HTC says its growth in the US is 'faster than others'

This one’s fairly light on specifics, but HTC CEO Peter Chou has given an interview to The Wall Street Journal where he dropped a few interesting tidbits, the most notable being that HTC’s growth in the US is apparently “faster than others.” Exactly what that translates to in actual numbers is unclear, but Chou did say that HTC expects to ship more than the 5.5 million to 6 million smartphones it shipped in the US last year. That growth is apparently due in large part to support from Verizon and T-Mobile, which Chou says “started treating us as their first-tier suppliers last year” and gave the company some “strong momentum.” Chou also went on to confirm that HTC will be introducing six new models for China in partnership with China Mobile this year, and that it’s aiming to ship four to five million units to China annually by 2011.
