Sony Ericsson sees huge profit and unit shipments
While Motorola continues to languish in profitless prison, competitor Sony Ericsson is awash in sales and profit. The Swedish-Japanese partnership reported larger-than-life jumps in revenue, profit and handset shipments for its most recent quarter. Analysts were once again amazed that the recent performance of the joint partnership could sustain itself, and whaddayaknow -- it has. SE's quarterly revenue for the April-June period stood at $4.3 billion (37 percent jump from a year ago) while unit shipments spiked to almost 25 million for the quarter, a 60 percent life from the 15.7 million shipments from the year-ago quarter. Right now, SE has about 9 percent of the planet's handset market share. Impressive.
New Sony Ericsson candybar in the works?
Sony Ericsson may be about to announce a new mid-level (or entry-level) K-series handset based on pretty convincing images that don't appear as Photoshop'ish as we've seen recently. This Sony Ericsson prototype model appears to have a digicam reminiscent of the K510i (and other semi-new handsets) along with the wide, large-keypad design of some of SE's newer entry-level handsets like the J100i. With Sony Ericsson's entry-level and mid-level handset portfolio fairly complete at this time, we wonder what this new model (if it even exists) will bring to the table.[Via just another mobile phone blog]
