The phone, based on the cordless phoning technology personal handy-phone system (PHS) and priced at 5,880 yuan (US$726) apiece, is the result of two-years of cooperation among Houston-based USA Spacetime Golden Communication Technology Co Ltd, US-based UTStarcom Corporation and Taiwan-based Eten Information Systems Co Ltd.
The first phones will hit markets in Shanghai, Beijing, Shenzhen, Hangzhou, Nanjing and Fuzhou, according to Wang Qing, vice general manager of USA Spacetime Golden China Marketing Center.
Wang revealed at yesterday's unveiling ceremony that this smart handset, or Injoy M300, is a pocket personal computer (PPC) that enables functionalities including MP3 playing, mobile TV viewing, game downloading and online chatting tools such as MSN and QQ.
Regarding the PPC as a road show for its 3G products, USA Spacetime Golden vice general manager Ye Hong said this product is aimed at the higher-range telecom market of wireless enterprise data applications, with senior business executives and government officials as the target customers.
"Little Smart will no longer be the name for the low-end telecom sector," he noted.
Confident about the market, Ye revealed the first PPC orders from Beijing and Shanghai have reached 3,500 units, and is expecting the sales of this year to boost to between 30,000 and 40,000, as quoted in the Oriental Morning Post report.
