HTC: I won’t allow the media to compare Touch Diamond with iPhone 3G

HTC - WE CONTROL YOU
A reporter from Taiwan told me this, I am not sure whether it is real
or not. In case you don’t know, technology reporters borrow the
products in order to write a review. They always contact the
manufacturers, and manufacturer will lend the products to reporters
through public relations representatives for a short period of time.
The reporters will then test the product and tell you everything about
it based on their experience.
So a reporter wants to test the HTC Touch Diamond and write a review.
He asks the PR representative to lend him the HTC Touch Diamond. But,
the representative told him, “I won’t let you to compare the HTC Touch
Diamond with iPhone. You are not allowed to do so. We will feel
unhappy about it”. The representative then said, “If you do not write
positive report of HTC Touch Diamond, we will not lend you the
product. Much more, you won’t be able to lend any future HTC product.
”
If it is true, I feels not right that HTC do this kind of thing.
Reporters are supposed to be fair and balance to write the review.
Much more, if HTC feels comfortable about their product, why would
they afraid the reporters to compare it with the iPhone. And why they
don’t lend the product to the media? Do HTC want to control the media
in anyways?
Please help to Digg this to raise the concern. I am afraid those
positive review about HTC Touch Diamond on the internet may not be
100% accurate. Peter Chou (HTC’s boss), can you explain what has
happened?
Hey Larry I sent then your email address and told them you could be
relied on to give a biased report for anything but the iPhone. You
will be getting your free HTC Touch soon.
HTC unhappy! - "NO MORE iPHONE comparisons to HTC products!"
