According to Chosun Ilbo, the company, which started making handsets only in 2002, but recently had a big design hit with the Helio Kickflip, got squeezed between Nokia and Motorola, and took a hit when Vodafone stopped carrying their gear.

The company is probably most recently remembered by mobile analysts for sending topless booth bunnies around CeBIT, a move for which it got more stick than it probably expected.
