Taiwan's handset makers shipped 18.55 million units in the third quarter. The sequential growth was flat at only 3.5%, but compared to a year ago, shipments increased by 58.3%. The makers have seen two consecutive quarters of more than 50% in on-year shipment growth because of increased outsourcing from international vendors, particularly from Motorola, for low-cost models.
