Two new colours for gaming slider F305
April 29, 2009 by Max
Sony Ericsson has presented two new colours for the low-end gaming phone F305. They are: Raspberry Red and Tectonic Grey.
Sony Ericsso F305 is low-end slider, which has 2.0-Megapixel camera, 176×220 pixels TFT screen, stereospeakers and special gaming keys on the front. Phone also supports Memory Stick M2™ Micro™ cards and motion games.
In my opinion, the best new colour for Sony Ericsson F305 is Raspberry Red. In most coutries two new colours will be launched as special editions with strap in the box and special content in the phone (like pictures, ringtones, themes and preloaded games). Sony Ericsson is planing to release both new colours very soon.

Sony Ericsson reports first quarter results

Units shipped in the quarter were 14.5 million, a decrease of 35% compared to the same period of last year and in line with our March 20, 2009 interim announcement of approximately 14 million units. Sales for the quarter were Euro 1,736 million, a decrease of 36% from a year ago. Sales decreased primarily as a result of continued weak consumer confidence and de-stocking in the retail and distribution channels.
Gross margin declined both year-on-year and sequentially, reflecting a change in the product mix, end of life write-offs for certain models as well as exchange rate volatility.
Income before taxes for the quarter excluding restructuring charges was a loss of Euro 358 million, within the range announced on March 20, 2009 (loss of Euro 340 – 390 million).
“As expected, the first quarter of this year has been extremely challenging for Sony Ericsson due to continued weak global demand. We are aligning our business to the new market reality with the aim of bringing the company back to profitability as quickly as possible,” said Dick Komiyama, President, Sony Ericsson. “The management intends to pursue an additional cost saving program targeting a further annual operating expense reduction of Euro 400 million, to be completed by mid-2010.”
The company’s initial cost saving program targeting annual operating expense reductions of Euro 300 million by the end of the first half of 2009, including a workforce reduction of 2,000 headcount, has now been completed. A total of Euro 187 million restructuring charges have been recorded compared to the initial estimated costs of Euro 300 million.
In January 2009 an additional cost saving program was initiated to target annual operating expense reductions of Euro 180 million by the end of 2009. The cost of this program will be covered by the initial Euro 300 million restructuring costs announced in July 2008.
The additional cost saving program announced today will include a further reduction in the global workforce of approximately 2,000 people. It is estimated that new restructuring charges of Euro 200 million will be needed to complete this program.
As of March 31, 2009, Sony Ericsson retained a strong net cash position of Euro 1.1 billion.
Market share in the first quarter decreased and is now estimated to be around 6%, down two percentage points sequentially.
Sony Ericsson forecasts that the global handset market for 2009 will contract at least 10% from around 1,190 million units in 2008.
At Mobile World Congress in February 2009, Sony Ericsson announced a new consumer proposition, called ‘Entertainment Unlimited’ (EU), to build on Sony Ericsson’s leadership in music, imaging, gaming, content services, and applications to deliver unlimited opportunities for consumers. The company also announced the first Entertainment Unlimited phone with the concept name ‘Idou’ to be launched in the second half of 2009. The next EU announcement will take place on 28 May.
