So this story would have us believe that HSBC intends to give one iPhone to 1 in 2 of their staff?! Sorry, but do the math(s) - these numbers just don't stack up, HSBC would never give out or need so many BlackBerries as they're typically given to managers and essential staff who need to be in contact 24x7, not cashiers etc. If HSBC have no need for so many BlackBerries (Dusan: note the plural of Berry is Berries!) why would HSBC be thinking about giving out so many iPhones? The numbers, and the associated story, are just nonsensical. 200,000 iPhones when HSBC has 330,000 employees (a large proportion of whom being cashiers and “low-level” staff, I would suggest).

Anything to get a better deal. If they don't chose Apple, that will have an impact on others as well. They’re no doubt considering several phones. Anything to get a better deal.
