LGE switches handset order from FIH/Indigo to Arima
LG Electronics (LGE) has recently switched a dual-SIM handset order that was originally subcontracted to Foxconn International Holdings (FIH) and Taiwan-based Indigo Mobile Technologies for joint development, to Arima Communications because the FIH/Indigo team has decided to suspend development project, according to industry sources.
Indigo is a wireless device design service provider jointly set up by Foxconn Electronics (Hon Hai Precision Industries) and MediaTek and develops handsets based on MediaTek's platforms.
The suspension of the FIH/Indigo joint effort on the dual-SIM handset actually offers an opportunity for Arima to take up all LGE's ODM handset orders for 2009, said the sources, noting that Arima may produce up to 7-8 million handsets across 13-15 models for LGE in 2009.
The FIH/Indigo team was originally scheduled to ship the dual-SIM handset at the end of the year, the sources noted.
