Sony Ericsson To Stop Production Of CDMA Phones For U.S.
Just as Nokia is finally making a push to get back into the CDMA handset market, Sony Ericsson has announced that they're getting out of the North American market for CDMA phones, and will concentrate on GSM phones instead. They will keep selling CDMA phones in Japan, though. It sounds like the reason for this is to help them focus in on one segment and try to finally reach some sustainable level of profitability.
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.
