, leverage off the popularity of the Walkman & Cybershot phones, plus there is high demand for their PDAs like the X1 and they should be fine. They are pretty much the least of Sony's worries as a division.
Never argue with idiots
They bring you down to their level and then beat you with experience
