I think you overestimate how much of SonyEricsson's business is from smart phones.

Thats right. The smartphones represent only a tiny part of a small sector.

Yes but one smart phone brings revenue equivalent to 5-6 low/mid end devices.

I think that we, new and old SE supporters, must have a word from the Company!!!!
Something that elucidates what's going to be the near future...

Hi all
Sorry but so much of that interview is just the same old usual SE BS. Especially this question and answer IMO.
"Richard: So what will happen to UIQ Technology?
Ulf: We will continue to ship UIQ phones for quite some time and Motorola has publicly said it will do the same. So nothing will be stopping immediately. Over time of course we will be moving to the Symbian Foundation platform. This means that UIQ Technology will need to find a new place in the ecosystem. We are currently talking to Motorola and the management of UIQ Technology and exploring different options to find the best role UIQ Technology can play.
The Symbian Foundation will help drive convergent phones even further into the mass market. This will certainly create a demand for skilled people throughout the value chain. UIQ Technology is a really strong group of these skilled people. So there will certainly be a role for UIQ Technology, but finding exactly the right role will take some time."
Oh yes of course i see especially with this
"UIQ Technology is a really strong group of these skilled people."
So strong that they just sacked what was it two thirds of them on announcement of the Foundation, so much for a commitment to UIQ or any chance of anything new coming. Plus of course SE were one of the driving forces in this move for the Symbian foundation i bet it was all there idea no really it was honest.
When you add to that what they are saying about profit and market share for this year it really isn't a pretty picture is it?
IMO a total lack of innovation and drive and just rehashing old products in new cases has really started to hurt SE. They have really lost the high ground they once held and what brought them more users.
It is very obvious by both the number of complaint threads and firmware woe threads that SE's innovation and quality have both gone for a walk. Until they manage to return to what made them once great they are destined to struggle where there are now IMO.
What's more with their attitude it's where they deserve to be and it serves them right. They really should of realised they can't bite the hand that feeds them and take liberties with their users as otherwise this is what happens. All but the most faithful users have gone elsewhere and it is far easier to lose them then to get them back.
