I am in the same boat, my cell is made by Lucky Goldstar (LG) a division of Hynix. After winning the AT and infringment trials to the tune of 8-10 billion, RMBS should build a fab. Best regards,
A couple notes, since you seem to be tracking the twists and turns of ownership for the purpose of assigning royalties.
LG phones are made by LG Telecom. They could be using Hyinx components since Hynix is essently the shotgun marriage of Hyundai Electronics and LG Semicon in the wake of the Asian Financal crisis in the late 90's. Perhaps it does not matter anyway since most of the essential chips are actualy made by licence from Qualcomm (CDMA Chipsets).
Hynix got out of phones a couple years ago as they were floundering. Their cell phone unit (called Curitel as I recall) was bought out by a Korean manufacturer Panatech.
Lastly, a point of triva. Last year the "Goldstar" component of LG was actual split off. The, perhaps approperatly, choose to rename themselves GS. LG remains LG however.
