Larry,
First, let me commend you for bringing to light the kind of business
practices that are probably not all that unusual for a market such as cell phones.
Cell phones are practically given to you, as long as you sign-up for the service.
It's almost like printers, you can buy a printer for next to nothing, but the
first time you buy the ink cartridges, you probably pay more for a black
cartridge and color cartridge, than you did for the printer.
Sad part about this is, the normal consumer doesn't know anything about this,
and even if they did, would they really care? Maybe, maybe not. Just taking a
wild guess, most would go for cheaper, no matter what...sad but true. Look at
all the child labor stuff with Nike, and other big name companies...
I wish I knew what the magic bullet was to deal with this stuff, but I
don't...

TECHNET COMMUNITY,
WE RECEIVED SOLICITATION FROM A FIRM(?) WANTING "ANY KIND" CELL PHONE BOARDS.
AFTER REQUESTING MORE INFORMATION AS TO LAYER COUNT, ETC. THEY REPLIED
CONFIRMING THE SUSPICIONS I VOICED TO OUR SALES MANAGER. THEY WANTED BOARDS OF OTHER
COMPANIES FOR THEIR OWN USE!
I WAS ADVISED NOT TO REPLY FURTHER, AND PASS THIS ON TO WARN OTHERS, SOME
DIRTY BUSINESS MAY BE BEING TRIED OPENLY.
CORRESPONDENCE TO DATE AS FOLLOWS;

Dear Manager Alnoor,
Please give us more specifics regarding the type cell phone boards you
require. We manufacture hundreds of models, mostly 6 layer and 4 layer. The size is
important in pricing, as well as any special requirements such as laser
drilling for high density.
There is a tooling cost for any new design which is not dependent on
quantity, and price reductions for quantities in a shipping lot, as well as total
quatitiy.
Number of drill holes, type of finish required, minimum size of circuits and
spaces and copper thickness as well as overall board thickness are needed for
exact pricing. There is no minimum, but prices are very quantity dependent
under a few thousand pieces.
From the engineering manager Ned King, here are some rough prices by square
inch;
The rough cost is
6 Layers , 1 stage STAGGER VIA , 20~25￠/ sq.inch FOB Taiwan.
6 Layers , SKIP VIA, 25~30￠/ sq.inch FOB Taiwan.
8 Layers , 1 stage STAGGER VIA , 25~30￠/ sq.inch FOB Taiwan.
8 Layers , SKIP VIA, 35~40￠/ sq.inch FOB Taiwan.
We look forward to hearing more from you and building a working relationship
with you.
Best Regards,
Larry Russell
