I'd be interested to see what comes along when Sony brings their mobile development in-house - Sony Mobile.
I'd be very surprised if Ericsson reappeared in high street stores - the market really is cut-throat.

Yes,it would be like starting over again for them. All the Sony branding will sell & what does Ericsson have that will make them sell??

Surely if sony does buy out ericsson, it would make sure it takes all their patents and stuff, effectively making it impossible for ericsson to do this. And they (hopefully) will stick with the name sony ericsson, if they do will they not by the name trademark as well?

I would've preferred to seen it differently. But i can understand why Sony would do this.
I don't think Ericsson would restart making phones on their own, to bad actually.
About naming
phones, most people over here say Ericsson instead of Sony.
The only good thing Sony had to offer before the joint venture was the jogdial, but now with all those nice touch screens its out of date. I admit walkman branding helpt, and the camera modules where great.
But Memory stick was plain stupid, after they abandend UIQ and the P5 it all went down hill. Nothing new came to the market, half finished products, products that were out of date before they hit the market, overpriced products, poor pr campaigns. When a company ignores its loyal fans they will lose in the end.
Samsung was clever enough to read all our comments here and they are now the leading company.
I myself am not sure what i'll do. I still use my trust P1i. Had the X10 but sold it after a week, it was boring and the software wasn't finished yet. the neo is a nice phone, but abit over priced. I think i'll just wait for the last batch of phones under the name of
and then decide. Maby i'll just buy a half a dozen old
phones and use them for the rest of my life.

If Ericsson would want to get back into phone making on its own the smart thing would be to take the Apple model. Put vanilla Android on the flagship ST-Ericsson SoC and update it once a year. Unless this move means Sony will be able to pump more money into R&D and ultimately pull up along side HTC and Samsung, I don't see this making much difference. But then if Sony wants to be like Samsung with a model for every 0.2" of screen size between 4" and 10" I guess this move will really make sense.

Comparing Ericsson and Sony is like comparing German and Japanese cars if you all know anything about cars then you will know which is best.
