Editorial: Mobilink And HTC, Revolutionizing Pakistan
Mobilink is the biggest Pakistani carrier serving over 10,000 cities and villages all over Pakistan, according to a report in 2010 they had a whooping 31.5 million user base. It was founded in 1994 by Motorola but was later sold to Orascom Telecom LTD. Ever since its initiation Mobilink has improved in quality and coverage offering the best packages at the best possible prices. Recently Mobilink has brought its focus upon bringing the latest smartphones and gadgets to Pakistan in the most affordable packages. A recent release of theirs is the HTC Sensation, a dual core Android powered superphone which is considered one of the best phones in the market right now with its blazing fast performance and exceptional build quality.
HTC is a Taiwanese company founded in 1997 but has moved up in the market in the last few years, it is expected to become the world’s third largest smartphone manufacturer replacing Nokia and being behind only Apple and Samsung. HTC started off making Windows Mobile phones but they’ve since then moved onto Android and Windows Phone. HTC is a very innovative company, they manufactured the world’s first Android the HTC G1, Android could not have moved into to the market with a better phone. HTC has manufactured many award wining phones like the HD2, EVO 4G (World’s first 4G phone), Thunderbolt (World’s first LTE phone), HTC HD7 (one of the first WP7 devices and launched in Pakistan by Mobilink) and the HTC Hero among others.
Mobilink and HTC have partnered up to bring the aforementioned HTC Sensation to Pakistan in under a month of its international release date for just Rs. 55,000 which is the lowest price in the region. The phone also comes with a leather pouch and three months free of GPRS/EDGE, you cannot get a better deal than this. The HTC Sensation is not the first smartphone to be released by Mobilink in Pakistan, they’ve been a pioneer in making the latest smartphones available for their users. Their previous releases include the HTC HD7, Motorola Milestone, Dell Streak 5, Samsung Galaxy Tab and the Samsung Nexus S.
Mobilink and HTC together are helping Pakistan move towards the future, slowly towards the same standard as the first world countries. Even though we do not have services like 3G yet if Mobilink keeps innovating like it has been then we can expect LTE soon enough, a long-shot you say? Maybe, who knows? We just know one thing for sure, the revolution is coming.
