Vodafone drop the HTC HD2

talkalot

For those of you who were waiting for the HTC HD2 on Vodafone they have dropped it in favor of the IPhone. Here is what was put on their forum.

Hello everyone,

As promised, here's our update:

We won't be re-stocking the HTC HD2 for general consumer sales once our current devices sell out. There's been a great deal of interest since we made the HTC HD2 available to buy in November and our initial supply quickly sold out. With subsequent deliveries of stock we've prioritised the fulfilment of back orders for the device.[/size] Given the wide and expanding range of smartphones available to Vodafone customers, including the iPhone in early 2010, we're confident that we continue to offer the broadest range of devices to our customers, more details of which can be found at http://shop.vodafone.co.uk/shop/mobile-phones/all-phones

Kind regards,

Tom

There must be a reason why they have decided to stop selling something which is obviously in great demand....?

A very large under the counter payment from Apple?

Surely not...

How is this NOT anti-competitive activity? No network company would drop a well-selling phone just like that, but a phone company is more likely to demand the removal of a rival phone. This all sounds illegal to me. I hope the European Commission look into this. The Vodafone update message is clearly a front.

While the iPhone has probably help prompt Vodafone's decision to drop it from their consumer range, you can still find the HD2 on their Business Shop (which for anyone playing hardball with retentions means the phone may well be made available).
