Sony Ericsson today said it had swung to a profit even as its market share continued to drop. The company shipped just 10.4 million phones, a drop from 14.1 million a year earlier, but posted a profit of about $69 million where it had lost $231 million 12 months ago. It came as Sony Ericsson revealed that more than half of its phone sales were of smartphones like the Xperia X10.
