Meteor exclusively launched the HTC Hero in the Irish market in October 2009. The operator recognises the strength of the Android platform and the benefits it delivers to Meteor customers, in terms of access to the internet and multiple applications through the Android market.
Commenting on this release of the HTC Wildfire in white, the Desire HD and Desire Z Kealan Donoghue, Meteor’s Head of Devices and Product Operations said “The HTC Wildfire is already one of the top selling Android handsets in Meteor’s range, the addition of the Wildfire in white is something that we know our customers will love. HTC handsets are a key part of our Android smart phone range and we’re looking forward to the introduction of the new HTC Desire Z and Desire HD. Featuring the next evolution of HTC Sense, these devices offer an amazing smartphone experience, leveraging the strengths of the Android platform".
“Our objective is to increase the choice of Android handsets to appeal to a broader customer base in respect of brands, prices and designs. We currently offer Android phones from leading manufacturers including HTC, Sony Ericsson, LG and Samsung. Android handsets represent more than a quarter of Meteor’s handset portfolio with the range growing from one to 12 devices since October 2009. Meteor will continue to source and extend the selection of Android handsets and are committed to providing our customers with the best choice in this exciting category! Our current Android range with smartphones for €129.99 is the best value in the market, so drop into one of our 41 stores nationwide or online and talk to Meteor, the Android Experts.”
As well as delivering the best selection of Android handsets to the Irish market, Meteor is also encouraging the innovation and creativity of the Irish app development industry by lending their support to the ‘Appys.’ The operator is sponsoring the category “Best Android App” at the awards ceremony which will be held in Dublin on November 4th.
