Mobile phone maker Sony Ericsson has reported a huge jump in quarterly profits and expects continued growth throughout the rest of the year. This quarters pre-tax profit was 151million euros, double that of last years quarter which was 70million euros a year ago. Analysts had expected a figure closer to 130million. The company had also managed to sell its phones at a higher price than the year before.
You cant help but see Sony Ericsson phones when you wander the high street, Sony has capitalised on its ‘Walkman’ range offering the hugely popular W800i Walkman phone and this strategy has seemed to have worked. The firm, owned by Sweden's Ericsson and Japan's Sony, said that it shipped a total of 13.3 million handsets in the quarter, up 41% from the same period the year before.

SE rocks
My next phone will be either their new P990 or the M600. Both look like great phones.
Thinking of their crisis before joining Sony, that decision must have been a big success for them.
And I have to agree and think they're making pretty good phones these days.
I won't ever by another SE phone unless they change that major design flaw!
Or should I hold out for the W950i?
All SE needs to do is speed it up (write it in something other than Java or add a faster chip).
I can't wait to get another SE phone in November when I need to renew my contract.
Nokia Blows..
you go SE
you rock
