While the future of BenQ Mobile hangs in the balance, the future of its handsets is now secure: BenQ and Siemens have secured a warranty deal to protect phones made by their now defunct joint venture.
The pair have signed up B2X Care Solutions to service phones bearing the Siemens or BenQ-Siemens marque, as of this month.
B2X will now look after warranties in Europe, Latin America and Russia, while BenQ will look after Asian users.
BenQ-Siemens, which started life in 2005 and went into insolvency early this year, has yet to find a buyer for its assets, despite a number of reportedly interested parties.
The future of employees at the former phone maker also remains undecided. According to Siemens, a €10m fund has been set up for ex-BenQ Mobile workers and 150 employees of the venture have been offered jobs at the German parent company.
