Netease Tech, 8/24/09
China Mobile (NYSE: CHL; 0941.HK) officially confirmed today that Dopod's Qilin handset meets the telecom operator's "flagship handset" requirements.
Dopod CEO Dennis Chen said the Qilin handset is the first result of China Mobile's RMB 47 mln in subsidies to encourage TD-SCDMA handset development. Dopod has expanded investment in manpower and funding towards TD-SCDMA R&D and will release numerous high-end TD-SDCMA handsets next year.
The Qilin handset, jointly developed by Dopod and China Mobile, is currently one of the most high-end TD-SCDMA handsets available. Equipped with Windows Mobile 6.5, it is expected to reach the market in Q4 2009.
