Motorola disappointed with Taiwan manufacturers of Microsoft powered phones and intends to dump them
January 21, 2005 [General]
This may come as a shock, but apparently Motorola is very angry at Taiwan's manufacturers of their Windows Mobile phones: Compal Communications (that was supposed to manufacture MPx100 but was dumped already before), Chi Mei Communications (i.e. CMCS, they produced simple MPx200 that didn't have camera and Bluetooth and now they produce MPx220 that has camera and Bluetooth but camera is of very poor quality and this phone has a lot of issues and problems) and Compal Electronics (that was supposed to produce Motorola MPx but this phone never reached EU or USA and is very slow and with little memory and also with issues).
Motorola decided to dump Taiwanese manufacturers and decided to produce Windows Mobile powered phones in its own factories instead! Could be that Taiwanese manufacturers has been made a scapegoat for Motorola's failures, but ... equally well it could be indeed, that these Taiwanese manufacturers are at fault!
