ZDNet reports: “Swedish telecoms equipment group Ericsson said on Friday
it was pulling out of making its own mobile phones and shedding thousands
of jobs in the handset business after reporting a worse than expected
fourth-quarter operating loss of $155 million.” The company plans to outsource mobile phone production to Flextronics International, Inc., the world’s third largest electronics manufacturer.
