HSBC placing a 200,000 unit iPhone order?

Reader Tim knocked me over this link from the Boy Genius Report — quoting ZDNet Australia who reckon HSBC is considering dumping Blackberry for iPhone.

The iPhone is most certainly useful now that it’s got Exchange — it does work, and very well. That’s connected the dots for me — contacts sync, calendar sync and so on.

But if there’s any accuracy in this, HSBC are going to have to buy a 800,000 iPhone remote chargers. Enough for 4 each.

One for the bedside.

One for the car.

One for the office.

One for out-and-about.

The iPhone is a super unit for business purposes — in concept. The browser, the maps, the smart, simple easy interface that *anyone* can use… But the battery. Oh dear, the battery…

If you, er, order an iPhone from Carphone Warehouse’s site, you’ll see this rather concerning delivery note (in bright red) at the order page:

Bear in mind it’s Sunday evening on the 27th of July and the ordering system here is promising to have my new iPhone delivered to me by Friday 25th.

Doesn’t fill you full of confidence, does it?
