Aug 10, 2006 - High Tech Computer Corp. (TAIEX: 2498) today announced that total revenues for July 2006 reached NT$ 8,893 million, up 69.40% YoY, while total revenues from January to July 2006 were NT$ 58,897 million, jump 73.58% YoY."</i><br /><br /> <img src="http://www.smartphonethoughts.com/images/Kris-Aug06-HTCMonthlyRev.jpg" alt="User submitted image" title="User submitted image"/> <br /><i>Figure: Monthly results obtained from the HTC Investor Service <a href="http://www.htc.com/04-investor-1.htm">Web site.</a></i><br /><br />While 69.40% year over year sales jump is impressive; what is even more impressive is that if you look at the monthly results chart above, you will notice that HTC makes the most revenue during the last three months of the year, this year they have almost touched last year's highs and there are still five more profitable months remaining. Wonder what this year's October, November and December revenue figures would look like? HTC is using the growing revenue stream to grow itself further, expanding not only its product line and market but also increasing its visibility in terms of self-branded products. Even Business Week magazine has recognized its growth. As a Smartphone enthusiast I am happy to see this growth and am hoping that HTC is also trying to build a loyal customer base. For that HTC must improve its customer service and resolve issues like the recent <a href="http://www.smartphonethoughts.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=76042">MTeoR marketing blunder.</a>

70% is good, but it's not a record. Just check out some of the other YoY percentages listed in that chart - 154% Wow!

Their percentages of growth my be down from last year, but they are still increasing their profit. High percentages of growth look nice, but their steady climb is more impressive to me. :)

Now, if they'd just release my dang phone (Cingular 3125)..... :twisted:

Yeah, wait until the 100s of MTeoRs are returned, then check out that #.

That is what got my attention. Too bad they are not traded on a US stock exchange or are they?

:lol:

I am guessing that the MTeoR returns will not cause a big dent, because not many people are probably affected by it. This is why I feel that HTC should respond to this quickly with a public press release and refund the money. This way they will have more customers.

Now if this kind of thing were to happen to their star phone, the STRTrk, then they will be in trouble.
