HTC EVO 4G: Successor of the HTC MAX 4G?
Back in 2008, HTC announced a model which supports GSM and WiMAX called the HTC MAX 4G. Yes the HTC EVO 4G was not the first 4G phone to hit the market. At that time 4G was still new and the coverage was minimal so this baby was launched in Russia instead. It is pretty obvious that this was where the HTC EVO 4G started off – crude and effective just like the Russian mob (just kidding).

HTC EVO 4G Price in Malaysia – An Estimate
When the HTC HD2 was first launched in Taiwan on the 4th of November 2009, it took nearly 6 months to reach the United States on March 24th, 2010. Peculiarly it was launched in Malaysia not long after the Taiwan launch and was available nationwide by the end of November 2009. The prices respectively for Taiwan, US and Malaysia were NT29,500, USD450 and RM2899 respectively. Converting the prices to RM we would have RM2939 for the Taiwan version and RM1437 for the US price. So what will the HTC EVO 4G price and will be like in Malaysia? Lets take a look.

The Global Mobile Phone Market Share: Pre-2000s to Date
Browsing through some finance blogs, I found this at Bloomberg – a chart which depicts the slow demise of Nokia as the reigning phone giant it used to be. The chart was a comparison between Nokia, Apple and RIM with Apple leading the herd and growing 8X larger than the former giant Nokia. When I saw this chart I wondered, what about the rest of the industry? So I went on and scoured the Net and came up with a timeline of what happened in the mobile industry from the pre-2000s to date. Read on for more.

Bloomberg Chart of the Day: Nokia in the Dumps
Things don’t look so good for Nokia, the former mobile phone giant as Bloomberg released this trend chart. The chart focuses on 3 major handset makers – Apple, Nokia and RIM – and reviews their performance from year 2000 till present. Nokia which previously was 14 times the size of Apple, has now shrunk to one eight of the size of Apple. Or is it that Apple has grown? Well it works both ways but the truth remains that Nokia has lost its touch with its consumers. Probably spending too much time trying to be a please-all?
