Is the phone going to be shipped with beta quality software like they did with Storm1? :)

Because it has an "ecosystem" where Apple and others continue to milk you for your funds?
Because every schmuck on the planet has an Apple approved iPhone accessory?
I mean the phone sold maybe 30 million units in all of its incarnations. Other phones have sold more.
So what metric... do you mean the mind numbing drumming and brain washing that's been incessant since the release of the rumors of the phone?
The iPhone is not the dominant device on the market... it is the most dominantly marketed device!

Frankly, even if no other device outsold the iPhone in direct numbers, there's no reason to dismiss the RIM or Nokia products because they use the same OS for various devices, and in the real world, people prefer choice of form factors. 5:1 it seems. Not even counting the WinMo / HTC Samsung LG phones which would likely make it 6:1 or 7:1.

Just sayin...]]>Oct 14th 2009 8:44AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/14/blackberry-storm-2-up-to-something-this-week-social-promiscui/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/14/blackberry-storm-2-up-to-something-this-week-social-promiscui/

The GROWTH RATE! Nokia and HTC are losing market share while iPhone is growing
by leaps and bounds. No smartphone has the growth rate that iPhone has. Not even
RIM can come close to iPhone's growth rate. That's the story.

Actually that's not really true for two reasons.

Firstly, growth has been good but not spectacular. Remember you need to look at the total trend rather than, say, looking at two quarters a year apart which had significantly different market conditions.

Secondly, Nokia's share has decreased bcause the increase in the size if the overall market has been driven by the US. Nokia, as you may know has no real presence in the US. This is relevant because Nokia still dominate every other market where it competes with the iPhone - the last Q v Q comparison showed Nokia increasing sales by another three million units which is more than the iPhone sold ex-US in total.]]>Oct 14th 2009 10:40AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/14/blackberry-storm-2-up-to-something-this-week-social-promiscui/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/14/blackberry-storm-2-up-to-something-this-week-social-promiscui/Oct 14th 2009 12:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/14/blackberry-storm-2-up-to-something-this-week-social-promiscui/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/14/blackberry-storm-2-up-to-something-this-week-social-promiscui/Oct 14th 2009 9:03AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/14/blackberry-storm-2-up-to-something-this-week-social-promiscui/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/14/blackberry-storm-2-up-to-something-this-week-social-promiscui/Oct 14th 2009 9:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/14/blackberry-storm-2-up-to-something-this-week-social-promiscui/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/14/blackberry-storm-2-up-to-something-this-week-social-promiscui/
That's the correct usage of "than" right? Rather than "then".]]>Oct 14th 2009 9:43AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/14/blackberry-storm-2-up-to-something-this-week-social-promiscui/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/14/blackberry-storm-2-up-to-something-this-week-social-promiscui/Oct 14th 2009 10:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/14/blackberry-storm-2-up-to-something-this-week-social-promiscui/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/14/blackberry-storm-2-up-to-something-this-week-social-promiscui/Oct 14th 2009 1:24PM
