HTC is out with their November numbers and they rock. Last month, the Taiwan-based smartphone maker reported record profits of NT$17.76 billion ($528.57 million), a number that represents a 10.8% increase on month, and a 22.1% increase on year. As a result, shares in HTC rose 5.6% following the announcement.
Not surprisingly, two handsets drove the sales – the Touch Diamond and the Android-based T-Mobile G1.
In comparison, sales in the sector grew just 11.5% on year during Q3, whilst market leader Nokia reported negative growth in smartphone sales for the period.
HTC’s revenues for the first 11 months of 2008 total NT$138.98 billion, 29.6% more than last year.

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
