I have no idea why Palm decided to pull the Pre off Compal’s production lines – they probably still haven’t forgiven them their Roteo leak. The usually well-informed DigiTimes reports the following:
…
Taiwan-based Chi Mei Communication Systems will undertake OEM production of the Palm Pre, Palm’s next-generation smartphone that will be launched soon. Chi Mei is likely to source handset FPCBs from fellow suppliers, including Career Technology, Ichia Technologies and Flexium Interconnect, with shipments expected to begin in March at the earliest, indicated the sources.
…
I personally have had good experiences with Chi Mei so far: while the manufacturer’s retail presence in Austria was less than stellar, their products nevertheless are pretty impressive and also very affordable…
