"For me, we've always been a believer that Sony Ericsson has done a lot in the past and had a good portfolio. But they've got settled in a comfort zone; they do music and digital imaging very well, but these are now a given for consumers. People are looking for something else now, and that's GPS and browsing and Internet services. Sony Ericsson is going there with the X1 [due in the fourth quarter] but that's just one product."
