I saw the advert paper that was circulated about the month end offer and so decided to check out the HTC touch HD. When I visited one of their outlets on saturday, the sales attendant informed me that the entire stock was finished and they did not have ANY of the advertised units in stock. I found this not normal, especially when a company as big as Safcom was running the special. The attendant further me informed that all units were sold out in a matter of few hours a day before. What I find very strange about the offer is this : - Do kenyans walk around with millions of Ksh in their pockets, literally,
that they just went and bought all the units outright? Would dealers have bought the unit outright and if they did, that even complicates the situation because Safaricom advertised to the general public, not dealers and thereby misleading the general public. Therefore, if any member of the public bought more than 2 handsets, would this mean a vendor and not the general public was buying the handsets. Something stinks about this whole month end offer affair and I think is worthy of investigation by kenyan authorities. Did anyone on the list see safaricom outlets being overcrowed by huge lines of people wanting to buy handsets for a the first few hours that the offer ran on that day,
then the lines slowly disappear?.
