The world’s largest smartphone maker High Tech Computer (HTC) has launched Touch HD handset in Taiwan. The handset is somewhat similar to the Apple’s iPhone 3G and is considered as its competitor. HTC has partnered with Taiwan Mobile for the launch of the new handset. The retail price is not yet decided by Taiwan Mobile but HTC has suggested NT$25,900 (US$776). I think this price doesn’t suite specially in the financial situation. The timeframe of the device to be available in other regions is still not confirmed, but according to reports Touch HD will be available in Singapore soon. The new handset weighs 147 grams, has a 3.8″ touchscreen and measures 115 millimeters by 62.8mm by 12mm. Taiwan Mobile is committed to support the country’s economy.

According to Chief Operating Officer of Taiwan Mobile, Cliff Lai:

If we went with the iPhone, our money would go to America, But we’re not interested in boosting the American economy. We’re interested in boosting Taiwan’s economy.
