The group hoped the appointment of Lan Ye would lead the flagging cell phone department to make a turnaround.

Lenovo Mobile is securing a listing. In a bid to further stabilize its management team, Lenovo Mobile is also considering kicking off new stock incentive plans.

At the end of 2007, Lenovo Mobile ceded its dominant position in the cell phone market among all local brands. With participation of the new management, the situation was turning for the better. For this year, Lenovo Mobile has set a goal of selling 8 million handsets.

Its Failsafe feature ensures a successful firmware update, even if the phone loses power during the update process. vDirect Mobile is a device management client that provides provisioning, configuration, device information retrieval and security. It is an independent DM client that breaks the dependency of closed DM systems. Red Bend's vCurrent Mobile and vDirect Mobile support Open Mobile Alliance (OMA) Device Management (DM) standards and are interoperable with OMA DM-compliant servers.

"Mobile handsets manufacturers in China and around the world have come to trust Red Bend as the expert in mobile software management because of our superior performance, reliability and exceptional support," continued Wang.
