Taiwan market: HTC smartphone sales growing over 100% in 1Q11
Daniel Shen, Taipei; Steve Shen, DIGITIMES [Thursday 3 March 2011]

Thanks to cooperation with Chunghwa Telecom (CHT), sales of HTC's smartphones in the Taiwan market have increased over 100% on year so far in 201, and the company's monthly sales are likely to surpass those of Nokia in the first half making HTC the top handset vendor in the local market in terms of sales volume and value, according to Jack Tong, vice president of Asia Pacific at HTC.

HTC's handset sales in the local market in the first quarter of 2011 have reached half of the total handsets shipped in 2010, Tong added, noting that sales in the entire Asia Pacific region have also increased at a similar pace.

HTC outperformed all other brand-name vendors to take up the number one ranking in the local market in terms of sales value in December 2010, and now aims to overtake Nokia as the top ranking vendor in terms of sales volume in the first half of 2011, Tong stated.
