If a buyout does happen,all the prototypes that se has for 2012,may just get rebranded.The same thing that happened with ericsson portfolio,when the JV was created.Afterall,xperia is a really strong brand,especially in Japan,where xperia handsets are the top selling smartphones.

No doubt they will be forced to make some sort of statement if the rumours are being reported so widely by the WSJ etc.
Rumours were flying around in the weeks before the 10th birthday, may be this new crop of rumours stems from there.

Such rumours are easily picked up by reputable publications even if they may be complete fabrication. It is the original source that is in question here, ie, those who are said to be close to the story.
this clearly doesn't matter
if sites like buisnessweek reuters wsj are reporting something like this, it makes an impact on investors analysts ...
...money makes decisions

Past 2 days I have kept trying the Sony Ericsson shop website but it always seems down

Hope that's not a sign
The original shop closed, and you how purchase stuff directly from the main SE website

Who exactly are those 'majority of the people' who don't know Ericsson? Ericsson was the successful cellphone manufacturer between the two parents and was clearly better known as a cellphone company than Sony the cellphone manufacturer.
Maybe, but sony is one of the main electronic companies it's name is known all over the world and is extremely well known, find me someone who doesn't know about sony. Ericsson compared obviously doesn't come close, and so when people hear sony ericsson, they know sony so they presume its sony. try googling 'is ericsson' the result that pops down as a suggestion search is 'is ericsson part of sony' and try 'is sony' and you get 'is sony ericsson part of sony'. Then of course sony ericsson are using all the brands of sony to sell their phones, walkman, cyber-shot, bravia, exmor-r etc. which further would make people presume its only sony. Okay ericsson stuff is used too, but that is much more behind the scenes and isn't used in advertising etc.
My point, if you ask someone about sony ericsson so many people who don't follow technology wouldn't think twice. Look at the SE facebook page the comments section is always full of 'i love sony' 'sony is best'

Patents prey? I'm afraid.
Both have very good technology but unable to combined them together, iSad will continue without the end of tunnel in both tragic if this rumour become true!
Generally recognized as Sony standalone in this JV things but I don't think it will be going well if Sony buy out happen.
Samsung already overtaken most of Asian markets as well as HTC dominating American market and both doing well in penetrating to European market.
Sony still need Ericsson to defense it last fan-based (and

know how & patents) in Europe which is reasonable strong.
Haven't count Apple iPhone which is flying high. Both firms need to combined their business together to stay in this business or both out!

@Adsada,
You said people search the net for is ericsson part of sony, or does sony ericsson belong to sony, its true they do search that alot, and thankfully they do, so after asking that question they do come to know that its a diffrent company. SO that in itself give sony ericsson its own recognition.
Also its pretty common for people to shorten a company to its first name, for example johnson & johnson, people call it only johnson, does it mean they like first johnson and not the second one ?
I think the market sales and success of tablet S and tablet P(or was it s2) will decide if sony can be successful on their own as a phone company because thats the closest they have done to compete against other phone manufacturers..

Bringing the mobile development in-house is probably a very good move for Sony.

Yes but my point is that only the people who bother to research it (google it) will discover they are 2 seperate companies, the majority of people wouldn't bother to check my point about google was only to show that that is the kind of thing people wonder, and so they do not know.
