ModeLabs to Launch Second Hummer Branded Phone
French based handset OEM, ModeLabs has announced the launch of its second Hummer branded mobile phone. The product is being launched as part of the exclusive licensing contract concluded in February 2007 with Hummer.
Like its predecessor the HT1, ModeLabs says that the HT2 is inspired by the design of the wheels and grille of the Hummer: an off-road vehicle. While reflecting the spirit of the brand, the new mobile is fully multimedia and can be used in any situation. The HT2 has up to 500 hours of stand-by mode, is quad-band GSM and features Dual-SIM (two lines in a single mobile), a built-in modem, e-mail and a webcam.
More than 50,000 Hummer HT1 mobiles have been sold worldwide. Initially distributed in Europe, in particular in France, Spain and the Netherlands, the HT1 went on to score successes in Eastern Europe and Latin America. Sales of the HT1 continue to grow following recent releases on markets in Australia, India and North America.
The Hummer HT2 will be marketed in Russia in the first quarter of 2008 and in Latin America at the end of the second quarter.
