Sony Ericsson Delays Camera Phone Again
Nothing seems to go right for Sony Ericsson. While there's still talk going around that the joint venture is going to be dissolved, it can't help matters that they're pushing back, yet again, the date to launch their high-end P800 camera phone. The only places where it will launch before Christmas are Sweden, the United Arab Emirates and Greece. Other places won't see the phone until January (at the earliest), meaning that they'll miss out on the big buying season - which can't be good for business. You would think, between the two parent companies involved, that they would know something about getting things to market on time. Meanwhile, holiday phone sales that would have gone to Sony Ericsson will now go to places like Nokia, Motorola, Samsung and Siemens.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
