Vodafone is struggling to meet demand for the new Blackberry Storm phone, its chief executive said today.
Vittorio Colao told a small group of journalists after a speech at an Ofcom event that the phone was selling very well.
"We might end up having a problem with giving enough Storms to as many customers who want it," he said. "It's going very well, we might be short of them, to be honest."
The first touch-screen Blackberry smartphone went on sale in Britain earlier this month and Vodafone, its exclusive UK sales partner, had already said thousands of customers pre-ordered the device.
Colao also suggested the company was looking at devices with the Android operating system from Google but was not ready to announce anything yet.
"We are not religious on operating systems," he said, without giving any further details.
