Just to let you know: according to some sources, HTC might soon stop using Qualcomm’s sluggish 3G chips, and will instead go for Ericsson’s Mobile Platform (EMP), especially since the latter produces one of the smallest tri-band 3.5G chipsets.
You probably think that Sony's joint venture with Ericsson doesn't really have a major impact on the company's overall earnings. Well, maybe, but not in this case. The manufacturer's low income reflected in Sony's latest financial report with a 97% drop in cash payouts in comparison with the last year's performance - from ¥17.1 billion all the way down to a ¥0.6 billion.
Of course, this doesn't mean that Sony Ericsson's days are numbered, just makes you wonder how long Sony plans to tolerate those crappy balance sheets.
Check out the Sony Ericsson G502, the company's newly announced UIQ-based phone.
Don't expect anything special, though. According to some sources will be released on the 24th and will sport a QVGA display, 2Mpix camera, HSDPA support, Memory Stick M2-expandable storage, and the NetFront browser.
Here are some pictures of the new Sony Ericsson P3i smartphone, which is apparently the successor of the recently released P1i.
There is almost no info on P3i's specs and don't expect it to be launched anytime soon. Some of the features include a touch-screen display, support for 3G and Wi-Fi networks, and a 3Mpix camera.
