Taiwanese Police Officers Chose Apple, Motorola and Nokia Ahead of Home Brand HTC

(GSM Insider) - In the past few months were not a good time for HTC as its sales and profits slumped globally. If you think that Taiwanese are going to help HTC to regain the market share in smartphone market, then you are absolutely wrong. This is another sad story for HTC as Taiwanese not supporting home brand. 

According to Taiwan media, Taiwanese Police Department refused to purchase HTC smartphones for Police Officers to use as the official device. The main reason for this is because majority of Taiwanese Police Officers are not satisfied with the HTC smartphones.

Taiwanese Police Officers chose foreign brands like Apple, Motorola and Nokia instead of their own home brand. iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S are two of the most popular among police officers and followed by Motorola RAZR Maxx andNokia C2-06. 

This is another disaster for HTC. If local Taiwanese not supporting own brand, how about those not from Taiwan?
