One of Research In Motion's BlackBerry suppliers, Celestica, said Monday that it will "wind down its manufacturing services for Research In Motion" during the next three to six months. Celestica said the move is part of its own restructuring, which it says will not exceed $35 million. The company will share more information about its decision during a conference call on July 27. Celestica's move could hurt RIM as it tries to get its latest BlackBerry 10 smartphones out the door and as it continues to compete against other companies in emerging markets with its current BlackBerry 7 operating system.
