HTC and Orange to jointly launch Android-powered HTC Dream in France
High Tech Computer (HTC) and Orange will jointly launch the HTC Dream in France on March 5, making Orange the third service provider to market the Android-powered smartphone in Europe, after T-Mobile and Telefonica/O2, according to market sources.
Since Vodafone has also signed an agreement with HTC to launch HTC's second Android-powered handset, the HTC Magic, in Europe starting this spring, HTC's Android-enabled smartphones have found their ways into four leading service providers in Europe.
Unlike T-Mobile, Telefonica/O2 and Vodafone, Orange is not a member of the Open Handset Alliance (OHA). Orange's adoption of the HTC Dream indicates the growing popularity of the Android-powered handsets, noted the sources.
In other news, HTC is expected to unveil a new BlackBerry-like smartphone, the Maple (codenamed 3G Excalibur) in the second quarter of this year. The Maple will come with a QWERTY keyboard and run on Windows Mobile 6.1 Standard OS (operating system), the sources revealed.
