Another 3G RAZR knockoff....this time from BenQ-Siemens. They are predicting 1/3 of their handset launches this year will be UMTS and that they will ship 50-60 million total handsets.

Qualcomm really needs some of their customers to create some new 3G form factors. They are all competing with each other for the thin-clamshell segment.
