Looks like theres a major change in the management of the Sony Ericsson team with the move of Jan Uddenfeldt from the position of Advisor to the CEO and Senior Vice-President to the position of Chief Technology Officer. For the majority of you who dont quite know what a CTO is, heres a quote from wikipedia-
A Chief Technical Officer or more commonly Chief Technology Officer (abbreviated as CTO), is an executive-level position in a company or other entity whose occupant is focused on scientific and technological issues within an organization. It typically involves overseeing Research and Development (R&D) activities, and formulating long-term visions and strategies at the officer level. Essentially, a CTO is responsible for the transformation of capital – be it monetary, intellectual, or political – into technology in furtherance of the company’s objectives. They must typically combine a strong technical or scientific background with business development skills.

Bert Nortberg (President of Sony Ericsson) also commented on this announcement saying-
“I am very pleased today to announce the appointment of Jan Uddenfeldt to our management team as our new CTO and Head of Sony Ericsson Silicon Valley. Jan is deeply rooted in the telecommunications industry, and he will bring a wealth of experience and insight to Sony Ericsson. Over the years he has gained a deep understanding of our industry’s leading technologies, as well as our key operator customers around the world.”

eh lol he just got the job yesterday? or did I read it too fast
He gave a speech on 4G networks recently. A 4G phone coming soon then? Too early to say ….
I’m expecting phones to be better than its rivals. Ya know, SE is going down because it is still in retro mode. I hope this time it will be better.
I’m sick and tired of the same ol’ way that SE has been releasing its phones for the past few years. Maybe now SE is waking up from a dream.
Love the company but don’t like the phones due to rival’s phones are faring better.
SE, we want you back in business!

Today was leaked the new Android-based device from Sony Ericsson which has codename Shakira. Shakira is from Xperia series. Supposely it can get model name X10 mid or something like that, because it has bigger screen and size than X10 mini, but smaller screen and size than original X10. Yet there is no much information about this device. Launch date of Shakira will be this fall.
