Lawrence Lee, president for Taiwan and Hong Kong at O2 Asia Pacific, said it will roll out four new models in the second half of 2007 and the models will be supplied by three makers. However, he declined to reveal the names of the partners."</i><br /><br />Ah, new toys from O2. The company plans to release three 3.5G and one 2.5G Windows Mobile 6-based handsets within the next half year, with half of the lot sporting integrated GPS chipsets. Of course, details are sketchy, but that's to be expected. ;)
