HTC Goes Big With Microsoft; Launching Five New Windows Phone 7 Smartphones

HTC brings its trademark innovation and design to a fresh, new Windows Phone 7 portfolio - HTC 7 Surround, HTC 7 Mozart, HTC 7 Trophy, HTC 7 Pro and HTC HD7

NEW YORK, October 11, 2010 - HTC Corporation, a global designer of smartphones and long-time Microsoft
partner, today unveiled five new Windows Phone 7 smartphones: HTC 7 Surround,
HTC 7 Mozart, HTC 7 Trophy, HTC 7 Pro and HTC HD7. This strong and diverse
family of phones features Microsoft's new Windows Phone 7 platform and
embodies the stand-out design and innovation for which HTC has come to be
known. Each new phone includes a variety of cutting-edge technologies and a
series of unique HTC applications that can be accessed through the new HTC
Hub that complements the Windows Phone 7 Hub and Tile experience.

"Windows Phone 7 is an entirely fresh mobile experience, on which HTC is
excited to be going big. We see tremendous customer opportunities with the
integration of Microsoft's most popular services like Xbox LIVE and Zune,"
said Peter Chou, CEO of HTC Corporation. "The value Microsoft is bringing to
mobile customers around the world sets a new benchmark for the industry. HTC
will be introducing five new HTC Windows Phone 7 smartphones at launch to
support our customers with a broad variety of choice."

"HTC has been a partner with Microsoft since we launched our first phones
nearly a decade ago, and we couldn't be more excited to continue this journey
with the launch of Windows Phone 7," said Andy Lees, President of the Mobile
Communications Business at Microsoft. "Windows Phone 7 characterizes a new
direction for Microsoft and its partners, and HTC is stepping up to support
this in a significant way by bringing five new Windows Phones to market."

Windows Phone 7

Windows Phone 7 has been carefully crafted to help people get more done
in fewer steps with a unique Hub and Tile interface. The Windows Phone 7 Hubs
offer quick and easy access to a person's latest and most valuable
information and include People, Pictures, Games, Music & Video, Office and
Marketplace content. Windows Phone 7 also integrates with many popular
Microsoft consumer services such as Xbox LIVE, Windows Live, Bing and Zune.

HTC Windows Phone 7 portfolio

HTC has brought its innovative design and creativity to its new Windows
Phone 7 smartphone portfolio by embracing distinctive materials and unique
design elements while providing an exciting set of cutting-edge features and
technologies. With the new HTC Hub, HTC is providing an exclusive series of
applications and utilities that include a new weather and stocks application
and a new photo enhancer that enables a person to apply special effects
before sharing photos with friends.

HTC 7 Surround

Whether it be gaming, movies or music, HTC 7 Surround is the ultimate
multimedia device. With a unique slide-out speaker and integrated kickstand
with integrated Dolby Mobile(TM) and SRS WOW HD(TM), the HTC 7 Surround
delivers high-fidelity audio and virtual surround sound that enable people to
share their favorite music and videos with their friends in style. No longer
are they forced to use headphones for a great surround sound experience
because the HTC 7 Surround speaker makes the listening experience natural and
comfortable.

HTC 7 Mozart

Crafted from a single piece of anodized aluminum, the HTC 7 Mozart feels
great in the hand and takes HTC's unibody design aesthetic to the next level.
The slim, solid and smart HTC 7 Mozart sounds as good as it looks and
integrates Dolby Mobile(TM) and SRS WOW HD(TM) for high-fidelity, virtual
surround sound. With Microsoft Zune integration, people can synchronize the
HTC 7 Mozart with their PC, enabling them to take their music and video
library with them wherever they go.

HTC 7 Trophy

HTC 7 Trophy harnesses the power of Xbox LIVE. Gamers will enjoy the
speed and responsiveness of fast action gameplay supported by the phone's
high-performance 1GHz Snapdragon processor, and controlled through the vivid
WVGA 3.8" touchscreen. High-fidelity, virtual surround sound - through SRS
WOW HD(TM) - brings a rich audio experience whether the user is playing a
game, watching a video or listening to their favorite music.

HTC 7 Pro

The development of the HTC 7 Pro was inspired by power users who want to
combine the ultimate in business efficiency with the ability to take full
advantage of their leisure time. The sleek handset slides opens and tilts to
reveal a full QWERTY keyboard for fast, comfortable typing, while
productivity features such as the ability to sort, scan and manage Outlook
email, open and edit the latest Office documents on the phone and keep track
of the markets with HTC's stocks application, offer new ways to maximize the
business day.

HTC HD7

HTC HD7 owners can enjoy their favorite videos and movies in
cinematic-style thanks to the large 4.3" high-resolution screen, while its
kickstand allows them to sit back and enjoy the action handsfree. For those
who refuse to compromise on their mobile gaming experience, the HTC HD7
realizes the power of Xbox LIVE, bringing gameplay to life in a way that
takes console gaming beyond the home.
