Cingular 8525
The Cingular 8525 is two things, if anything. Where it's at in cellphone technology, and the perfect example to show you how stupid cellphone carriers are. You can look up the phone on google and find out why its "where it's at in cellphone technology", but I'll clue you in on how stupid cellphone carriers are. In a world where 1/4 of people who switch carriers do it because of new phone models.
Cellphone carriers have NO IDEA WHAT THEY ARE DOING.
I don't mean to say they have no concept of what they should be doing, because that's an obvious observation that anyone could make. I'm saying that they don't even fully grasp their own supply chains. Lets look at example a. You'll notice that Cingular believed it would have the 8525 out for a Sept 24th rebate? If you look at my buisness leaks post, you'll notice they also gave a presentation to their buisness sale's people that marked it's release as Oct 29th.
It's November 1st people. And they're still playing with themselves.
This means that within 2month's of the release of a product, Cingular still does not know when they're release date is going to be. That says A LOT about supply chain management.
