Phones? Tiny market share.

Financial numbers? not terrible, not great.

Gaming? So so

Expect some negative reaction to Japanese tech stock when the markets open. Sharp have pretty much just admitted they are close to death.

Not true. They shipped 8.8m smartphones this quarter, that puts them third behind only Samsung and Apple. That is absolutely impressive imo, they are ahead of Nokia, RIM, HTC and ZTE.

Q2 results:

Samsung: 56.3m

Apple: 26.9m

Sony: 8.8M

RIM (Blackberry): 7.7m

Nokia: 6.3

Sony Mobile are doing a great job with their smartphones since the acquisition of Ericsson, check their latest Xperia line, you'd be surprised. They have yet to make their smartphone business profitable though, there is a great potential here no doubt.

Wow, I wasn't aware they were ahead of Nokia :O. Samsung dominate this as everything else though

Keep in mind we are talking about smartphones only, Nokia sells tons of non-smart phones every quarter.
