Quite honestly, we can't imagine now as being an awesome, jovial time to be heading up any division of Sony Ericsson. Thus, we're not too awfully shocked to hear that Najmi Jarwala, President of Sony Ericsson USA and Head of Region North America (comprising the US and Canada markets), has decided to leave his corner office at the end of March in order to "pursue other career opportunities." The announcement comes just a weekend after SE proclaimed that its Q1 sales were down some 50 percent, and with the outfit's somewhat lackluster showing at MWC (Idou notwithstanding), we can't imagine things magically turning around in the near future. At any rate, Anders Runevad (pictured), Executive VP and Head of Global Sales & Marketing will be taking over until a successor is named, and that's assuming anyone is willing to walk into such a severely precarious situation.[Via MobileBurn]
Who the hell is that guy? Looks nothing like Najmi Jarwala.

Reading and comprehending is hard paw, shucks.
For a starter, SE is so stupid to try to compete in the USA when most of its phones don't even have the GSM 850 signal that AT&T uses. How expensive is it to produce quad band phones? I like a lot of PDA's and high end phones, but they're tri-band...
