Who can deny that HTC has produced some of the hottest phones to ever hit the industry? The Taiwanese company is single-handedly responsible for delivering some intense innovation when it comes to sleek and streamlined mobile products. So, is it any wonder that the company is considering opening shop? Due to the company’s success, it looks like HTC is interested in opening at least three flagship stores to push their products. The company is also working with various channels and vendors to open up over a hundred retail shops. This could be huge for the popular handset maker, if they do it right. I wonder if HTC is going to mirror another company who has been successful in opening up their own retail stores, Apple. I have to admit, it would be a sweet deal if, when you’re at the mall, you could just pop in for technical support, view, demo and purchase new devices, and even maybe pick up an accessory or two for your HTC phone (or tablet).
It’s no surprise that starting a retail chain can be challenging, not to mention difficult to make successful, but if anyone can do it, HTC can. Here’s to hoping they take a few pointers from Apple by allowing people to demo live handsets. People want to try it before they buy it! Cough, Cough… Nexus One. What do you think?
