Taiwan-based vendor HTC will ship an estimated 7-8 million smartphones in the third quarter of 2010 and 9-10 million units in the fourth quarter, and its second-half 2010 smartphone shipment volume will rank fourth behind Nokia, RIM (Research in Motion) and Apple, according to Taiwan-based makers of handset components.

HTC will see significant sequential growth in its fourth-quarter shipment volume due to the launch of new Android- and Windows Phone 7-based models, the sources pointed out. In contrast, Apple's decreased shipment volume in the fourth quarter will be because Apple fans' purchases of the iPhone 4 peaked in the third quarter, the sources indicated.
