Motorola to restart cooperation with Taiwan smartphone makers
Motorola has recently made frequent contact with Taiwan handset makers and expects to restart cooperation over smartphones, according to sources at Taiwan handset makers. The makers contacted include Compal Communication, Chi Mei Communication Systems (CMCS) and Arima Communications, while the earliest shipments are expected to be out in the second quarter of next year, the sources added.
Motorola is planning to outsource Windows Mobile platform 3.5G handsets to Taiwan makers, aiming to reduce retail pricing to under US$350.
Motorola has reconstructed its smartphone department, and the Moto Q series will still be developed and manufactured by an internal research team. However, the company will add OEM partners by the beginning of 2008 to cover the gaps in its handset product line.
If Taiwan handset makers can get into Motorola's supply chain, there would be an obvious growth in shipments, noted the sources.
