Reports: UK consumers slow to adopt Apple's iPhone
By Slash Lane
Published: 11:00 AM EST
While Apple hasn't released official numbers on early sales of its
iPhone in the UK, new reports suggest the company may face difficulty
replicating the level of success it experienced with the US launch of
the handset back in June.

According to a recent report by the Register citing reliable channel
sources, exclusive UK iPhone carrier O2 has activated just 26,500
iPhones since its launch two weeks ago, well below expectations of about
100,000 units.

"Apple¹s history proves that it has the magic touch when it comes to
product development and marketing, however the iPhone has yet to capture
the imagination of the UK public," said Richard Jameson, a
representative for GfK NOP. "We must take into account that the UK
mobile market¹s success has been down to subsidised handsets, therefore
the iPhone¹s price really stands out and consumers are not used to
paying in excess of 200 pounds for a phone."

come up with a spin on this one.

"Slash Lane" LOL
Posting all these pros and cons of the iPhone sales using anything other
than real journalists is laughable. Both sides.

No surprise really. No doubt Apple will respond to sales below
expectations in the UK the same way they responded in the U.S. by
waiting for the early adopters to pay the higher price, then instituting
a huge price cut to spur demand.
