Update Tuesday 13:37: The Phone House denies that they are of the Vigor online. “The screenshot is well-recreated, but is wrong on several points”, says marketing manager Mark Bosch. “Telefoonafbeeldingen have a maximum width of 115 pixels and the color of the unit is shown below. A delivery time of 1 to 2 months we cannot enter in our system. In addition, we may, but up to five ‘bullets’ to enter, while the screenshot there are six shows. Moreover, knocking the fonts do not.”
Bosch, incidentally, is not bothered at all the ‘leak’. “It’s good for our ‘link building’, because everyone has a link to us. I’m very honored that someone has used to leak, but we are in this case not the source.” Bosch says no idea who the shot is made.
