Oh, and Ali ducks the punch and comes back with a right hook of his own! Asus – speaking with DigiTimes – says that Garminfone sales are doing just fine. This was in direct response to an analyst – Yair Reiner for Morgan Keegan – who claimed no stores sold more than 5 handsets based on a survey of 50 T-Mobile retail stores.
Asustek said that shipments to T-Mobile are as previously planned and has received positive demand from the consumer market.
We can’t say who’s more accurate in their claims (Asus, of course, has access to their own sales records, but I can’t imagine they’ll be speaking too much more about this manner anytime soon), but hesitation to address sales figures has never been a good sign for any handset manufacturer.
