HTC Benelux taps budding smartphone market

Since HTC launched mobile handsets under its own brand on the Benelux market, the company's performance has been quite good. HTC's 74% increase in the number of mobile devices sold in the first six months of this year is impressive. According to Mark Moons, the country manager for HTC Benelux, the Apple 3G iPhone will have only a limited impact on HTC sales, and the iPhone introduction will help to develop the smartphone segment in the Netherlands. This research brief is based in part on a Telecompaper interview with Mark Moons.
