A source with knowledge of the situation has revealed that China Mobile's (NYSE: CHL; 0941.HK) customized TD-SCDMA handsets will soon hit the market, predicting that sales of the handsets will reach 200 mln units this year.
China Mobile vice president, Lu Xiangdong, said the handsets will gradually be released to the market between the end of May and beginning of June, and also that China Mobile would speak to distributors on behalf of the vendors regarding distribution and guaranteed sales, and would also provide relatively large subsidies for the handsets. Lu did not disclose sales volume targets for the handsets.
Editor's Note: It was previously rumored that China Mobile had selected four handsets for customization: one model apiece from LG and ZTE (0763.HK; 000063.SZ), and two from Yulong.
