Sony Ericsson was widely expected to post a reasonably strong showing for Q2, but dashing the expectations of analysts the company’s latest earnings report shows a 50 million euro loss. That loss was followed up by a dip in the number of handsets sold, just 7.6 million, which is a 31% fall from last year. As you would expect from those figures revenue also took a tumble, declining from 1.76 billion euros last year to 1.19 billion euros this year.

With a range of new handsets, chief amongst them the Xperia play and the Xperia arc, and a massive cost cutting campaign the obvious question would be why the loss? Well Sony Ericsson’s president. Bert Nordberg, is putting the blame on the Japanese earthquake, saying that it disrupted Sony Ericsson’s supply chain. It’s a fair comment, after all the earthquake and tsunami did have a huge impact upon the electronics industry and apparently, in Sony Ericsson’s case, resulted in the loss of 1.5 million handsets.

My first impression was that the handset looks very appealing, aesthetically, when you see it in the flesh. It looks like a slate, the bezeling, the contours, just everything really, combines to make it look sleek and beautiful. Some have said that when you hold it in the hand it feels too thin, but I disagree, it felt just right.

It felt pretty well put together and the sense I got from holding it was that I had a nice bit of kit in my hand. There was a certain impression of quality to it and it reminded me of the first time I picked up an iPhone, there was a little spark of excitement. That’s not a feeling I’ve had too often with Sony Ericsson products over the last couple of years so it was most definitely a good sign.

One rather annoying aspect of the design is that the headphone jack is at the top left hand side instead of being on the top of the handset. This is a pet peeve of mine because I find it very annoying when you have the handset in your pocket with headphones plugged in. It’s a minor gripe to be sure, but sometimes it’s the small things that can annoy you most.
