Sony is notorious for crappy handsets anyway, so its not a surprise they have lost 97% of Net Profit.
The phones they DO have are nothing spectacular, and CLEARLY these Scandinavian companies (Im talking to you Sony Ericsson and Nokia) are in ca-hoots with each other, designing phones that go up a model number but look and do the same as the one before, and try to market 5 year old handsets as being NEW for double the cost.
Sony Ericsson is also the one who put out the ever faulty SE T610, the LAST phone T-Mobile carried. Hell, even T-Mobile told me the phone had problems and asked me if I wanted something different to start with. I refused, had it replaced 3x before I finally got to keep it, and upgraded to the V600.
Emerging markets? Like what? Namibia? Not that people dont need some form of telephony but lets be honest here... its 2008 - if you dont have it already, lets look to building something else other then GPRS/GSM phones.
FAIL SONY ERICSSON - oh, might I also mention that the upcoming phones all look mediocre and have less features then any other phones on the market.
“While it's not exactly punching it out with the heavyweights in multi-room audio, the Mint Studio does certainly hold its own with many similarly-priced iPod docks out there.”
