Speaking regarding the rather chaotic (volcano-enhanced) STOCK CRISIS that rather ruined the launch of the HTC Desire across Europe, HTC’s UK exec director Jon French said the company is investing in its production line to ensure such crazed shortages never happen again.
Here’s what French told Mobile Magazine:
“We are catching up. We are still in a position where the demand keeps growing and like any good manufacturer, it takes time to build up capacity just to meet demand so we are doing that now by very heavily investing in new production capacity and we will catch up very, very soon”
Mr French also firmly denied the old rumour about stock supplies being purposefully limited in order to create a false impression of demand. Anyone who tried to buy an HTC Desire in April/May will know both the stock shortages and demand for the Android phone were very, very real.
Motorola’s latest flagship dual-core Android monster is a massive, original powerhouse, that’s a big improvement on previous MOTOBLUR mobiles – but still isn’t a total winner.
A slim and glamorous phone from Sony Ericsson, with the sharpest display around. It’s no powerhouse and the screen’s not the biggest out there, but we don’t mind. Because it’s cute.
LG’s first glasses-free 3D phone is a heavy, fat monster, with a clever 3D effect that works rather well. As a smartphone, though, it’s heavy and underwhelming.
A very shiny thing from Sony Ericsson, with a 3.7″ screen and Android 2.3.3 inside. But is it exciting enough to win fans in today’s spec-obsessed market? Can man live on one core alone?
INQ’s Android phone is an interesting “boutique” piece of hardware, packed with unique interface customisations that go far beyond the headline Facebook integration. We like it a lot.
