TechFaith Releases First 3G Phone

31st October , 2005

ASIA : TechFaith Wireless announced it has released its first 3G phone. The phone is available in Italy and features Qualcomm's 6250 chipset, with WCDMA/GSM mode. The candy bar shaped phone is 19mm thick, with 64MB memory capable front 100K and rear 300K pixel cameras.

Defu Dong, Chief Executive Officer of TechFaith, said, "This is a very
important milestone for TechFaith as it expands our presence internationally and expands our offerings of products with advanced technology. 3G phones are appealing to consumers because of their support for applications other than voice, such as high speed Internet, video on demand services, graphics and video games. We expect our first 3G phone to be a successful product based on the strength of the phone itself, combined with the brand owner and the carrier that we are working with. We intend to customize this product for additional carriers."

According to QUALCOMM Incorporated, well over 128 million people around the world now subscribe to 3G wireless services based on CDMA2000 and WCDMA (UMTS). Services based on these ITU-approved standards have been launched by 104 operators in 46 countries.
