TheRegister is amongst the first to report that Siemens and BenQ (or “The Company Formerly Known As Acer”) plan to launch a phone spin-off. There is some official word coming in from Siemens now, but for us Americans the entire deal will remain transparent. Siemens never really had much presence in the States and, according to Siemens’ release, BenQ will be able to use the Siemens brand name anyway.
