US Cellular turned down Apple iPhone

November 5th, 2011 lana.moore

The Associated Press released a story stating U.S. Cellular, the nation’s sixth (6th) largest cellular company, turned down selling the Apple iPhone because of the high price. Over at Yahoo! News, CEO of U.S. Cellular, Mary Dillon, is quoted, “‘the terms were unacceptable from a risk and profitability standpoint.’”

Consumers pay $200 for the base model of the iPhone 4S, but Apple charges carriers $600 for the phone. Sprint just started selling the iPhone and stated it would take two years to recover. Carriers count on making their money back over the life of the contract.

With only 5.9 million subscribers, U.S. Cellular is focussed on retaining old customers and gaining new ones. Over the past two years, their subscriber base has been declining. Only a quarter of the company’s subscribers have a contract, whereas other top cellular providers have at least half of their customers on subscription plans.

HTC Quarterly Earnings Show the Smartphone Maker as a Top Contender

October 31st, 2011 lana.moore

HTC sold over 13.2 million smartphones last quarter

Smartphone maker, HTC, sold over 13.2 units last quarter (Q3), beating out their previous year’s unit sales at a staggering 93% increase.

According to Appy Geek, “The Taiwanese giant showed it’s growing influence on the mobile phone market with a string of high profile releases which have helped it record a post-tax profit of NT$18.68bn – which equates to around £391 million.” That would equal to $626,460,200.00 as of today’s conversion rating.

HTC’s official Q3 Press Release states:

HTC’s diverse product offerings, expanded distribution network and growing global brand recognition, have helped the Company deliver a record-high quarterly revenue of NT$135.82bn in the third quarter of 2011, resulting in after-tax earnings of NT$18.68bn and EPS of NT$22.07.

HTC sold 13.2 million smartphones in 3Q 2011: 93% more than the same period last year, and 9% more than the second quarter of this year.

New products launched during 3Q addressed a wide variety of customers and market segments. Cobranded with Beats, HTC Sensation XE and HTC Sensation XL offer a studio-quality experience to consumers. HTC Rhyme bundled a new HTC Sense experience and sleek accessories to create a lifestyle device. The Company expanded its entry-level offerings by launching HTC Explorer into emerging markets, such as India, on the heels of HTC Wildfire’s success. And HTC Titan and HTC Radar were the first smartphones to launch with the new Windows Phone “Mango” platform.

HTC is more than just a white-label brand

HTC has gone from being a white-label manufacturer with only models to choose from at certain wireless companies, to having their handsets in more consumers hands and more technology to go along with it. In the coming months look forward to more editorials about the HTC Titan and the HTC Radar as they will be the next hype when they hit the marketplace.
