HTC Suffers 21% Sales Decline due to Nexus One in Jan

The Taiwan-based High Tech Computer Corp. (HTC), a globally leading supplier of brand smartphones, reported sales revenue of NT$11.121 billion for January, down 21% from a month earlier due mainly to lower-than-expected sales of Google`s Nexus One phones in the consumer market, according to institutional investors.

Based on its January revenue, HTC projects its sales revenue at between NT$32 billion and NT$34 billion for the first quarter, declining by 17-22% from a quarter earlier. Affected by lackluster sales of Nexus One, the projection of the firm`s smartphone shipments for the quarter has been adjusted downward by institutional investors to only 400,000 units from original 500,000 units.

Acer Liquid exceeds expected sales; Leads to device shartage

Acer said that stronger-than-expected sales of its Android phone Acer Liquid have led to shortages of the device.

“Liquid is doing much better than our expectation,” Gianfranco Lanci, president of the Taipei-based company, said in an interview yesterday. “This is why we’re a little bit short of supply.”

Acer Liquid was unveiled in October and came recently to India. Acer expects to ship at least 250,000 Liquid handsets by the end of this quarter, compared with initial expectations for 150,000 to 200,000, Lanci said.
