Mobile vendor strategies - 21st May 2005

RIM succeeds in another account. TDC (Denmark) will introduce the BlackBerry to Danish mobile professionals.

ZTE and Andrews will manufacture parts for TD-SCDMA.

Ericsson and ZTE are teaming to bring TD-SCDMA to the Chinese market. In addition, Ericsson has decided to open a research and development center in Nanjing to focus on TD-SCDMA.

TAMP (TCL Alcatel Mobile Phone) is sick (a loss of $33m in 4 months) and its parents (TCL and Alcatel) would conduct negotiations on helping it going out of the red. Alcatel has decided to sell its shares to TCL at a discount, but it is just a part of the negotiations.
