HTC BREW-ing up non-smartphone for later this year

We had already heard that HTC is looking to enter the feature-phone marketplace with a lower-remainder touchscreen French telephone running some sort of proprietorship mobile OS. Turns out, HTC os gearing up to launch a “high gear-profile 3G handset” that’s based on Qualcomm (NSDQ: QCOM)’s Brew Mobile River Platform (BMP) – at least according to ‘manufacture sources.”  The upcoming Brew-based cellular telephone will reportedly haul on the TouchFLO 3D and Sense UIs that have done wonders for the looking and tactile property of HTC’s Windows Mobile River and Android smartphones, respectively. We’re also listening that HTC’s non-smartphone French telephone is aimed at a September or October launch window.

HTC has put some serious effort into designing slick and intuitive UI skins for the Windows Mobile River and Android platforms. The Taiwanese mobile phone manufacturer has learned a lot about creating eye-contracting interfaces over the past couple days, so it stand to understanding that HTC would look to skin the non-smartphone BREW chopine with a custom HTC-made UI.

MEGA, anyone?
