HTC Launches New Smart Devices in Middle East

The HTC P4350, the HTC P3600, and the HTC S620 will be introduced by HTC at the Gulf Information Technology Exhibition (GITEX), which will be held from November 18 to November 22, 2006, in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.

Peter Chou, CEO of HTC said: “We have a rich heritage of innovation and aim for our products to continue being the devices of choice on the Microsoft® Windows Mobile® platform.”

“We are very excited with the prospect of introducing our original, innovative, and desirable smart mobility range into the Middle East,” said Florian Seiche, vice president of HTC Europe and the Middle East. “With its strength as a vibrant, fast growing business hub for this region, Dubai presents an ideal opportunity for both the business world and consumers to benefit from our product range,” Seiche added.

“It's great to see HTC expanding into the Middle East and adding to their impressive record of growth on the Windows Mobile platform,” said Marianne Roling, EMEA Director, Mobile & Embedded Devices Division, Microsoft Corp. "We're bringing to market a portfolio of phones that is impressive as much for its hardware innovation as for its wide range of features and functionality -- from business-friendly PDAs for heavy email users to more compact multimedia smartphones for first-time users. We recognise that this choice is critical for our customers as the market grows and smartphones become more important for both
work and play." Read full press release here.

Isn't it about time. I just hope their pricing strategy isn't like i-mate and i hope they sell devices at the same prices as in the US (which IMO is the cheapest of all).

Docc.

Yep...I'm waiting to see the one for Cingular here in the states.

I just went to the local Cingular Store and they had the 8525 for sale for $399 on a 2 year contract. $650 flat out without any contract!

Brand new HTC TyTn's are available for $700, so its better to get an OEM product rather than a Cingular product!

Docc.

Yep...I just saw that also.....Im checking with a distributor or mine to see what the price is on them

hi mates,

Any news when is it ready for sale in dubai?

..I like P3600, sometime back i was looking for a device with 3G but without the qwerty keyboard as it will be sleek, O2 XDA atom range was sleek but was lacking the 3G and now I feel this one has filled in the gap, but still wondering what will the processor in it as the product sheet from HTC website has no mention of it.
