According to an article on Wired, Samsung have scored a coup by offering some of the disenchanted iPhone 4 users with reception problems a free Galaxy S Android phone. The offer comes as a direct invitation from Samsung to people posting their woes about the iPhone 4 on Twitter.
Excerpt from article:
It appears that technology giant Samsung is handing out free Galaxy S smartphones to iPhone 4 owners frustrated by reception problems. An account on Twitter called @samsungukmobile is contacting people who've tweeted about their difficulties with the handset, asking them to submit their contact details to receive a free handset.
One of those offered a handset was Tiffany Nieuwland, who told Wired: "My iPhone and I have been inseparable for almost a month now, tomorrow being one month since the iPhone OS 4 launched. But the honeymoon period ended this week as repeated dropped calls, and a sudden unexplainable inability to make or receive calls or send texts left me disgruntled.
"So I did what anyone else would do: I vented my frustration on Twitter. Imagine my surprise, then, when this morning I am tweeted by Samsung offering me a free Galaxy S, their latest phone. Too good to be true? I decided to investigate.
"I called a friend at Samsung, and though she was initially sceptical, it has now been confirmed: the campaign is legit. Samsung is so confident about the superiority of the Galaxy S that they’re sending free ones to existing iPhone customers so they can decide for themselves."
I wonder how many users will report back positive experiences of the Samsung device!
The disclosure notice at the end of the post points out that the quoted recipient does work in digital marketing, but Samsung insist this is a genuine initiative!
