Sony Ericsson might end its partnership with DoCoMo

Recently there has been some discussion about Sony Ericsson's and DoCoMo's partnership. According to Nikkei business daily, Sony Ericsson said on Monday that they will stop mobile phone development and production for DoCoMo, and that it would instead procure handsets from other mobile phone makers and supply them to DoCoMo under the Sony Ericsson brand.

Although, Sony Ericsson spokesman Toshiyuki Kawamura rushed to deny this rumor. He sai that the firm had no plans to terminate product development for DoCoMo phones and that it had no intention to buy phones from other Japanese cellphone makers on an original equipment manufacturing (OEM) basis for shipments to DoCoMo.

However, Kawamura admitted that Sony Ericsson is reviewing its product strategy for DoCoMo.

If we believe the Nikkei, Sony Ericsson will stop development and production for DoCoMo after supplying new models this summer.
