The name Dopod is just a domestic name. Abroad, Dopod's mobile phones are customized by various mobile operators. Or they are manufactured by HTC in Taiwan and shipped to various countries, which leads to a wide variety of brands derived from Dopod.

Due to different operators, mobile phones have different names. For Dopod mobile phone enthusiasts, these product models and prices can be kept in mind, while for ordinary users, the confusing names and prices will make them dizzy. Next, let everyone take a look at how many types of Dopod mobile phones there are.

HTC: Taiwan HTC (also known as HTC) is headquartered in Taiwan and has a factory in Hsinchu, Taiwan. Directly invested and built by HTC. HTC is the main customer of Windows Mobile, almost monopolizing 85% of the market share. All Dopod mobile phones we see on the market, regardless of industry, are manufactured by HTC. However, because HTC is an OEM for major operators, the prices are customized by the operators. HTC only participates in pricing for brand models under its jurisdiction. Among its many partners, HTC maintains very important relationships with several operators. The products of these operators can be the first to be launched, ensuring stable quality and excellent performance. It also provides strong support and protection for its subsidiaries Dopod Communications Company and Dopod International Communications Company, making it invincible in the fierce environment. HTC's mobile phones are known as the "iron triangle" combination: HTC's hardware technology, Microsoft's excellent system, and Yousheng Technology's software. Yousheng Technology was not under the control of HTC in the early days, and was acquired by HTC at the end of 2003. The joining of Yousheng has brought a new life to HTC, making the software applicability of HTC products better improved. Since HTC first provides its models to foreign operators, and domestic models are relatively later on the market, many users think that HTC or Dopod has the brand name of foreign operators. The common HTC on the market is also called "Taiwan version machine".

Dopod: Dopod Communications and Dopod International Communications are wholly-owned subsidiaries of Taiwan's HTC Communications, and the Dopod brand is an independent brand. As the owner of Dopod, HTC manages Dopod's domestic operations. The name Dopod is only used in China and the surrounding Asia-Pacific region. Dopod Communications Co., Ltd. is headquartered in Shanghai and has a factory in Wuhan. The technology is controlled and deployed by HTC. HTC’s company in Taiwan is called Dopod International Co., Ltd. It is headquartered in Taiwan and has a factory in Hsinchu, Taiwan. It is also invested by HTC. The names of both are Dopod, but the "international" name is added. On the trademark, the Dopod international trademark is the uppercase Dopod English letters. Common mobile phones with the capital "DOPOD" in the market are called "Taiwan version phones".

T-Mobile: A world-famous telecommunications operator. It is called "world-famous" because it is a multinational mobile telecommunications operator. Its business spans Western Europe, and it also has business services in the United States, Eastern Europe and Southeast Asia. Therefore, its users have reached 109 million. The mobile phones you see with the word T-Mobile printed on them are all made by this telecom operator. But just like most telecom operators in our country and other countries, T-Mobile does not produce any mobile phones itself, but sells them through customized mobile phones of various brands. What domestic users call "T version" is the mobile phone customized by this operator.

Orange: Orange is a wireless services subsidiary of France Telecom. It does not produce any mobile phones, but is directly OEM manufactured by HTC. In the early days, because its trademark was an orange, it was affectionately called the "orange version" or SPV version by the majority of users. In 1994, the company officially entered the British market. In 1996, the company was officially listed on the London stock market and officially landed on the NASDAQ stock market on April 2 of the same year. At present, the company has registered trademarks in Hong Kong, Australia, Israel and other countries. Orange can provide customers with high-quality services and has received praise from many users in the UK.

Vodafone: Vodafone was founded in 1984. It is now the world's largest telecommunications operator and a multinational telecommunications operator with headquarters in the United Kingdom and Germany. Vodafone has invested in 27 countries around the world. It also operates mobile phone networks in cooperation with local telecom operators in 14 countries. It has 150 million users worldwide. User defined as "Vodafone Edition".

O2: A famous British telecommunications operator. O2 has grown rapidly since its separation from the UK's largest telecommunications company in 2001, becoming the sixth largest telecommunications operator in Europe. It is headquartered in England, has 14,000 employees, and has close to 30 million users in the UK, Ireland, Germany and surrounding countries. The branch in Germany is called "mmO2", and they are also directly OEMed by HTC. Users like to call it "O2 version". (O is the English letter)

Qtek: The Qtek brand is a brand launched by HTC's overseas operators in Northern Europe, just like Dopod is a brand launched by HTC in China. However, the hardware configuration and appearance of the phone itself have not changed or have changed very little. Usually the difference is just in color. Users become "Q version" or "Qtek version".

KROME: KROME is the name of the Australian telecommunications operator. There have been a few mobile phones customized for KROME. There is also less circulation on the market. Occasionally circulated and collected by users or sold out.

i-mate: A well-known communications operator in the United States, its main business is located in Australia. There are fewer customized models.

Cingular: The best and most popular communications operator in the United States, with a large user base and good reputation in the United States. It is also the exclusive operator partner of Apple iPhone. There are not many customized HTC models.

CECT: Licensed mobile phones. In the early days, Dopod's sales route focused on PDAs, and it had no intention of entering large mobile phone stores or supermarkets. Later, as it developed, it required a mobile phone license, so it was no longer necessary after obtaining the license. Then OEM by CECT. Therefore, the Dopod mobile phones on the market with CECT printed on them are actually licensed mobile phones marketed by CECT in the early days when Dopod did not obtain a mobile phone license, and are not parallel imports.

SIEMENS: It is also a rare version, a mobile phone customized by Siemens of Germany. The configuration is generally the same as that of Dopod models. But there are exceptions, such as the Siemens camera-less version.
