HTC gives sole distribution rights of GSM devices in USA to Brightpoint Inc. December 05, 2006 [General] | By Edward J. R. In other words: any GSM compatible phone manufactured by HTC and sold in USA through wireless carriers (operators) or distributors must go through Brighpoint! We don't think it is wise move on part of HTC, particularly because in other areas (for example: Europe) HTC assigned more than one distributor... Information from Brightpoint Inc. follows. * * * * * Brightpoint North America to be Sole Distributor of HTC GSM Devices to Regional Operators and their Distribution Channels Brightpoint, Inc., announced that its subsidiary Brightpoint North America L.P. (Brightpoint) has signed an agreement with High Tech Computer Corp. (HTC) to distribute HTC GSM devices. The agreement permits Brightpoint to serve as the sole authorized distributor for HTC's Microsoft(R) Windows Mobile(R)-based GSM devices and related accessories to regional carriers, mobile virtual network operators (MVNOs) and their respective independent dealers, value-added resellers (VARs), and retailers in the United States and Canada. Mitch Black, senior vice president of sales & distribution for Brightpoint, stated: "Brightpoint is excited to expand its relationship with HTC and add HTC's innovative Windows Mobile-based GSM wireless devices to our channels in North America. HTC has a long tradition of designing and building durable, reliable, and versatile devices, and Brightpoint's affiliates have distributed HTC devices in various European markets for several years. This growing relationship with HTC is a significant key to our overall Smartphone strategy." "HTC is pleased to extend our relationship with Brightpoint to North America, as it will provide us with the opportunity to further expand our market penetration," said Todd Achilles, vice president of sales and marketing for HTC America. "Thanks to the great relationship Brightpoint has with the regional carriers, our GSM devices will always be easy to find and purchase at a variety of outlets across North America."
