Sony Ericsson sees increased profits

Bucking expectations, Sony Ericsson has just announced rising profits to the tune of a 54% increase during the second quarter of this year. This sales boon pushed SE’s market share up 3 points to 9%, a move made that much more impressive considering Apple’s recent power play. SE is still a distant 4th in the wireless game, coming in behind Nokia, Motorola, and Samsung, but last quarters results should prove to give them a bit of a push. Despite their relative gains, the company is still marred by decreasing per-unit margins and falling average phone costs. It’s a tough world out there.

    It doesn’t surprise me as much as it actually does surprise me because they have some great phones (new walkman slider) and some really shitty phones like the W600i, not that mine was shitty just that it had major firmware problems and had less than 6 month market time, so as long as SE puts out more phones like the new walkman slider then it doesn’t surprise me but if they throw out more phones with MAJOR firmware problems then this blog surprises me.

    Is this worldwide sales or U.S. or Europe?
    C’mon where are you talking about guys?
