I think Motorola will buy SE and then Nokia will buy Motorola and then Toyota will buy Nokia.

has always been a 50-50 joint-venture from day one so the new entity that was
was not Sony and was not Ericsson. They didn't merge their old mobile divisions, they actively set about creating a new company altogether.
They are the parent companies so one's mobile division did not save the other, rather
was created from what each believed was the best they had to offer.
Their respective individual mobile handset making are all but dead, however I do remember reading that there is a clause in the original agreement that allows both companies to resurrect their original mobile brands at any time if they wanted to!
By year 2001 Ericsson's Mobile market share had plunged from a healthy No 2 to a shadow of its former self and Ericsson itself believes one of the reasons for this was its failure to capitalise on the emerging multimedia technologies like MMS and camera-phones, which other companies immediately picked up and ran with.
Sony suffered from simply being unable to make any decent headway in the market.
Its funny how these rumours surface from time to time. I posted another thread about the exact opposite possibility a few weeks ago in which analysts believe it would be in Ericsson's best interest to sell its stake in
http://www.esato.com/board/viewtopic.php?topic=113696&start=0
Already a success an building mobile and data networks, why does Ericsson need a mobile handset business anyway?
We know it manufactures mobile platforms for many other companies like Philips etc, and does well there too but isn't it a bit like Ford aiming to do extremely well in the remote control toy car business? (Poor analogy I know but you get the point
)
I am not sure any split would be wise. Sony would probably be the wisest choice as sole parent of
but I do think it would be doomed if it ever gave up the Ericsson part of the brandname.

What Goldenface says is perfectly reasonable and logical. I pretty much agree with everything he said in that post.
