I think if they wanna really boost Sony Ericsson, they gotta be more like Nokia. Nokia has phones ranging from bargain bin to top of the line, and I believe with any Nokia you get more then what you paid for compared to others. My last phone, a Nokia 6275i, pretty much is the exact same as my friend's Sony Ericsson w810i in terms of specs, and mine was a little longer, thinner and heavier. I also think it looked nicer (black, chrome and gray is always nice). Anyways, I payed $100 or so less then he did, and they're virtually the same. So this is what I mean. Other companies offer even extremely similar phones to theirs at a lower cost. They gotta fix that. I think what Sony believes in general is that people no matter what the price is will buy their products because over the years they have built a name for themselves, being known as reliable and top of the line. This still works, but it worsens day by day as people are starting to realize that there are other companies out there that will get you the same stuff for a much better price.
They refuse to make the PSP phone! If they refuse to compete, to listen to (potential) customers, or to use the patents available to them...let them die!
