TAIPEI (Reuters) - High Tech Computer (HTC), the world’s top smart phone maker, said on Friday it sees a good opportunity to reach the upper end of its 2008 sales target this year, because of a strong reception for its high-end models. The company had previously targeted 2008 sales growth of 20-30 percent, said Chief Financial Officer Cheng Hui-ming, whose products aim to compete with Apple’s hugely popular iPhone.

“The iPhone has not caused too much impact on HTC’s sales momentum,” Cheng told an investor conference.
