ShadowV7 Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 I can so see someone hearing the wrong end of the conversation.

Cube Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 How does something like this get all the way through the mechanics of a company's design and marketing without somebody spotting the problem? Look at how quickly they changed the name. Almost as if they already had the other name ready. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EchoDesiato Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 Hmm, maybe this was a publicity stunt? Bad publicity is still publicity, is what they say. So in that aspect you could consider it to be clever. I mean, who ever heard of Trekstor before this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
