An eBay auction for four limited edition HTC Touch handsets is currently in the works, with the lowest bid positioned at a measly 1.05 Singapore dollars ($0.78 US) and the highest bid at a still fairly cheap 151 Singapore dollars ($111.49 US). Proceeds from the sales of these four unique handsets will go straight to the bank of the Children’s Cancer Foundation, which is proof that HTC knows the right way to fairly share its blessings.
Other than being helpful to cancer patients and adding publicity to its HTC Touch handset line, I can’t find any other reason why HTC might want to do something like this? Looking to attract more fashionable users? That could be a good theory. But maybe they just want to show the world that they’re not really all business, all the time. The HTC also knows how to play, and has a bright side. Which is a good sign that the company is currently in good times.
Unfortunately, in order to take part in this smartphone fund raising event, you’d have to be located somewhere in Singapore, where HTC would gladly ship any of the four uniquely-styled handsets to your home, provided that you win the auction, of course. So I guess if you really want a jolly version of the HTC Touch such as these, your best bet would be to just look for a Nicholas designer Nic Wong counterpart from where you come from. Or move to Singapore. The choice is yours.
