At a price expected to be much lower than the standard $500 charged for similar spec phones (and free to customers taking out a contract), Innocomm are also looking to integrate a digital TV tuner enabling the device to receive free over-the-air broadcasts. The phone is expected to be on sale in May. Chuck Huang, sales manager at Innocomm said:- “What we do is sell a high-end smartphone at a low-end price.”
