O2 uses Twitter to track iPhone 4: already sold out in Dublin


The iPhone 4 went on sale today in seventeen more markets around the world. Here in Ireland, we’ve been treated to a running commentary on just how fast it has been selling out across the country, thanks to Twitter. And it has just now announced that there is not a single iPhone left for sale in Irelands’ capital Dublin, saying “all the iPhones in Dublin city centre have been snapped up already.”

What’s the story?

O2 Ireland Shop has been keeping Ireland up to date on just how fast the most-popular-smartphone-in-the-world-TM has been selling out.

It has also, rather helpfully, been responding to queries that Irish iPhone fans have been sending:

What we think?

If nothing else, this shows that O2 knows its customers. If you were standing in line to buy an iPhone today, where would you be checking for updates?

Perhaps the most amusing outcome was the tweet sent five hours ago stating the iPhone 4 is now available on-line… and one hour later another stating it was now out.
