Vodafone + China-based Amoi Electronics for Windows Mobile Smartphones. According to sources in Taiwan's handset industry, China-based Amoi Electronics has landed orders to make Windows Mobile smartphones for Vodafone. The move will make the Chinese company the third supplier of Windows Mobile-based mobile devices for the UK-based telecom giant, which at the moment purchases such devices from HTC and Asustek.

Amoi is expected to start shipping the smartphone, codenamed Amoi 6711, to Vodafone in Q3 2008. Currently, the same device is offered by other two operators, Orange and AT&T, which are rebranding it as the SPV E610 and SMT5700.
