HTC America launches HTC Wiki

Following HTC’s decision to release their new devices under the HTC brand, HTC America is launching the HTC Wiki. The wiki is currently in a pre-launch state, but owners of HTC devices are all invited to come have a look and join in.

Bluetooth headsets

If your HTC-branded TyTN just doesn’t feel complete without the matching branded range of accessories, it looks like HTC feels your pain. Browsing on over to the company’s European site, a couple of accessories have popped up with more promised in the pipeline: the BH S100 A2DP headset and BH M100 mono Bluetooth headset, both with expected August availability. Neither unit looks exciting, special, or different in any notable way — just HTC branded. If you’re into that sort of thing.

BH S100 / BH M100

BH S100: Bluetooth Stereo Headset
Great for music and general use. Available in black or white.

BH M100: Bluetooth Mono Headset
The perfect business headset. Available in black or white.

HTC continues invasion of Japan

After opening divisions in Europe (HTC Europe) and USA (HTC Americas), HTC (that is headquarted in Taiwan) has just opened a division in Japan – under the name “HTC Nippon”. The first phone for Japanese market will be hTc Z.

Please note: UMTS phones that work in Europe are 100% compatible with Japanese UMTS too!
