Ericsson handset production was at huge loss (with production cost being twice the selling price). At 2001 Ericsson's situation was so bleak they couldn't bear this loss anymore so they de-facto handed over production to Sony (who in turn started to restructure it). This info should be added into article, it is too rosy now. Pavel Vozenilek 22:02, 20 Dec 2004 (UTC)

any sources for that? --Juxi 11:44, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
I've edited the article accordingly (and I've got a source). Been meaning to do it for weeks. Mark83 17:21, 24 July 2006 (UTC)it has no interenet

[edit] History Section

The flow of the History section could be improved. It starts off with a description of Ericsson's supply problems with Philips and then abruptly jumps to Sony Ericsson's acquisition of UIQ Technology. I'm assuming that between those two defining moments, Sony and Ericsson created the joint venture but it's not mentioned (and the only reason I'm assuming this is because I read the Introduction). How about filling in the details for a more smooth and complete History section?

[edit] Sony Ericsson India

None of the other subsidiaries are mentioned as prominently. Why is this one???

[edit] Someone screwed the article up

Somebody, stupid enough to sign his/her name on the page, messed up with the links on the page. I corrected some of the names in text, but not all of them, because they were too messed up. If anyone knows the correct names/links, please straighten them out.

You can use History in such cases :)
Right, thanks! I'm still a beginner

[edit] formatting the article

The article has a "need reference or source" tag on it. I couldn't find anymore relevant links. But I did format the articles in the relevant sections such as Mission, Org Structure, Financial Info... Hope that helps.

  • The annual report says that the sales are correct. One source...


[edit] Financial information

There are many grammatical mistakes in the financial info section.

[edit] Ze Bobber (SWE)?

No, "Ze Bobber" is not a Swedish word (at all). Googling for the phrase only brings up pages similar to this one where it is claimed to be swedish, so the rumor has spread quickly. Why it's called Z? I have no idea.

[edit] Networks

Are all Sony Ericsson phones on the GSM Network? 72.160.246.160 15:00, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Headquarters

Sony Ericsson's headquarters is in London not Seattle. Their US HQ is in Research Triangle Park, NC, not Seattle. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.190.195.63 (talk) 04:00, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Japanese market

This artice does not describe Sony Ericsson products for Japanese market. In particular, naming system is quite different in Japan, due to the fact that market is operator-oriented and thus phone names are set by operators rather then vendors. However, such phones are still Sony Ericsson products. Netrat_msk (talk) 22:46, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

"While Sony Ericsson has been enjoying strong growth recently, Q1 2008 results have been disappointing with profits crashing significantly by 43% to €133 million, sales falling by 8% and market share dropping from 9% back to 8%, despite favourable conditions that the handset market is expected to grow by 10% in 2008 - it is now widely feared that Sony Erricson is on the verge of decline along with its struggeling rival, Motorola.[1]" <- "widely feared"? This paragraph is quite alarmist and it is strange that only the sales figures for the most recent quarter is mentioned. Also, if it is really "widely feared" that SE is dying, then I would like to see a somewhat more trustworthy source. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.136.53.26 (talk) 02:20, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
