I might be mistaken, but didn't SE say something about issue 40 new models during 2007?
If they manage to do that, and in the same time keep the same level of quality on all models, they really going to make an impact on the market, and Samsung better be watching out.

Mr Flint stated that one of the reasons why SE has such a good quarterly report is that they taking care of the logistic them self. After the success with the T610 model they realized they could have sold even more if there logistics had worked.
To day SE are manufacturing 40% of there own mobiles, rest is manufactured by entrepreneurs, so they can have a much better control on the hole picture in getting phones to the shops.

@London Andy

Well they have also purchased big stakes in their manufacturing plants too so they have more control of the whole process. They did have a bad reputation for running short of handsets, which must have affected sales figures - I remember it happening with the W800i after it was launched.

Whats needed now is a nice selection of Cyber-shot handsets - 20MP upwards, they need to capitalise on the success of the K800i. The 5.0MP cam is bound to be a hit - as long as the design is right then there is no reason why it shouldn't be as successful as the K800i.

Great news for SE.

But with all the outsourced manufacturing + cost cutting, there will be no more phones made in Sweden or France like the good old days.

That's same for every company though.

Quote:"Samsung meanwhile has seen sales at its telecommunications unit decline 1% in the fourth quarter to KRW 4.65 trillion ($4.95bn) down 3% year-on-year to KRW 18.24 trillion ($19.4bn), despite it selling a record 32 million handsets during the quarter."


It would seem Samsungs market share is 3% down compared to this time last year. Moto is not too happy either.

Also from the same link, Ai is to be announced in February according to Miles Flint.

Yes, those where the happy days, but who can afford that now?
If they had manufacturing in Sweden the quarterly report would not be as nice.

I really like Mr Flints answer to what he thinks about Apples entry to the market.

"We do not want to comment on competitors, and while we respect all of all our competitors, we fear none of them,"

And he continue...

"We have got hit products in the pipeline to replace our current hit products,"
