  About HTC

  HTC is one of the world’s most successful smartphone manufacturers, and is one of the fastest growing mobile companies in recent years. Its devices are among the most powerful on the market, offering easy to use solutions that embrace the full range of mobile multimedia resources, wireless connections and 3G internet.

  Over the years, HTC mobile phones have garnered plaudits from far and wide for providing users with the ability to ‘work on the move’. This was facilitated by the phones’ compatibility with the Windows Mobile operating system, allowing users to edit and view documents created in key Microsoft applications such as Word, Excel and Powerpoint. Just as usefully, the phones support Outlook Mobile, to give users a huge array of e-mail functions.

  The appeal of HTC phones has broadened beyond the business market, especially with its popular Android phones in the Desire range, which use Google's flagship operating system. The company’s handsets have also attracted admirers for the great internet connectivity and multi-media features they offer, which are brought to life on HTC mobile phones’ characteristically large and colourful screens. To this end, the phones have included everything from high-grade cameras to excellent media players.

• Company History

  History

  HTC was founded in 1997 in Taiwan as an outsourcing company and original design manufacturer. However, it has since moved into manufacturing its own range of powerful mobile phones, with sales growth burgeoning following its partnership deal with Microsoft to develop Windows Mobile.

  In its short history, the company has introduced a range of innovations to the market including the first intuitive touch screen to allow fingertip navigation, as well as the first ever Microsoft Smart Music Phone. It was also responsible in October 2008 for the release of the first smartphone to employ Google’s Android software and has, arguably, been the platform's key supporter among phone makers since.
