BenQ Mobile (Germany), formerly Siemens mobile, went bancrupt last year. (Completely in February 2007.)
Benq bought the Siemens mobile phone division in 2005, but the board at BenQ decided to stop bankrolling the business in September 2006, after the company failed to turn the tide against fierce competition from Nokia and a resurgent Motorola, and from cheaper white label handets from the Far East.
