We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Mobile phone handsets",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Electronicstalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Handheld connector combines SIM and microSD cards from
JAE Europe, which we summarised at the time by saying "The ST5 series connector stacks the SIM card and the push/push microSD card vertically to reduce board-space requirements in mobile phone handsets".
Several months prior to that,
we featured the news release Middleware supports WMA 10 Professional M0 profile from
Renesas Technology Europe: "Decode middleware aids the development of applications for mobile phone handsets employing the SH-Mobile application processor".
In April 2007, we covered the news from Sasken Communication Technologies
- take a look at Framework helps develop mobile phone handsets
which says: "Lenovo Mobile has chosen the Sasken Communication Technologies' Application Framework as its application system of choice for development of feature phones".
Take a look also at the news release from RadioScape, Analog Blackfin to host mobile TV,
as well as Bluetooth chip for multimedia handsets from Broadcom Corp,
and Mobile multimedia technologies on show at 3GSM from Imagination Technologies.
