Posted by searchaphone 14 May,2009

Further evidence of the worldwide recession is showing no signs of receding comes with the announcement of a further 2000 job losses from market leading mobile phone manufacturer Sony Ericsson. The massive cull is necessary in order to ride out the financial problems at the moment, as Sony Ericsson are reporting a loss of €358 million in the first quarter of 2009.

Sony Ericsson shed 2000 jobs last year, and many are surprised that the same amount will have to go this time; it is no surprise to industry analysts, however, as job losses in the technology mobile phone market are inevitable in the face of falling sales as consumers tighten their belts.

Motorola Books Beckham for High End Marketing

Posted by searchaphone 14 May,2009

The mobile phone market is suffering somewhat from the current worldwide recession, as are most consumer areas across the world; many manufacturers of handsets are being forced to revise their marketing strategies and also to amend their key products in light of what is and what is not selling.
