Dopod China is planning to introduce a Chinese version of the G1 in the region for the first quarter of 2009.
“We intend to introduce the G1 to China, possibly in the first quarter of 2009, through a deal with High Tech Computer Corp. (HTC). It will be branded as a Dopod. We are now discussing a partnership with China Mobile,” a source from Dopod China told Interfax.
The Chinese G1 will be adapted to suit China’s network although Dopod have not currently decided whether the device will be EDGE or TD-SCDMA. With TD-SCDMA being the only 3G standard technology currently in use in China.
As a partner of HTC, Dopod China sells selected models of HTC phones in China under the “Dopod” brand.
