BenQ sold more than 10,000 own-brand 3G handsets in Taiwan in September, bringing the company's total branded handset shipments for the month in Taiwan to over 33,000 units, the highest level for BenQ-branded handsets for nearly a year, according to Hank Hung, general manager of BenQ Taiwan.
Brisk sales of the company's E81 3G handsets helped push up the shipment volume, Hung noted.
For the first nine months of 2007, BenQ's handset shipments reached 70% of a target of 300,000 units for the year, Hung stated.
BenQ plans to launch one to two 3G or multimedia handsets by the end of this year in addition to the T51, T33 and E72 launched on October 1, Hung added.
BenQ also plans to introduce its first MID (mobile Internet device) product in Taiwan in 2008 and to distribute the device through notebook and handset channels as well as telecom carriers, Hung said.
