Agree, 110% of the way - I still back Komiyama to do something at SEMC/(J).

I just hope SE gets out of this situation...
Otherwise, I'd be forced to buy an ugly Nokia, a boring Samsung or a crappy LG in the future.

@my ninja, it's not like SE produces the cheapest phones around. You can get a dual SIM, 2.8" touchscreen, 2 MP camera phone for quite a cheap price nowadays - and they work. SE can only be successful in the low/med segment for a limited time and that is by using it's name and reputation obtained way back in the P900 era. Eventually people are going to realize that the cost of an SE device is just not worth it. There's a magic number: (features+looks+brand name)/cost, well, SE's magic number is getting smaller and smaller every day and this is not good.

Well to be fair, all I did was state 'this is what Ive heard from souce x and source y' and then give a short comment on the matter 'I dont think the market will be too fond of this'.
If we were to go into it (straying from the topic) I would have to mostly agree with MyNinja. But we cant pull solutions to such problems out of a hat as we dont have the experience of running a huge multi-national corporation.
Also, there must be a good reason why, say, WM/CS isnt made. If that sort of thing was intended, dont you think Sony would have made a WM/CS product by now? They could, because theyre Sony, and Sony is huge and knows all about it, but they dont. For some reason Sony themselves keep the two product lines seperate. So SE is not at the heart of this problem.
Also, its clear the problem is strategic and not technological. SE Japan flexes SE's true muscles, and proves beyond all doubt that SE is perfectly capable of producing handsets with specs to smash any Nokia you could come up with. But they dont elsewhere...at least not yet. I wish they would, and Id love to at least know why they dont implement at least some of the technical expertise, not because I cant accept the difference in technological pace/development between Japan and the rest of the world, but because a 97% drop in profits tells me they are failing and need to do something about it.
I apologize for this off topic post. But let me say that I hope all Ive mentioned in this rant will be rectified in some way by SE sooner rather than later, and I hope we will grow to see this dip in SE's success as a cause for reinvention of the brand rather than the beginning of the end.

I hope amongst the 2000 to be sacked by SE are the top guys at the helms of affairs who have showed lack of imagination and massively disappointed millions of SE fans...

Right back ON TOPIC after all this BS talk. Any more news on Hecaro? Or are we going to continue to bitch and moan?

Maybe if PK and other testers are sacked, they could leak everything in protest. Beta testers should start filling up their HD with spy pics. Hold
at ransom. I don't want you lot to be sacked btw.
Anyway, one F series phone has been announced so is the series all about motion gaming or is there scope for F phones with advanced graphics and stuff?
If there is the X2 and X5, does this mean they will have touchscreens or what? You can't have much of an experience without a touchscreen right?
The index of phones like the W980 and G900 suggests that they are the top end for their range so does that mean that
have come close to the end of Walkmans or G phones? Maybe these are the last batch before indexes like P1, X1, X2 and X5 are used to indicate a change/ step forward for
?

I hope Hecaro is announced soon else, it would be very sad.And i hope its got impressive specs.
Interestingly no one seems to be talking about Hecaro...is it that no one has had any glimpse of it or have people been banned from even talking about it for fear of being sanctioned.

I totally agree, it should be them rather than the ones following orders...imo
