According to DIGITIMES, O2 will be re-aligning their ODM partners and preparing to release 4 new devices for the next half of 2007 in Asia and Middle East markets. Apparently, Asustek will no longer be one of their handset suppliers and Gigabyte will account for the largest proportion of the orders.

Out of the four devices, there will be three devices featuring HSDPA. There will also be either one or two devices among the four to come with built-in GPS receiver. Just in case you are unaware, the recently released Xda Flame is manufactured by Arima Communications rather than Asustek as many would have thought.
