iPhone 4 sells out in second launch

Update: 14-10-2010 | 00:00:00

VinaPhone and Viettel’s second round of Apple iPhone 4 imports sold out quickly around the country, barely scratching the surface of demand for the trendy cell phone.

 

The two providers launched the sales quietly to prevent the chaos that marred the first launch. They delivered phones by contacting directly with customers who had ordered via websites.

 

Nguyen Thu Hong, a representative of VinaPhone, said the telecom provider offered only 120 phones in HCMC and 130 in Hanoi over the weekend. VinaPhone invited customers to come and pick up their new phones at its stores.

 

Viettel, meanwhile, distributed 250 phones to selected stores and to the customers who made orders. “Some provinces received only one or two units each,” a Viettel representative told the Daily.

 

The two enterprises have yet to announce timing for the next shipment and said Apple wasn’t providing them with many so they would again only be accepting orders online for the next release.

 

The representative said Vietnam is still a potential market for the smart phone and a large volume of customers will order for the next launch. “In my opinion, iPhone 4 distributors initially can sell 7,000 to 8,000 units each month and 5,000 to 6,000 phones later,” the Viettel staff said.

 

The telecom providers launched the first iPhone 4 imports in Vietnam on September 30 with 1,000 units sold out the same morning. Many people joined long queues in front of stores at 5:00 a.m. but were still too late to buy the popular gadget.
