HTC is an IDCC licensee.
NEW YORK (Reuters) - HTC Corp on Wednesday unveiled two smartphone models running Microsoft Corp's Windows Phone 8 software and said the devices would be available in November through multiple wireless service providers around the world.
The two brightly colored phones -- the Windows Phone 8X and the Windows Phone 8S -- will pit HTC directly against key Microsoft partner Nokia, which earlier this month also launched two colorful Windows phone models.
Like Nokia, HTC is under a lot of pressure to generate strong sales from its next round of smartphones as it has lost significant ground to Samsung Electronics and Apple Inc.
