Bos BlackBerry Ngamuk Karena T-Mobile Mempromosikan iPhone

John Chen, CEO baru BlackBerry, melakukan protes keras terhadap T-Mobile, karena promosi email yang dilakukan oleh penyedia layanan seluler tersebut kepada para pengguna BlackBerry.

T-Mobile mengirimkan email promosi kepada para pengguna BlackBerry untuk berpindah ke iPhone. iPhone 5s.

Chen menganggap bahwa aksi promosi ini telah menciderai kerjasama mereka yang telah terbangun sejak lama. Ia juga menyayangkan sikap T-Mobile yang tidak mendiskusikan promosi ini lebih dulu dengannya.

“I can assure you that we are outraged too,” Chen goes on to write. “What puzzles me more is that T-Mobile did not speak with us before or after they launched this clearly inappropriate and ill-conceived marketing promotion.”
