China Techfaith Wireless Communication Technology and aigo, a brand in consumer digital products, have launched nine new mobile phones designed specifically for the 3G network recently rolled out in China.

According to China Techfaith, the nine new models are from three different product lines, which include dual mode GSM phones, modem card phones and DVDO phones. Of the five dual mode GSM phones three are WCDMA plus GSM phones designed for New China Unicom subscribers and two are CDMA plus GSM phones designed for China Telecom CDMA subscribers.

There are two modem card phones, one of which utilizes a HSDPA modem card and the other uses an EVDO modem card. The final two models have GPS functionality and run on CDMA1X and EVDO. These nine different models cover CDMA1X, WCDMA, GSM and EVDO technologies and encompass the subscriber demand of the different Chinese operators.

Wilson Cai, deputy CEO of China TechFaith, said: The launch of nine 3G mobile phones under the aigo brand name in China demonstrates our strength in mobile phone development and solidifies our strong relationship with aigo. Right now is the ideal time for TechFaith to launch middle to high end products through the aigo brand in China and we are confident these 3G mobile phones will be successful for the recently rolled-out 3G network.
