samsung have earned the position they are in now. .and so have SE. If se went under, i'd carry on buying symbian in whatever guise it continues in, rather than buy the vastly overpriced iphone, anything from htc because i dislike windows, and avoid android altogether.

I'd say Miles Flynt is the root of all this trouble. When he was at the helm he introduced the "profitability over quality" concept which apparently saw the production of a flood of low to mid-segment SE clones in slightly different shells. I say we carry our pitch-forks and fiery torches and send him to hell If they actually split, I'd stay with Ericsson because Sony will be stingy with their latest technologies. Ericsson was the first to introduce music and imaging on phones eventhough only as attachments at first with HPM-10 and MCA-10. I remember MCA-10 was a black and white camera mainly to capture images for their phones' wallpaper, very primitive but cool at the time

I thought the first ever mp3 phone was the Siemens SL55? I never knew Ericsson were the first.

started going down around the time of the p990i and their movement away from what the customer wants. New management is what is needed to shake them up and remind them that they were innovators and not followers.

Earlier on I would have expected to be the first ones to introduce an omnia HD phone but today they have been relegated to following those concepts.
No longer can I buy a phone and feel as though I have something that everyone else wants.

HPM-10 is (present tense because I still have one in good condition) compatible with phones as far back as T28, R320, R310 and A2618, definitely earlier than SL55. First built in MP3 capable phone perhaps, but first to capture people's imagination? I don't think so.

Actually I thought that un-expectation of IPhone popular stream in time of changing between Flint and Komiyama-san brought long roadmap down, and they learnt it slowly that faulty.

I Agree, i hope you see my old posts where i constantly criticized this person for the ultimate defeat of SE during 2007 with the massive failure of all their 3 top-of-the-line series. the failure hits SE so hard that even Komiyama-san deemed that he can't save SE from the troubles even by releasing decent high end phones.

I never liked the merger of sony w/ ericsson. I simply adore Ericsson in every angle, though there may be no argument that early Ericsson models lacked the features to deal w/ other manufacturers pound for pound. Nevertheless, I chose ericsson on the basis that it's products simply delivered the results I was looking for a mobile tool: reliability & perfomance.

Should the two decide to call it quits, then i sure hope that Ericsson finds it's resources to stand up and create the phones that I once liked.

I don't see why they would... the mobile handset industry isn't the cash cow it once was. These days one needs to create the device that works with a successful platform or you lose bigtime.
RIM and Apple are both proprietary AND successful. Perhaps open-source is not the way to be financially successful no matter how many friends it wins you among users.
