BenQ to continue making Mobile Phones

May 2 2007, 7:00am CDT | by Luigi Lugmayr

Despite the BenQ/Siemens mobile phone debacle, BenQ is planning on staying in the mobile phone business.

In an report on the FT, BenQ Chairman Mr. Lee Kuen-yao says that the BenQ brand is being restarted and there will now probably be a delay of three to four years in achieving the jump in growth he had hoped to accomplish through the Siemens deal. “We are now taking a step back and facing reality,” he says. BenQ is planning to introduce a new Windows Smartphone dubbed P21 in Q3. Additionally it will offer customized handsets to carriers like HTC is very successfully doing.
