Who would buy SE though i wonder?
I can totaly see MS buying Nokia now more than ever, but i dont like the way they have gone about it as it has come to the expense of many employees, Microsoft will create an even worse reputation of themselves....things are going to get very interesting, im just so glad Google did this now ,that will stop most of the patent trolls.

I see Ericsson, but would Sony really be willing to give up their share of the joint venture? I would surely think more likely Sony would buy out Ericssons share of the company? Would a brand like Sony really want to be owned by say Samsung in their mobile phone sector?

I am willing to bet that Microsoft will be buying one of those guys and soon too. They have about $50 billion in cash plus they could do it in a cash and share purchase and not have to spend all cash.. Nokia is currently worth about
$19 billion. Even bought at today's price of $19 billion Microsoft would still have $30 billion to pick up a couple other companies to bolster them.
Microsoft cannot remain a PC centered company as more and more persons are using their mobile phones and tablets and therefore PC's are selling less and becoming a smaller earner for Microsoft.
The question then is when and who not if Microsoft will buy out one of these large mobile phone companies.

Yep, i can see Ericsson being bought, but not SONY, the Japanese have far too much pride.
Would be good if Google bought Ericsson's patents to.

I just thought of the saying: 'Too much power...'
That, right there, is a terrifying thought. I wouldn't want Google with so many patents.
Should Ericsson bail out I'd rather they sell to any manufacturer other than Google.
I also think Sony wouldn't want Samsung to be directly involved in their mobile phone business. Sammy is already giving Sony a thorough hiding in the lcd marker, would they want the Korean giant own half of their mobile phone business when they (Samsung) are also kicking Sony's butt in the very mobile phone arena?
Don't think so.

Thats so true Dups, and we've seen what too much power can do to a company abd industry.
Google are going to have quite a large patent portfolio with this, Motorola not only have 17500 patents under their belt, they have another 7500 pending:

@Tsepz_GP
That's a whole lot of patents those. Imagine the bargaining power they will have.
@Bonovox
I envisage a situation where the Motorola brand will continue to exist while Google's Nexus line will also co-exist alongside the Moto one.
