Toshiba to cease cell phone business in Japan
Japan’s top chipmaker Toshiba will end production of mobile phones in the Rising Sun country due to economic slump — and outsource production to China, instead.
According to Wireless Week, Toshiba’s global shipments of mobile phones plunged to 3 million units in the last fiscal year from 6 million units the previous year, while most of its cell phones were sold in Japan.

Hi, nice to see you again

Yes, you’re right, there is no problem about sourcing in China. I just tried to emphasize that Toshiba’s cell phone is not stopped at all, but just in Japan.
Thanks.

Why the name of this phone like Toshiba Notebook series? is there Toshiba doesn’t have any good name?
