Remember for ex. that Three had a SE planned for the X-series as well, but had to drop it, because it was so buggy.

I enjoyed them a lot; I always liked their style, their menu, UI and went back to Nokia only because I don't like P-series phones. To me e61 is the best smart phone in an industry at this moment. But SonyEricsson has a lot of potential. I had a lot of Ericsson, Sony and then SonyEricsson phones in the past.

In the mid-range more, i.e. the K800 etc are doing exceedingly well, and Nokia should certainly offer the sweet candy type of UI animated graphics as an option as well (although I personally find the SE UI too busy, too candy candy after a while). Also, it is a completely different ball game to have 5-10% market share from having a 20++% market share. For now I really don't see SE having the muscle, the organization, logistics, marging that would be needed for it to really start threatening Nokia or Moto. SE has done great though within its slice of the market. SE is not much of threat to Nokia in the high end, at least not yet.

WTF is a phone without end/send buttons? That's like having a radio with no volume control. Sadly, though, SE I think is limited until they start putting damn end/send buttons on their phones.

Sony did not went head on against nokia as nokia was a big player but with its product line, it is slowly overtaking nokia. The quality of sony eric is far better than nokia phones in terms of software and hardware. I have practically used all nokia phones leaving some very ugly models. I have experinced all version of s40, s60 s80 as well as s90. Nokia have software issues with virtually all the phones and even a series 40 phone gets freeze very often. Even the low end phones have software and hardware issues. i dont deny that sony ercicsson does not have this issues but not as much as nokia has. S60's multitasking is still not that good as you cannot run web browser and opera browser simulataneously and not only that, the basic capability of phone which is making and receiving calls is not that satisfactory as the phone gets heated up very soon. I remember, my nokia 6280 lost network and the service center kept it for more than i month to finally replace the phone. This happens in one of the most potential market of the world - India. If nokia keeps on offering this kind of products and services, then sony ericsson will not need to try really hard to take over nokia as nokia will itself make customer shift brand due to low satisfaction it provides. Sony ericsson next step should be producing symbian platform smart phones with non screen touch to further eat nokia's market share and incorporating carl ziess lens in its high end camera phones. SE should also highlight its product lines by advertising its poducts into vrious categories such as music, multimedia, business, as nokia has done by introducing N Series targetting at multi media users and E series at business users. thats absolutely right.
