Aww, that’s nice. Here we were thinking that the iPhone was stomping all over its rivals with (immaculately fitted, designer) hobnail boots. The truth, according to Nokia and RIM is quite the reverse.
Speaking to Macworld, Apple’s two main rivals in the Smartphone market are both relatively sanguine about the iPhone’s success and say that the phone’s high profile is actually boosting sales of rival smartphones too.
There could be something in this – I know a few people who have had their interest piqued by the iPhone, only to discover that they can’t keep their existing network contract or realise that they wont be able to install random apps and plump for a N95 instead.
Saucer of milk, too, for Nokia’s Industry Liaison bod, Mark Selby. When asked if Nokia’s new phone would be an iPhone Killer he replied “I don’t know what there is to kill.” Nokia can, he claimed, sell more phones in seven days than Apple can in a year.
