HTC will bring its Magic smartphone to
China Mobile phone with some modifications to its user interface, HTC CEO Peter
Chou told The Wall Street Journal . China Mobile's Android-based handsets will be dubbed "OPhones" and will directly compete with Apple's iPhone, which is expected to be offered by China Unicom by
the end of the year.
The Magic shares many of the characteristics of the G1, but it ditches the full QWERTY keyboard for a stronger emphasis on touch. The handset will likely run Android 1.5 with some modifications
that are unique to
China hiphone . The handset also has the specifications one expects from a high-end smartphone,
including Wi-Fi, 3G, GPS, Bluetooth, and multimedia functionality.
The move is another sign of the increasing importance of China in the mobile industry because of its number of potential customers. For example, China Mobile
iphone clone is already the world's largest
Watch cell phone operator with more than 500 million subscribers, and there's still
plenty of room for growth in the country. The majority of Chinese customers use entry-level devices that are only capable of making calls and sending texts, but these subscribers are quickly
upgrading to sophisticated handsets that can access the mobile Web, send e-mail on the go,
china cell phones and
play multimedia files.
