HTC and Dopod Communication from another name for the windfall profits
Fourth nausea: a change in name for huge profits can be
The profits of non-”very yellow very violent” in the violence, but rather that high profits. Dopod mobile phone is very expensive, it is the general view of consumers. But why more expensive? This was from Dopod International, Dopod Communication, HTC to illustrate the relationship between the three. Dopod International, Inc. by the Taiwanese HTC and VIA Technologies, Inc. formed a joint venture based in China Taiwan, factories in China Taiwan Hsinchu. Operates in China Taiwan, Hong Kong, China and Southeast Asia.
Left to right is the Dopod Dopod International Communications
The Dopod Communication Co., Ltd. is headquartered in Shanghai, the production base is located in Wuhan, scope of business mainly concentrated in mainland China, we usually mean is that the licensed mobile phones from Dopod Dopod Communication Co., Ltd., trademark is “dopod”, homophonic is ” Dopod “the.
The HTC is a China Taiwan’s OEM (Original Equipment
Manufacturer, original equipment manufacturers, their own design products, to other brands OEM) vendors. HTC (HTC) mainly OEM mainly to Europe and the United States to do major operators customize mobile phones, their own products in external sales, while it is also Dopod International, Dopod Communication’s “behind the boss.”
Dopod Communication is the key to the factory in Wuhan, the main assembly parts, the main components of the machine are mainly procured from the home, which refers to the home so naturally it is HTC (HTC) has. In fact, from design to production, mostly from HTC is responsible for. We often see parallel Dopod mobile phones, usually HTC
XXX. The HTC
XXX is the original model, because to a different operator customization, so finally to the operator’s hand machine model name is different. To give a simple example, we often say Dopod D900, HTC original model is the Universal, and O2 is the XDA custom models
Exec, T-Mobile custom models for the MDA IV, Orange version of the SPV
M5000, although the ultimate name varies, but in fact are the same thing. In addition, in much the same basis, HTC will be according to the requirements of operators of small adjustments, such configuration adjustments, as well as design changes. A typical example is the Dopod 838, VODAFONE version of the shell is square, while the T-Mbolie version is a bit streamlined.
We clear the relationship between the three, now is to figure out why their relationship? Because Dopod profits. We are referring to the huge profits Dopod Communication is headquartered in Shanghai, Dopod Communication. So that we do not intuitive,
We could use the relatively prosperous Dopod S1 for an example. The current price is 3999 yuan mainstream, while the HTC’s parallel price is around 2,600 yuan, 1,300 yuan spread. Compared to mainstream and parallel imports nearly 50% of the price difference, which is really shocking, but there are parallel imports Wi-Fi has this functionality.
HTC touch with the mainstream Dopod S1 spread 1,300 yuan
If this is not anything, then we have repeatedly used the protagonist of this, Dopod P860 to compare. This machine has just listed, the domestic offer for 7999 yuan. The same period, we have a European website operators, see the price of 538 euros (not to participate in the activities of bare-metal binding price). At current exchange rates, to around 5400 yuan. A difference of more than 2000 yuan. This is marked with the price of Chinese gang parallel importers purchase price would be even lower.
For example the same web site on the HTC
TOUCH is priced at 349 euros, converted into yuan for 3500, while the China’s Dopod S1 parallel generally 2700, so to actually see the difference between P860 is absolutely mainstream and parallel imports more than 2,000 yuan is so low, estimated at around 2200-2500. So, these differences are all gone? Personally, I think, to say that all the eating Dopod Communication is definitely wronged them, they eat is at most a few into the other room for all of the profits into the middle of the channel, otherwise how could such a bunch of retailers, their lives, one see You entered and shops on the shouting, to look at Dopod mobile phone, multi-well cell phone ah, make sure you do not buy after the leg pain, waist is not sour, and eat ma ma incense, not the disease? Price Well, 8000? That was just upset to see you are a kind-hearted people, playing a 9.9 fold the 7999 selling you’ve got, I would, but suffered a major loss of. Too, Mongolia even one! Buddies,
7999 yuan? Enough to buy two of the iPhone, Nokia N95
8GB is nearing two, and you this is plated with gold or inlaid with diamonds, to those of us who really like you as a consumer intelligence than anyone. Next to the shop and your exactly the same before 5400. Touch
A change in name is Cruise Dopod P860, the price of expensive more than 2000, value? This account of each consumer can be considered clear enough.
Touch Cruise Dopod P860 a change in name is on the expensive price of more than 2000
Some people would certainly say that, the licensed importer okay, licensed to the warranty, the licensed importer is guaranteed. Yes, yes, but you know Dopod licensed maintenance of insider profits do? Buy a licensed mobile phone Dopod 1450, changing the screen have to block 800 yuan, but also slaughtered your top university is willing to own hoping to be slaughtered, anyway did not I am involved.
My personal recommendation is not parallel, one is engaged in industry, professional ethics requirements, the other is the quality of a lot of parallel indeed many problems, such as Motorola and Sony Ericsson, often due to a software problem batches of returns. Mainstream a little better, you can find customer service or return the final wrangling, parallel imports are in trouble, not only return troubles, detection is also an issue. In addition, quality problems such as Nokia, although not parallel, but the difference is not obvious with the mainstream, it also recommended that you buy a licensed (licensed not-listed exceptions, such as N95
8GB), however, such as Dopod, Samsung’s I suggest that you use parallel imports, and why it? First, quality of products, such as Dopod generally parallel production of China Taiwan’s HTC, which is the world’s largest Windows
Mobile phone production base, the quality of assembly plant in Wuhan, of course, can not be compared. A few friends around me, the year before last week bought three Dopod 585, a licensed two parallel licensed within two years for three rocker, parallel imports are Pishi not, this is an evidence. In addition to product quality and, more importantly, is the price, especially Dopod products, the spread in at least 1,500 yuan, the highest nearly 3,000 yuan, who light who is heavy and judge for themselves.
