If one could have imagined that surfing on the wave of the shortage of iPhone, the company will deliver marketing tools to promote the iPhone to consumers. No, They designed a kind of biased table comparing the iPhone to other mobile phone available on the market and associated with different subscription plans offered by Orange and/or SFR (the two leading carrier in France): Samsung F480, Nokia N95 and HTC Diamond Touch.
Hereafter is a quote of the message:
All those products have specifications higher than those found in the Apple iPhone 3G, especially concerning communication features.They most likely refer to the lack of video in the iPhone 3G, but most of those parameters in the table are quite ridiculous, such as the lack of extension slot, not really necessary with a device featuring 8 or 16 GB of storage space, but for sure crucial for the Samsung model which only sport 236 MB... nevertheless this model gets the point for this parameter...
Those 21 parameters seem to have been selected to ensure that the iPhone will be behind competitors. We are sure that Apple will be pleased to see its iPhone 3G being so badly ranked in internal documentations, maybe The Phone House might not be interested to sell the device, considering the current shortage for this device, Cupertino might have better opportunities with other distributors for increasing accessibility for customers to the iPhone 3G. The Phone House might also have financial interest of selling the other competitor models.
