HTC’s brand name has been pretty prominent in the headlines as of late. With the launch of the new Windows Phone 7 by Microsoft and all the announcements of new devices supporting the new mobile platform, it is surprising that HTC is still managing to take away some of that spotlight.
Perhaps it is the fact that the Taiwan based phone maker probably has one of the largest lineups of WP7 devices in the first place. With the HTC Mozart, HTC HD7, HTC 7 Surround, HTC 7 Pro and the HTC 7 Trophy under its brand, the phone maker certainly is providing the WP7 market with plenty of choices to choose from.
Just how good are these phones? Just recently, two devices have already been snapped up by local network operators. O2 has confirmed that they will be offering the HD7 while Orange UK will be getting the HTC Mozart.
Aside from having plenty of involvement with the Windows Phone 7 OS (HTC has a long history with Microsoft), the Taiwan based phone maker’s brand is also synonymous with the Android OS by Google. While the platform is in no way exclusive, many regard HTC as the industry partner for Google.
Speaking of the Android OS, it has been confirmed by HTC that the delayed rumors about the HTC Desire HD and Desire Z being delayed are not true. Both devices will be launching on time with Google’s approval of the phones. Google did confirm that all devices that run the Android go through a test but did not state if the HTC Desire handsets had any problems.
Lastly, in recognition of HTC’s strong commitment to the mobile phone industry and the contributions they have made for pushing the limits of technology –tech magazine T3 has crowned HTC the brand of the year.
