Sony Ericsson to cut handset range in 2009




Sony Ericsson recorded its first quarterly net loss in more than five years yesterday, as the world's fifth largest mobile phone manufacturer was hurt by consumers buying fewer handsets.

Dick Komiyama, Sony Ericsson's president, announced plans to cut the company's handset range by 20 per cent to raise profitability. He said the company was consolidating three handset development divisions into one to reduce duplication and improve efficiency. He also said "Consumer confidence is less almost day by day." We totally agree with that!
