Mr. K didn't even get the chance to prove himself. I thought it'd be good to have a Japanese dude at the helm , what with their work ethics and everything. Not so sure if this is a good move, but I think I should brace myself to revert back to Ericsson
wasn't it his own decision to step down?

Well, the switch maybe coz Ericsson is the only company in the Jv which is making profits.

My suspicion exactly.

Wow! What a surprise?
So, Dick realized he was fighting a losing battle and called it quits.
This is another sign of the end of SE.
I, for one, would love to see Ericsson back but that's just a dream. Their rigidity cost them a good thing.
I don't see the new man helping this once brilliant company. I've already written SE off!

I kind of saw the end days of SE from all the profit loss reports and the fact that the X1 was such a great idea that just didn't get the support it needed from SE to succeed. A lot of the original specs disappeared with each revision of the white paper. This means they just didn't have the resources to deliver on their original design--so we got a scaled down X1.

I used to love
as well. that was around 2000 with their trademark glowing blue lights above the earpiece and their cool antenna. but if they broke up i might end up choosing Sony.

If they broke up, you'd be choosing between Nokia, HTC and Apple quite frankly because Ericsson and Sony would be ill-advised to throw good money after bad if they can't make the JV work.
I think the X1 suffered from being a WM phone and an expensive one at that. WM is the fourth most popular smartphone platform after Symbian, BB and Apple. WM is undergoing a slow painful death and Symbian is on the wane too largely because most S60 owners don't know that their phone has an OS in it. Maybe the Satio will change that, here's hoping...
SE need to find a whole new niche to sell to or create a new one fast. They should be taking a leaf out of General Motors book ATM about flattening their corporate structure, providing decisionmaking authority closer to where the customers are, and simplifying large product decisions down to a day. I've been following GM for months now on their iPhone App and I am impressed with the change of attitude they've taken on. I'd like to see SE follow their attitude (not their finances).

SonyEricsson were great but now they are just average.
Below average, I would say.
Any change in SE management is better than the long lasting agony.
It is a shame that now Samsung is on the throne of the mobile handsets innovation king.
Three years ago anyone would say that is SE place.....
Sad....
