Banking Firm HSBC Considering iPhone? More iPhone Sales Estimates
ZDNet Australia reports that banking "giant" HSBC is considering ditching the BlackBerry and switching over to the iPhone for its staff. HSBC has about 300,000 staff worldwide and this transition could result in 200,000 iPhone orders.
While Apple has not released official sales numbers for the iPhone 3G beyond the first weekend, analysts are predicting that Apple will sell at least 4.47 million iPhones this quarter. This estimate reportedly doesn't take into account Apple's international iPhone in 22 additional countries later this month.
"We are actually reviewing iPhones from a HSBC Group perspective ... and when I say that, I mean globally," HSBC's Australia and New Zealand chief information officer Brenton Hush told ZDNet.com.au yesterday.

I think is is a great thing, from every encounter I have had with the Blackberry I have found them to be 100% NOT user friendly! I think that the iPhone will become the industry standard for Corp. Email and the like.

Hope this doesn't mean we'll be having another iPhone shortage here in the US because of HSBC.

I disagree. My Blackberry is super user friendly. And the iPhone will not become standard any time soon. Blackberrys are just too good for email. The iPhone can't get it shizz straight, and the Blackberry has been tried and true for years

Great news, let's hope the iPhone makes further in-roads into the enterprise market.

someone should tell HSBC that the e-mail app is still unreliable.
Huh? Only MobileMe is currently unreliable. Exchange Push works great, in fact annoyingly great.
This could be a great boon to iPhone in Enterprise. Next... Boeing, Nintendo, Chase.
