("Qiao Xing Mobile" or "the Company") (NYSE:QXM), one of China's leading domestic manufacturers of mobile handsets through its subsidiary CEC Telecom Co., Ltd. ("CECT"), today announced the launch of its new C3100 handset model that targets the low-end and rural markets with a bright LED flashlight and long standby time. The retail price of RMB499 is expected to make the handset attainable to a wide variety of consumers. The C3100 has the following features: -- LED Flashlight -- The C3100 offers a bright flashlight powered by six light-emitting diodes (LED) -- Long standby time -- The handset can run for over 25 days in standby mode without a recharge -- Large letter display -- The handset can display larger letters that can be helpful for senior citizens -- 500 name phone book -- The C3100 offers enough memory to store 500 names in the phone book According to Mr. Wu Zhi Yang, Chairman of QXM, "We launched the C3100 through TV infomercials at the beginning of January of this year and we are pleased with the initial sales. This is our first foray into the low-end market and we believe we have developed a highly differentiated product that will not only appeal to a number of mass-market consumers, especially in rural areas that have inconsistent access to power, but it will also provide us with the same high margins that we have been able to maintain in almost all of our current handset categories. We are expecting this latest handset to be a high volume seller for us in 2008."
