HTC not scared with Nokia Phone Windows

eguimos analyzing the launching of Windows Phone Handle and the announcement of Microsoft to add new manufacturers between its partners as well as to continue fortifying its agreements with LG, Samsung and HTC (Dell was the great erasure of the presentation) that also will send equipment with the new version of the OS.

In that sense, we found out that Handle will be in the first Nokia Windows Phone and the great question is, then, what benefit (if there is some) will remove the Finns from the agreement Nokia Microsoft. But like another partner of Microsoft, from HTC they are not scared than Nokia with Windows Phone can obtain and they really are trusting in prevailing with its HTC Windows Phone.

In an interview for Reuters, the leader of HTC in Europe, Florian Seiche, assured that the company will benefit because Nokia begins to use Windows Phone since it will drive the percentage of WP in the market of smartphones. “He will not change our commitment with Microsoft. With a new player entering, he would have in fact to help to lift the relevance of the platform, really we felt that we will be able to benefit”, sent the executive in a pragmatic vision that is not mistaken if we thought as HTC benefitted from the success of Android like platform.

And the HTC confidence is explained by its last numbers that we can see in the report of Gartner Q1 2011: it already is second in smartphones in the USA and total his market share grew of 0,9% in 2010 to 2,2% in this 2011!

Then, HTC bets to that if Windows Phone is successful they manage to catch part of that growth as she happened when choosing Android and continue growing in smartphones. In fact we had rumors of a HTC Bresson with camera of 16 mpx so HTC is going to give a strong fight in hardware and we know that Nokia does not have a good image in the United States so it is not for anything preposterous that the users who want to try choose them to WP to them like manufacturers. “The long term opportunity with Nokia entering will bring definitively to Windows of return to the critical mass”, completed Seiche.

In case outside little, in the official notice of official press that distributed Microsoft in Spain today to announce Handle, they included an appointment of Pedro Abbot, HTC Country Manager: “For years HTC an important paper in our supply of products has trusting in Microsoft like partner strategic occupying Windows Phone. The announcement of the new generation of Phone Windows represents a new landmark and in addition it renews our commitment with this operating system. We are enchanted before this announcement and, mainly, with all the possibilities and advantages that offer to our clients. Without a doubt, it will contribute to harness the growth of market that we are living
