HTC Corp, (TAIEX: 2498) produces powerful handsets that continually push the boundaries of innovation to provide true mobile freedom.
Founded in 1997 by Cher Wang, Chairwoman, HT Cho, Director of the Board & Chairman of HTC Foundation, and Peter Chou, President and CEO, HTC made its name as the company behind many of the most popular operator-branded devices on the market. It has established unique partnerships with key mobile brands, including the leading five operators in Europe, the top four in the US, and many fast-growing Asian operators. It has also brought products to market with industry leading OEM partners and, since June 2006, under its own HTC brand.
HTC is one of the fastest-growing companies in the mobile sector and has achieved remarkable recognition over the past couple of years. Business Week ranked HTC as the second best performing technology company in Asia in 2007 as well as giving the company the number 3 spot in its Global listing in 2006.
Since launching its own brand 18 months ago the company has introduced dozens of HTC-branded products around the world.
Products & Innovation
HTC is known for its innovation. It is constantly broadening the range of devices it offers – introducing devices to support specific applications and new form factors that meet the increasingly diverse needs of its customers and partners.
HTC's product portfolio offers easy-to-use solutions that embrace the full range of mobile multimedia resources, wireless anytime and Internet on the go.
It has a rich heritage of device 'firsts':
In early 2006, HTC launched a powerful new device with a groundbreaking form factor: the HTC Advantage. The HTC Advantage is the world’s most powerful office, boasting a 5" screen and full detachable QWERTY keyboard. This was followed in early 2007 with the introduction of the HTC Shift. Equipped with Windows Vista this device includes a brilliant 7-inch widescreen touch display and a 40 gigabyte hard drive.
HTC launched the HTC Touch™ in June 2007 as the result of extensive R&D and the conviction that fingertip control would enable more intuitive navigation. The groundbreaking HTC Touch™ is equipped with TouchFLO™ so that consumers just sweep their finger across the screen to get access to the most commonly used content, contacts and features in a simple finger flick.
HTC aims to continually develop smart new devices that empower users on the go, providing more freedom in the way they live their lives.
Pioneering Through Partnerships
Since its inception, HTC has pioneered the smart phone market through partnerships with Microsoft and key mobile operators. Additional strategic partnerships include: Intel, Texas Instruments and Qualcomm; some of the largest mobile operators including Orange, 02, T-Mobile, Vodafone, Cingular, Verizon, Sprint and NTT DoCoMo.

A couple of days ago i spilled mouthwash on my phone. At first the screen had multicolored lines covering the entire screen. However the keyboard worked and i could accpet calls. I left it in the sun and i guess the mouthwash dryed up. Now everything is perfect except the touch screen responds to my touch very slowly like 30 minutes apart. So i guess it still works? Any ideas? Thanks.

does anyone know if the Fuze will be able to upgrade to 6.5, I believe it's going to be on the touchpro2 but since that's probally not coming to the U.S. I would like to have that OS it looks pretty neat besides I'm tired of 6.1 glitches (not that a new OS would lead to less glitches lol)
