Insolvency proceedings were opened in Germany on Monday, after administrators were unable to find any investors willing to buy the struggling company. BenQ Mobile filed for insolvency in September 2006, when Taiwanese hardware manufacturer BenQ said it was pulling out after suffering "unsustainable losses." BenQ Mobile was created less than two years ago, when BenQ bought German-based Siemens' mobile arm. At the time, Siemens effectively paid BenQ $97.5 million to take the business off its hands. BenQ had hoped to develop a line of mobile handsets that would rival those of major players such as Nokia, but its market share has declined."</i><br /><br />Benq never managed to get a Windows Mobile Smartphone released, but I had high hopes that they would eventually get one to market. I guess there's not much hope of that now, eh? It's sad to see a manufacturer with such potential fall. :?
