Cheapo Iphone sells out

Mobile giant pulls plug on offer

CARPHONE WAREHOUSE has told its web trading partners to stop offering 8Gb Iphones at the recently discounted price because thay are out of stock.

A message meant for the trade, and reported on Apple snoop site 9to5 Mac, says; "Thanks to the most phenomenal response to the promotion, The Carphone Warehouse is now out of stock on the Apple iPhone. Please can you remove all reference to the iPhone promotion in your copy."

The company representative also said that CW was "not expecting to receive any additional stock at this time."

funny thing

nine months after the official launch you still cannot spell iPhone correctly: may I recommend methylphenidate?

AT adds: May I suggest you learn English? The Inq's policy is to ignore stupid marketing spellings with capital letters in the middle of words and to treat them as proper names with an upper case first letter. We also take a perverse delight in annoying people who send us press releases saying things like "Please note, VIA should always be ALLCAPS".
This is why we refer to Via (ALLCAPS)

While I would write "iPhone" correctly, I have no patience for names with gratuitous punctuation in them, e.g. "Yahoo!". In a sentence, I would write "Yahoo doesn't want to be acquired by Microsoft", not "Yahoo! doesn't want to be acquired by Microsoft". Keeps things easier to read, don't you think.

AT adds: AT doesn't actually have anything to add.

AT really adds: Oh yeah?
