I found your posting was really interesting. It is good one from the Dialaphone side for the Affiliates paying them with extra commission. I am sure that affiliates would have made up their minds and started with this already.

There’s already evidence that it’s coming to networks outside of Vodafone if you know where to look (like maybe a retailer that doesn’t deal with Vodafone and has multiple online storefronts)…

I like the concept, but having played with one am perfectly happy with me iPhone. The Storm has no Wifi. No Wifi. In 2008. On a prosumer-oriented touchscreen smartphone aimed squarely at the iPhone. No Wifi. HSDPA is great and all, but in my house, office, friend’s houses and anywhere covered by Cloud I have superior internet coverage through a 14p chipset and an ickle antenna. Ever tried using iPlayer over EDGE?

Dialaphone sure is sending a clear message by providing said commission. It is one thing to say that one will run a similar deal, but to actually do it in a period of time that could be harder on some companies is a risk that is noticed by many.

Everyone I know working for Vodafone (50+ people) have said it is exclusive to Vodafone.

Ok..Looks like they are trying to sell the Storm very hard. Good incentive for affiliates, though.

Pray tell how you know that this will be coming to Orange and O2?
I have spoken to RIM and they confirmed the technology around the touch screen is actually owned/licensed by Vodafone.
I’d be very surprised if you see this on anything other than Vodafone.
Nice one

Hi Bob,

the email means the payment of commissions On the Storm Mobile phone. As its available on pre order, this means we cannot validate any sales until the phones are delivered to customers. Which is what is stated on the email.
So basically all sales for the black berry storm will be validated 14 days after it has been launched the extra £10 commission will be added manually once the sales have been validated.

Any queries feel free to contact me,

Best regards,

Andrew Chung

Hi Kieron,

I manage the Vodafone affiliate programme at Affiliate Window and I found your post very interesting.
With regards to the comments above on the release of the Blackberry Storm there is a new post on our offers blog. http://offers.affiliatewindow.com/?p=1423
This should hopefully have all the links that you need, creative will be available closer to launch.
If you or any other reader of this thread needs any further information about the Vodafone programme, please feel free to contact me directly.

What do you think about Dialaphone not paying any affiliate commissions until 15th November, announced about a week ago?

I think they may have cash flow issues, not too keen on jumping on the bandwagon to be honest. How can you ask affiliates to push a promotion like this so soon after telling them all they have to wait an extra 2 weeks for payment?

Also - the Storm will be out on Orange and O2 early next year.
