I just hope it will be only better in terms of support and R&D.
It's a huge company able to blow HTC or even Nokia.
I keep fingers crossed for top notch Xperias.

Hope they come up with a new phone fast as my Arc is a year old in June and normally I buy a new device after a year.

Nothing is changing really. The part of Ericsson that was working on consumer phones is now just owned by Sony too. Same people working on the phones.
The only thing that might change is more integration between Sony products and SE phones. For example: Sony is working on an Android-based Walkman, they might base their software off SE's Android. Would save them a lot of work. And the audio enhancements in the Walkman may be easily ported to the SE devices, and vice versa.
We might also be seeing more integration between Sony TV's and smartphones. Sony will be switching to Google TV 2.0 for their televisions quite soon as far as I know.

That's not good.
I'd rather they fire all the Ericsson people and move everything back to Japan.

Stupidest thing I have read today. Ericsson is a pioneer in communication technology. I can almost guarantee every phone call you make, goes through an Ericsson communication node. They are used all over the world.

Because that would be so easy, not to mention fair.

Good news I think.
Sony have always made top-notch products, and have the manufacturing capabilities of brining world beating stuff to market quickly (Blu-Ray for example).
This will only bee good, it's going to be Sony-Ericsson on speed. bigger and better and more integrated products.

I expect we'll see the End of March launch (as is typical with SE) of their next top of the range handset, branded SONY instead of SE.. and also SE have really made massive leaps in the android market this year.. next year I think they'll start to take significant market share off the likes of HTC and Samsung...

Which phone to replace my Universal

I have loved this phone but it is getting too tired and I need something up to date with more power and storage. Alas HTC don't seem to be doing anything comparable.
The latest Athena is too big for me and anyway no UK network seem to be providing it?
The Kaiser seems neat but the screen is too small, any thoughts anyone?
Jon
I have a Jasjar too but I dont think there is any replacement for it yet. Its a powerhouse truely meant for corporate people or the people who love to experiment.
Stick with JasJar (Uni, O2 Exec etc), give it a ROM upgrade, new body if you feel it looks too rough and enjoy. I know I am sticking with mine, especially considering I fully assembled it from parts, so now it's my baby in more ways than one
I hawe set the same question on another forum.
And the answer was the same.
No one has the will or space to carry Shift or Athena they are just too big.
Uni is the biggest thing i can wear in my pants expect my JoyStick offcourse.
I heard today that Htc is planning to release 10new devices this year so we can only hope there will be something like Universal Enchanced like they done whit Advantage.

I'm now using a T-mobile Vario III (Kaiser) as a replacement for my Exec and I'm very pleased with it. Yes the screen is smaller but it's improved clarity along with the general ease of use of the device means it's not too much of a disadvantage for me.
I'm still keeping my Exec though, it makes an excellent satnav and micro-laptop.
The only phone that can match the power and specs of the HTC Advantage X7510 & Athena as of now is the Samsung Omnia: http://samsungomnia.com/
You can check youtube for the videos and see how fast this baby works. Not to mention it supports DIVX and XVID movies out of the box, with a 5MP camera.
...
Since Samsung is contracted to make a phone that is quite similar to another phone the resemblance is uncanny isn't it?
Omnia have a latest PXA320 processor which default speed is up to 800 MHz, a 256 KB L2 cache, and a 32-bit DDR memory interface, that is more powerful with comparation of qualcomm bulls***s
how about my recommendation
Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1

The Sony Xperia is a solid, well designed phone, but one thing I noticed from watching all the videos of the demo use of the Xperia in youtube, IT IS REALLY VERY SLOW. So unless they can do something with the speed before it's release, they can't convince me to buy this phone.
wow...
its seem we got another friends from sony ericsson that hv window mobile as its os...

This is going to be a low-end android phone from motorola in like the $50 or less price range. not the G1 v2 or anything like that.

the pictures device is codenamed moto morrison. (not official name upon release) its suppose to be an entry level and aiming as a 99 dollar price with 2 year contract. and appeal mroe to teens.
g1v2 code name is bigfoot. (again not official name) but in other sources it says g1v2 aka big foot aka morrison.. and it seems like all these sources are getting things mixed up.
http://phandroid.com/phones/#rumored as u can see the bigfoot is made by samsung and morrison is made by moto.. so i am sure people are getting things mixed up. we will never know until its made official. i just wish the hero would come out for tmobile.. =( but there was a tmobile conference mentioning the hero and the reply was"they dont want nothign to do with the hero"
FCCA documents show the htc hero coming out on ATTs frequencies.. and since apple wants to leave att, the htc hero could be its successor.

2.1 update postponed to 2012 :(

i am a business management student..and we are taught how to maximize wealth ..but we are never taught how to be innovative.
managers are just doin their jobs...i.e wealth maximization for shareholders
Looks fake....
Looks totally fake to me.... I guess in 2012 Google would have android 4.xx or something new. And I am sure that Sony wouldn't care about supporting X10a till then.... So just relax and wait for SE to release 2.1 in Oct 2010 or X10a to be rooted.

Robert Downey Jr. To become HTC global smartphone ambassador

I didn't see this mentioned here yet, apologies if it has already been.
So what do you guys/gals think ? Personally I think it's a good move considering the pull he could have from a marketing standpoint. It's been noted that he'll be playing himself and not ironman.

For marketing to be successful there needs to be a high number of placements, impressions and repetition. That takes money. So for BB and HTC to have Alicia Keys and Robert Downey Jr. as tie-ins is great. But not having the money to keep that in the public eye kind of limits its effectiveness. For Samsung, the Jay Z endorsement is about .001% of their overall promotional budget and is a throw-away. HTC's total marketing budget is about $300MM which sounds big but is pretty small against $8B in sales when you're trying to market to a global audience.
I know I should have thought of Iron Man first, but I instead imagined Sherlock Holmes using an HTC One.
I can imagine him doing great stuff with Sense 5 and telling Watson "It is simplicity itself!"

Downey will be featured in the campaign as himself, not the characters he plays in movies including Iron Man and Sherlock Holmes, and will have final say over creative elements, the people said, declining to be named because the talks aren't public. The maker of the slim, metal HTC One handset will likely feature Downey in television, print and billboard ads, they said.​http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2013-...ert-downey-jr-for-12-million-ad-campaign.html

Sony consistently disappoints with its camera performance. Check all the z series forums and you'll see plenty of disappointed users. [emoji22]

The X series has not been released yet. It could be released sometime in Q3 of 2016 when NO ONE traditionally buys a new phone, so once again, Sony will release a device under the radar and sales will be minimal.
