By Andreas Stubbs

Sony Ericsson Smartphones are having an impact in the marketplace, with their fresh Smartphone devices like the Xperia X10 making an immediate hit on the market this has made it easier for an often forgotten manufacturer of smartphones to restore some market share and deliver a shock return to profitability.

Sony Ericsson has disclosed a surprise 18 million pre-tax profit for the initial quarter of this year after the good results of the fresh smartphones along with dropping restructuring expenditures.

The cell phone manufacturer, that is owned by Ericsson of Sweden and also Japan's Sony, was hit by 164 million of restructuring costs in 2009. The full 12 months pre-tax loss had been 1.043 billion.

Nevertheless, Bert Nordberg, the leader of Sony Ericsson stated recent expense lowering was beginning to develop a dent in the company's financial obligations.

Sony has said it's slimming its portfolio to focus on high end smartphones, such as the new Google android smartphone, that was released in November. Within the initial three months of 2010, sales fell by 19 per cent to 1.41 billion, after the company delivered twenty eight per cent fewer mobile phones than throughout the same period in 2009.

However, typical selling rates improved, increasing to 134 euros compared with 120 euros inside the 4th quarter of 2009.

Decreasing operating expenses also helped raise the organizations bottom line, falling from 599 million inside the final quarter of last year to 423 million.

Mr Nordberg, who joined up with the group in September in the middle of flagging sales, said the development of the Android-based Xperia X10 and the touch-screen Symbian mobile phone Vivaz helped to boost common selling rates.

Both products have been nicely received through worldwide buyers. Increases in both gross and working margins show that we tend to be on the correct track to build the proper cost structure for the company organisation and strategy.

The initial quarter earnings beat analysts' anticipations, which had forecast a considerable loss.
