Iphone has have a effect, but do you really think that iphone had any effect of this report? I mean iphone sold what 1 million mostly in USA where SE and Nokia don't exist. Iphone even as it's superb product and currently is selling great have absolutely no effect to what SE is going through now. Take those USA glasses away.
SE's problems are the same as Moto's. SE thought it was enough after those groundbreaking products and money coming out of the windows 3 years ago to stop it there and trust that the cypershot and Walkman brand will be enough and what they have achieved now will carry them around, but as we saw with Moto it just dosen't work and so did Nokia steal the spotlight as having best camera around and Nokia, Samsung smoking SE out of the emerging markets.
Sales numbers were bad on their mid to high end phones because no one was carrying them. I was all set to pickup a K850 from AT&T in March/April only to see it cut at the very last minute and replaced with that ungodly Z750a. I would happily buy a C902 if a major carrier would come out with a U.S. version. Sorry SE, but I'm not going to pay 500 bucks on ebay for a crippled 3G phone.
I don't know who is responsible for a lack or SE phones supported by U.S. carriers, but thats why I have an iPhone in my pocket instead of an SE. Call it the iPhone effect if you want, me I call it tired of waiting for a quadband SE phone thats worth a damn.
SE misjudged consumers... in an effort to try and maximize profits they were releasing a bunch of mediocre phones instead of releasing phones that are good all around. For instance They dubb the cybershot phones for taking pictures and the walkman phones for music... Well the memory is crippled first of all for walkman phones because they started pushing yet another standard the memory stick micro with little memory. Do they not know that people want to put more than 2gb of music on their "walkmans"? The "camera phones" top out at 3MP and again memory shortage... They never released a phone that excelled at both music, functionality and pictures. But this is only the tip of the iceberg..
