^^ Viewsonic is making the whole phone but not only the screen :p

Sure they will use parts from other manufacturers but all phone companies do that as nokia uses ARM cpu but the phone is called a nokia pone regardless of waht kind of components lay inside so it will be viewsonic phone :p

ClonedInChina is reporting that the renowned LCD monitor manufacturer is coming out with a new handset that runs on Windows XP. Called the VCP08, the device will be powered by an Intel ULV processor, have 8GB of memory, 512MB RAM, 4.3-inch touchscreen, full QWERTY keyboard and a 2-megapixel camera. The flip phone will have a smaller 2-inch display on the top, complete with a numeric keypad for normal phone operations.

ClonedInChina is quoting the price of the phone at $800 (Rs. 37,000 approx).
