@bolaG

It was very poorly written. The point they were trying to get across is that the present SonyEricsson division wishes to make smartphones going forward... as opposed to feature phones. That means no more entry-level candy bar phones reminiscent of the early 90s. Smartphones are where the market is headed. If they continue in the feature phone arena it'd be as successful as if they continued making cassette walkman players.

i really hope sony will continue to make a few feature phones too along with all the great smart phones

there are still some part of the market that only wants to use feature phones and nothing more
with physical keypads and don't mind the small screen

sony is a good brand by itself
i don't mind if they buy out the shares and change the name
as long as they are moving forward and not backwards
you, sony, will have my full support as a customer!

Sony is looking for a way to keep its market share since smart phones now account for more game downloads then ps3 or xbox. I think this move is a must!

Sony Ericsson logo is much better than the Sony logo.

Ericsson is a very strong brand. this would be a bad decision. After all without Ericsson, Sony Ericsson would be what it is now. Lets not forget that Ericsson was a leader in the market when the joint-venture was made. Sony was just a insignificant player at that time.

Use the standard 'SONY' logo.

Yes. there is some recognition of 'Sony Ericcson' logo, but it should be Sony's goal to move away from the 'Sony Ericcson' logo to standard 'SONY' logo.

When you have a very very very very strong brand like 'SONY' never compromise it with something like 'Ericcson' and with this kind of a logo no matter however good it looks.

Dear Ericcson, I have nothing against you. Extract your 'pound of flesh' and let Sony go.
