Asustek Computer is expected to begin volume production of the v1520 smartphone for Vodafone this month, according to sources in the Taiwan handset industry.
The Windows Mobile-based smartphone will run on a Marvel PXA 270 platform and it supports GPS, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, a 3.5-inch display and a 2-megapixel built-in camera, the sources revealed.
The production of the v1520 is an extension of the collaboration of the two companies that began at the end of 2006 when Asustek landed v1210 smartphone orders from Vodafone, the sources indicated.
Vodafone currently also outsources the production of its branded smartphones to High Tech Computer (HTC) and China-based Huawei Technologies, noted the sources.
