HSBC Sticking With BlackBerries

Contrary to previous rumors, HSBC won’t be taking the iPhone route but will remain with the BlackBerry camp instead. According to HSBC spokesman Donal McCarthy, “There are no current plans to replace the BlackBerry. It is the business standard.” The business standard, eh? Apparently the whole mix-up appeared after HSBC’s Australia and New Zealand chief information officer Brenton Hush told ZDNet.com.au, “We are actually reviewing iPhones from a HSBC Group perspective … and when I say that, I mean globally.”
