Handset shipments from Taiwan-based manufacturers dropped 30.2% to 24.56 million units in the first quarter of 2007 as the impact of the bankruptcy of BenQ Mobile continued to be felt. Motorola, a chief client for Taiwan-based ODM/OEM handset makers, had an unsatisfactory first quarter and started adjusting its product mix, resulting in decreased orders for the manufacturers.
