HTC feels immune to iPhone’s price cut
Posted on: September 13, 2007
That’s according to HTC’s CFO Hui-ming Cheng: “The contract-bundled price of US$399 is still about US$100-200 higher than other smartphones available in the US market, and so it will not affect HTC's operations”
In the short-term, HTC phones are really popular with Windows Mobile users. HTC also manufactures phones for Palm and other known brands and carriers. Also, they are probably a lot easier to negotiate with (for wireless carriers) than Apple would be. However, they should be on the lookout because I doubt that the HTC Touch phone can really compete with the iPhone, except on pricing. HTC homepage

Hi Andi, it might not be "meant" to compete with the iPhone, but touch-screen lovers will have to make a choice. I personally love the HTC touch design, but windows mobile just isn't very good in touch mode :(

it isn't meant to compete with the iphone, it's a wholly different class... one is a fashion phone (not even a feature phone), and the other a smartphone
