Originally, the company named Ericsson only. However, after a merger with Sony, the company changed its name to Sony Ericsson. The corporate headquarters which is formerly located in Sweden have been moved to Hammersmith, London, England. This merger of two great companies can be considered as successful company unification. Now, the company is the sixth largest mobile phone manufacturer in the world after Nokia, Samsung, LG, Research in Motion (RIM), and Apple.
The basic mobile phone communication network of Sony Ericsson is GSM (2G) W-CDMA/UMTS (3G). Meanwhile, for the data communications network, it is based on the EDGE (2.5G) and HSDPA & HSUPA (3.5G) networks. In addition to producing mobile phones for the international market, Sony Ericsson also manufactures mobile phones specifically for the Japanese market. Japanese Sony Ericsson phones were using the network services of the Japanese mobile [operator](http://www.plimbi.com/article/7354/cara-setting-internet-samsung-champ "Tips Cara Setting Internet Samsung Champ untuk Beberapa Operator") namely NTT DoCoMo and SoftBank Mobile.
