The K800i received its first ever mixed test results by German "Connect", under performing in UMTS mode the testers claimed while comparing to Nokia N93, which won the test. I sent the test results to a Swedish buddy, who actually works at SE and does the field pre testing for them 6-9 months ahead of the release. Stay tuned for his comments... Now back to ERIC, I believe we are on a slow ramp which this time should take us back to 38-39 by end of the year. Taro

Ericsson's Net Profit Rises 17% On Growth at Mobile-Phone Venture By MAGNUS HANSSON October 19, 2006 2:15 a.m. STOCKHOLM -- Telefon AB LM Ericsson Thursday posted a 17% rise in net profit during the third quarter as contributions from 50%-owned mobile-phone maker Sony Ericsson boosted results. It said it sees moderate growth in its main mobile infrastructure markets for 2007. Ericsson, which provides telecommunications-infrastructure equipment and related services, said net profit in the quarter rose to 6.23 billion Swedish kronor ($844.1 million) from 5.31 billion kronor a year earlier. Revenue rose 12% to 40.8 billion kronor from 36.2 billion kronor thanks in part to the inclusion of the recently acquired Marconi. Ericsson's closely watched operating margin fell slightly to 21.5% from 21.6% despite the two billion kronor in operating profit contribution from Sony Ericsson, a joint venture of Sony Corp. and Ericsson; because of lower margins at Marconi; and some large services contracts signed with Hong Kong conglomerate Hutchison Whampoa Ltd in 2005. Ericsson said it expects the market for mobile-telecommunications infrastructure using the Global System for Mobile communications, or GSM, and Wideband Code Division Multiple Access, or WCDMA, standards to grow moderately in 2007. The company projects its addressable market for professional services in the telecom sector to show good growth in 2007.
