Ericsson has announced plans to acquire a China-based company but has not yet specified its target. Analysts see each of these companies as supplements to Ericsson's data-networking business in the country. While many consider Harbor Networks' data product as the better one, UTStarcom's complete marketing network would bring obvious advantages."</i><br /><br />My very first cell phone 12 or so years ago I think was an Ericsson.

and mine was Audiovox. :D

I thought Ericsson got out of the handset business because their handsets sucked? Isn't that how SE got started? :?
