"Why they're losing money, probably has a lot to do with the recession and high competition from Apple. Sony Ericsson has much less market share than it used to".
Disagree. Apple are lucky if they have 1.5% marketshare.
Apple just happens to make profit extremely far above what is expected from such a small share, a bit like RIM.
The major competitors to SonyE are LG with 9.9% marketshare and growing, samsung with 19% and growing, and obviously nokia with the giant share.
Motorola has a severly falling 6.2%
SonyE has a falling 5.4%.
Figures from last quarter last year.
