Looks like Vodafone UK is doing some serious streamlining in terms of which devices they will keep in their 2010 line up. Early this January, it was announced that Vodafone would no longer offer the HTC HD2 to its regular customers but only to the business clients. Delays on the manufacturing and launch of the XPERIA X2 have also gotten the device off Vodafone’s list.
While the Storm 2 is a pretty good mobile phone, it was not doing well in sales and this is probably why Vodafone stopped offering the device to its clients.
On the other hand, things are looking well for Vodafone. They are still growing and expanding. After the successful launch of the Apple iPhone, they have gotten 100,000 units sold in the first week alone. The second week’s haul was also impressive, with more and more subscribers being added to the network since their contracts were expiring and the chance to join the high-speed 3G network of the UK operator is a very tempting offer.
The secret behind Vodafone’s successful 3G network is thanks to the one year of preparations they took to enhance their 3G signal. Vodafone also re-released the Femtocell sure signal 3G which will bring stronger 3G signals to houses.
Over the weekend, Vodafone had to do some damage control as an employee caused plenty of chaos in the Twitter web page by posting offensive content. This caused fears that the company may have been hacked. Customer representatives were quick to apologize for the incident and explained that it was the action of a rogue employee. The employee has already been caught and is on indefinite leave. For most people, the offender should have been terminated outright.
