China-based handset maker BYD Electronics began to ship CDMA handsets, made using chipsets from VIA Telecom, to Nokia in the middle of this year, making VIA Telecom a member company of the supply chain of the world's largest branded handset vendor, according to a Chinese-language Commercial Times report.

In addition to BYD, VIA Telecom will also increase its shipments of CDMA chipsets to Dopod International, which is expected to triple its sales of CDMA handsets in China to 2.1 million units in 2008 from a year earlier, the paper noted.
