What I observed last week the service centre here has just acquired the other side of the floor in the building...apparently more and more pepole are taking to fix their SE mobiles. (and of course their repairs department is expanding no matter what)

I can't help but notice,while SE talks about a 'general market slow-down',Samsung post a 50% profit growth in the second quarter ! And yes,cell phones are one driving factor (the other is their LCD branch). Now who is right SE or Samsung ?
Go samsung Go

@Dogmann
What is a joke is your continuing attempts to slate SE.
You criticise others ability to read and understand financial figures and yet you selectively choose figures to back up your flawed argument.
You quoted SE's gross margin figures but not
Nokia's
SE Gross margin 23.1%
Nokia Gross margin 14.7% as a group, 20.1% in Devices and Services.
Also SE's Average Selling Price is 116Euro, while
Nokia's Average Selling Price is 74Euro down 18%
...showing that of the two, SE is still the Premium brand. A premium brand is one that commands a higher price for its products than its competitors.
Despite the fact that ASP is down (showing a decrease in sales of mid and high priced models and an increase in cheaper models in emerging markets), you still maintain that Smart phones are a growing market. Even Nokia don't agree with you.
Perhaps you aren't so good at reading financial reports as you thought.
And how about learning to type english in a way that it can be understood clearly? A few full-stops and capital letters wouldn't go amiss.

@Car You are so wrong . . . And not only in just one place
@Dogman,do yourself a favour bud,don't even bother to answer to his post,he will go away all by himself eventually
Actually let me help the poor nerd by pointing one of his many wrong assumptions:
@Car, If someone charges you more for something which you can get it around the corner for half price,it does NOT necessarely mean is of better quality ! If you remember this out of all the posts in the forum, then you've learned something from esato
Oh,you want proof? Go ask you dad - I answer questions every day (I have 3 kids), I wont be bothered answerend yours too
Pace and out of here -

So you think an SE phone is just an over-priced wanabe Nokia? Careful, you bias is showing
It is a well known marketing strategy by small companies competing with a large company which dominates a market that to make an impact, one must aim thier products at a higher market who will pay more. Its how BMW stays in car manufacturing despite the might of Toyota, Honda, GM and Ford. SE pride themselves on thier Point of Difference and I agree. I much prefer using a
to a Nokia.

When I was reading the posts in this thread, I felt sad for a great company like SE. Then in a reflective mood, I asked myself who is buying SE cellphones at the moment. I began to take an interest in what make of cellphones my friends are using. Pls don't laugh. I discover that recent SE cellphone users are people like myself.
I am a babyboomer who went to college in the 70s. We didn't use computers on campus then. So I am not technologically savvy. My computer skills were basic. I got my assistant to do most of the work involving computers during my workdays. I have worked hard all my life & I expect to have material comfort now that I am in retirement. Sony was a huge brand when I was growing up & their audiovisual equipment had a reputation for durability(really big deal in the 60s & 70s in this part of the world).
I don't know whether it was nostalgia or the goodwill Sony has built up, I automatically wanted an SE phone when I needed a new cellphone after retirement. I paid a premium for my C905 though I seldom use the music player or camera. Only two conditions are consequential to me: I want to be seen using an SE phone (the same goes for my LV handbags) & I could make/receive calls where/when I need.
But one day we will be so old that we wouldn't be able to take care of ourselves. Then cellphones will be bought for us by our kids. I wonder if they will still get us SE phones! Now I become nostalgic again. Sony was a market leader in audiovisual equipment in the 70s & 80s & I simply love their products.

"I want to be seen using an SE phone"
It seems a bit odd that you should have such a requirement at your age. most people grow out of that image consciousness in their teens.
