HTC EVO 3D: Not Vodafone UK, but possibly other territories

HTC’s Chacha hits 3UK, check out Sedge’s video
In the UK, the mobile operator is king. If they don’t range your handset, then the chances of it selling in volume are pretty poor. The UK market — like a few others in Europe — is heavily, heavily dependent on ‘free phones’ (or operator subsidy). Consumers don’t mind paying a little bit of cash [...]

HP, HTC, Nokia headlining at Qualcomm’s Uplinq event
Look at that list there. That tells you something about the ecosystem that Qualcomm has created in recent years.

Marketplace: HTC EVO 4G for sale
HTC Evo 4G WiMax Android Phone (Sprint) – Unboxing A reader emailed me this morning to point out that having returned to the UK from the Google I/O conference, he’s got an HTC EVO 4G device that’s utterly useless in the United Kingdom since it’s CMDA only.

Now in a [...]
Vodafone is on a roll; opens Legend pre-ordering
