pif – advertising, marketing and public relations

do you know what that is ? that’s the third phone to be release by Google.
first there was HTC Dream (G1) then there was HTC Magic (G2) and now it’s the Huawei G3.

anyone of them is better than the iPhone but nobody noticed, well this phone will be release in the Q3 of this year (2009) and it’s going to be a serious blow to the iPhone 3G S.

even though we don’t know any specifications what we do know is that it has a 3.5″ touchscreen, a better camera than the iPhone 3G S, and that it’s powered by the Google Android.

Have you seen the interface of the Google Android ? No, I didn’t think so.
I was thinking to buy a Samsung Jet (because even that it’s way better than the iPhone 3G S) but now I’ve changed my mind, I’m going to wait for the Android G3 and get that one. That’s gonna end this iPhone 3G S madness.

Not that I don’t like the iPhone, I love it, it’s a very good product, but half of it’s price is it’s advertisement and it’s agressive marketing strategy.

Let’s talk a bit about that, Apple has always had an agressive marketing strategy and I guess that why they survived, but they broke the records with the iPhone, I mean, iPhone was getting advertisements 3 months before it’s release, people actually stood in line the whole night just to be amongst the first ones who get the iPhone.

That’s pretty crazy if you ask me, you stay in line to give a shitload of money just to get phone that’s not even close of being a leader of the market in the touchscreen phones industry. For instance, in Italy an free cleareance iPhone 3G S from Vodafone costs 719 Euro. That’s just mad. Imagine that a better phone like Samsung Omnia 2 or the Sony Ericsson Idou (Satio) is half the price and twice the fun.
