Rumor: China Telecom LePhone Due in September
Sohu IT, 8/25/10
Images reputedly to be of an operator-customized version of Lenovo's (0992.HK) LePhone for China Telecom (NYSE: CHA; 0728.HK) have leaked onto the Internet. The smartphone's official model number is 3GC100 and comes equipped with a 3-5 megapixel camera, Snapdragon 1 GHz QSD8250 or QSD8650 processor, and HSPA/CDMA2000 1xEV-DO Rev.B compatibility. The phone also comes equipped with a number of mobile applications from China Telecom and Lenovo, and China Telecom's E-Surfing Space App Market and the LenovoMM.com app stores. The handset will go on sale in September subsidized by China Telecom, and is unlikely to be priced higher than China Unicom's (NYSE: CHU; 0762.HK; 600050.SH) LePhone. A source at Lenovo Mobile said a TD-SCDMA LePhone is unlikely to become available this year.
