LG Viewty - more popular in Europe than iPhone?

According to www.dialaphone.co.uk the popularity of iPhone in Europe has been quashed by it’s main rival-LG Viewty. If the official sales figures are to be compared Apple is unlikely to bit it’s competitor which has sold 310,000 LG Viewty handsets since it’s launch 5 weeks ago. The O2 official reports are saying that only “tens of thousands” of iPhones were sold in the UK-Europe’s biggest market.

As www.dialaphone.co.uk reports Apple has blocked the iPhone sales figures from being reported by Gfk, the UK research agency. Gfk collect EPOS (Electronic point of sale) data from all the major UK mobile phone retailers, then produces reports which are commercially available. This is supposed to be the first time that these sort of are being concealed.

Further www.dialaphone.co.uk enumerates the main reasons of LG’s success on the British market. LG’s product is considered to offer more because of having a 5 mega-pixel camera, being able to operate in 3g (HSDPA) networks and having a Xenon flash what allows it’s users to take pictures at night.

Furthermore LG Viewty is available in most of the networks and is cheaper not to mention the fact that it is offered on a shorter contract. Dialaphone claims that Apple might have been more successful with it’s product if it would use a similar sales strategy.
