Dopod China reportedly to introduce low cost CDMA handsets in China
Dopod China, which has a strong connection with High Tech Computer (HTC), will soon begin to introduce low cost CDMA handsets in China in cooperation with China-based telecom service provider China Unicom, according to market sources and media reports in China.
Dopod will market its CDMA handsets under a new brand name, Vivie, which will be built by a China-based contract maker, using CDMA chipsets from VIA Telecom, an affiliate of VIA Technologies, said the sources, noting that the CDMA handset will not be powered by Windows Mobile OS (operating system).
Previously, Dopod focused on marketing Windows Mobile-based PDA handsets and smartphones manufactured by HTC, using chipset solutions mostly from Qualcomm.
The introduction of VIA Telecom-based CDMA handsets signals a further integration of the VIA Technologies Group, the sources indicated.
In other news, market sources estimated that the size of the CDMA handset market in China is expected to reach 10 million units in 2007, with leading vendors including Samsung Electronics, LG Electronics, Motorola, Huawei Technologies and ZTE.
