Whenever you lift the PPC or smartphone Smartphone, people always think Dopod first. Yes, Dopod both in the field or fields of PPC smartphone to human impacts are very profound, because Dopod Wm system has focused on making smart phone. But recently, Dopod this brand is rare. Replaced by HTC, they have the kind of relationship? concern the parallel mobile friends may have noticed, Dopod same items always have a lot of different models, for example O2, VODAFONE T-Mobile Edition, version and so on, therefore, have many friends gave rise to the dispute, that is the foreign mobile Dopod OEM goods, not the production cell phone.

In fact, Dopod just in its infancy, it is the "OEM", stuck to the CEC's brand in selling, so more misunderstood Dopod is OEM product without compromise. I am in the market has indeed heard have consumers purchase Dopod product, asked why the Dopod phone there will be a sign of CEC? Dopod is CEC production all in sales of? explained, users always or not reassured that the CEC this symbols be understood and accepted, after all, their own flower is a high-priced purchase Dopod. So what exactly is not OEM Dopod? in Dopod Smartphone user community, really understand mobile phones, mobile phones for Dopod only a few. (Here the Dopod Smartphone user group refers to the Dopod series mobile phones of foreign operators, including the customized version of parallel imports) in fact, these friends of understanding is wrong, it's a long story about Dopod phone, but find out what happened is not difficult. Here you can sure tell everyone, Dopod is OEM, however with their own company's "brand". You can do a simple test, ask friends four issues. First, Dopod phone who produced? 2, Dopod and HTC? 3, Dopod and CEC is? 4, foreign carriers ' Custom Edition phone and Dopod what? four issues, the Basic can know a lot of people on the Smartphone based Dopod understand very little!

A brief history, Dopod

The Dopod, reminiscent of some of the Dopod history. Some people said Dopod is Taiwan brands, some people said Dopod is pure domestic brands, whether that is the correct? Dopod international co., Ltd. was established on 1 July 2002, by Taiwan Hongda and via electronic common funded initially by Hongda's Wang Xue red as Chairman of the Board. In order to avoid Hongda e have OEM and brand double double, and later Chairman of the Board to monitor the entire Xiufeng via. Dopod international co., Ltd. headquarters in China, Taiwan, Hsinchu factory in Taiwan. Dopod international co., Ltd. main management project is mobile phones and handheld devices for product design (PPC phone, PDA), marketing, business, and customer service, operations throughout Taiwan, China, Hong Kong and Southeast Asia.

In addition to the Dopod international co., Ltd., there is also a Dopod — that is, Dopod communications co., Ltd., Dopod communication co., Ltd is Mr. by Dr. Yangxingping m. (parent of a Dopod known) to establish, by the China Electronics Corporation (CEC) and the overseas joint venture, a high-tech company, headquartered in Shanghai, the production base is located in Wuhan. Dopod communications co., Ltd. business scope mainly concentrated in the mainland region, we usually mean the mainstream Dopod phone is from Dopod communications co., Ltd., a trademark is "dopod" homophonic "Dopod". Dopod communications co., Ltd. was established early in the country does not have its own mobile phone licences, so that sales of products with all of the flags on the CEC, with CEC's licence sales, so at that time, many people mistaken for Dopod is CEC's a brand, in fact, Dopod and CEC just cooperation relationship. Subsequently, Dopod achieved domestic mobile licences, the official sales Dopod free branded Smartphone products. In fact, we have found that in all the major cell phone marketplace almost no Dopod mobile counter, and rarely in the marketplace to see Dopod mobile, in fact, this is a sales strategy and Dopod has a great relationship, why in the market can not buy this phone? Dopod behind will have a more detailed explanation.

Two Dopod are Hongda (HTC) 's company, a corporation is "the Dopod international co., Ltd.", a "Dopod communications co., Ltd.". Dopod international co., Ltd. headquarters in Taiwan, in Taiwan Hsinchu factory; and Dopod communications co., Ltd. headquarters is in Shanghai, the factory in Wuhan. Short answer, "Dopod communication co., Ltd" is responsible for business in mainland China, and "Dopod international co., Ltd" is responsible for the business in the Asia Pacific region.

Second, the relationship between the Dopod and Hongda

Dopod and Taiwan Hongda (HTC) has great origins. Dopod is Hongda (HTC) of wholly owned subsidiaries, Dopod is its own brand. Popular, Dopod's Club is Hongda (HTC), responsible for operations in domestic operations. Dopod While the HTC is the ODM for a Taiwan (Original Design Manufacturer, original design manufacturers, their design products to other brand OEM) manufacturers. Hongda (HTC) mainly to OEM, to Europe and all major operators do customized cell phones, their own products is not foreign sales. Hongda (HTC) owns Dopod and Dopod International Corporation, in order to be able to make their home in two "Dopod" can survive the fierce competition, HTC also they did some strong protection measures. Dopod in Wuhan factory mainly parts Assembly, the main part of the machine is mainly a purchase from the House, here refers to the House of nature is Hongda (HTC) has, in fact, from design to production, mostly from HTC. At the same time, this also explains why we often mention in some of the evaluation, in fact, the HTC HTC is XXX

The original model, because to a different operator customization, so eventually the operators hand machine model name is different.

Take a simple example, we usually say Dopod D900, HTC original factory model is Universal, while O2 custom models is XDA Exec, T-Mobile custom models for MDA IV, Orange SPV M5000 version is, although the final name, but are actually the same thing.

In addition, in much the same basis, HTC also according to the operator's requirements for minor adjustments, such as configuration adjustment and the adjustment of the design. A typical example is the Dopod 838, VODAFONE version of the shell is square, but is somewhat streamlined T-Mbolie Edition.

Third, Hongda (HTC), the world's largest PPC generation factory

In many people's eyes, Dopod PPC smart phones very cattle, in fact, is not the cattle dopuda, but his former club Hongda (HTC) cattle. In fact the world world production of PPC, PDA manufacturers and not more than 70% of the worldwide adoption of Windows Mobile system for smart phones (including PPC or Smartphone) are from Taiwan, mainly Hongda (HTC) and MiTAC (Mitac) two, they are starting from iPAQ era and mastered the manufacturing of some techniques.

Hongda (HTC) in the early days of Microsoft Windows CE authorization obtained, followed in the United States on the CES show, featuring the world's first WIN CE handheld PC, the resulting Microsoft's highly recognised co-operation between further strengthened. Now Hongda (HTC) is the principal clients of Windows Mobile, Windows Mobile phones monopolize 80% market share. As mentioned earlier, Hongda (HTC) an ODM (Original Design Manufacturer, original design manufacturers, their design products to other brand OEM) manufacturers, specifically for European operators production OEM Smartphone, we often have France Orange, O2, United Kingdom, Germany, but in fact T-Mobile Hongda (HTC) far more than the mentioned above. Because Hongda (HTC) to OEM manufacturers or service providers is too much, inconvenience, we lay down a look at this picture is clear. This chart is that I get from the Internet, is said to be Hongda (HTC) of internal information, but in fact it is not, or no way. From the analysis of the data in the table, the table override the exact product that is as of mid-2006, it should be said that the interval of time is not long, very valuable. The table is all Hongda (HTC) OEM products, in addition to Smartphone, which also includes mainstream PDA products, such as the HP IPAQ series, Compaq, DELL, Fujitsu, plam-Siemens, that several of the PDA are all by Hongda (HTC) Foundry.
