Sony Ericsson Planning Windows Mobile Device?


		September 21, 2007 - According to a report from the Chinese print publication Commercial Times, Sony Ericsson has commissioned HTC to manufacture a handset to be powered by Windows Mobile. The upcoming smartphone would be available for purchase sometime in late 2008. There is no further information on the device as of yet, including whether or not it will feature a touchscreen. If true, this report indicates a significant departure for Sony Ericsson, as the company has offered only





Symbian-powered handsets to date. The move toward Windows Mobile is one likely designed to expand Sony Ericsson's appeal in the mobile market rather than a signal that company is moving away from the Symbian OS. "Volume shipments of the smartphone - Sony Ericsson's first Windows Mobile-based smartphone and HTC's first ODM orders from a first-tier handset vendor - are expected to top over one million units and to account for 10-20% of HTC's total shipments projected for 2008," said the Commercial Times. - Pocket PC Central Press
