He sounds Japanese. He joined Sony in 1967.

It would be quite an auspicious occasion if he takes SE's 'no consumer contact' policy with him

Apparently he was seen with a N95 lately. He got it as a present from Nokia Europe
The S60 is a ways more attractive platform then the Uiq. I hope they will offer him a 'decent' position, on the other hand I guess, a Store manager job will do it - to begin with

Thanks Mr. Flint!
Welcome Komiyama-sama!
If Hideki Komiyama is the man behind the VAIO revival strategy, that is hopefully reason enough to believe that SE will continue going strong. His track record sounds impressive and he's no beginner.
However, this might be slightly subjective coming from a happy VAIO user...
As for the laments about Mr. Flint successor not being an Ericsson man (or woman), cheer up, we are talking about Sony Ericsson here, not the other way round. Maybe next time, though.

Here a little biography:
Hideki Komiyama , Chairman of the Board - Sony Electronics Inc.
Executive Vice President - Electronics Marketing and Sales Strategies, Sony Corporation
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hideki “Dick” Komiyama became Sony Electronics’ chairman of the board and Sony’s corporate executive vice president and senior general manager for Sony Corporation in April 2006. In this role, he will take what he has accomplished at Sony Electronics and apply it worldwide.
Prior to this position, he was president and chief operating officer of SEL since spring 2003.
In this role he oversaw the company’s evolution from the digital marketplace into the broadband future by advocating the advancement of groundbreaking electronics devices and services to enhance consumer lifestyles and develop new business-to-business solutions.
Before that role, he was president of Sony’s Electronic Devices Marketing Group in Tokyo where he was responsible for the global sales and marketing of semiconductors, devices and components.
Komiyama joined Sony in 1967. Throughout his prestigious career, he has held a number of strategic management positions in both the United States and Tokyo.
Komiyama’s first major contribution to Sony has been recognized as his development of the powerful consumer marketing and sales operation in the United States.
He was directly responsible for launching Sony’s Trinitron® color televisions and influencing the development and growth of Sony’s consumer business in the United States.
More recently, Komiyama accomplished the establishment of Sony’s PC business in the U.S. market.
He was responsible for re-strategizing and re-launching the VAIO® brand at a time when Sony’s presence in the highly competitive computer industry was barely noted.
Komiyama holds an M.B.A. from the Wharton School of Business and Finance and completed the Advanced Management Program at Harvard Business School in 1988. He earned his B.S. in electrical engineering from Waseda University in Tokyo. He serves as executive vice president of the Japanese Chamber of Commerce in N.Y.

why always a sony guy? why don't sony just buy the remaining 50% from Ericsson?
almost everything about an SE phone is sony.
and thats why sales will start to stabelize, fans will be lost, profit will go down
