Ahh yes. I know exactly what you mean. I have an old RAZR that sits in a drawer waiting to be called on again. After I went swimming with my last iPhone, it got that call for a month or so and worked great the whole time. I think those things are pretty indestructible.]]>Dec 22nd 2009 8:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/22/nielsen-stats-a-lot-of-iphones-out-there-but-also-a-lot-of-eve/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/22/nielsen-stats-a-lot-of-iphones-out-there-but-also-a-lot-of-eve/Dec 22nd 2009 11:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/22/nielsen-stats-a-lot-of-iphones-out-there-but-also-a-lot-of-eve/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/22/nielsen-stats-a-lot-of-iphones-out-there-but-also-a-lot-of-eve/

Seriously? Did you even try to read?

"Needless to say, that doesn't mean the ancient V3 line is still in third place for sales -- it's more a testament to the staggeringly huge RAZR user base Moto managed to develop over the years, many of whom scored their phones at sub-$100 price points as an attractive, midrange value in the phone's twilight and have no intention of upgrading any time soon if they don't have to."]]>Dec 22nd 2009 7:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/22/nielsen-stats-a-lot-of-iphones-out-there-but-also-a-lot-of-eve/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/22/nielsen-stats-a-lot-of-iphones-out-there-but-also-a-lot-of-eve/
Dude if you can get a prepaid RAZR with T-Mobiles 1000 minutes that last a whole year for $100, that a lot of money you save.

Everyone wants a touch screen phone with internet, but i only make 35K a year, so i need to buy what i can afford.

I'm calling YOUR reading comprehension into question.

He wants to know who still buys them.

Valid question.

Had he said "why are people still buying RAZRs?" then your post might have some merit.

The problem is that feature phones don't change much... but smartphones keep adding goodies every time...

hahaha

Definitely not financially sensible. In the last two months, I have had the Samsung Moment, HTC Hero, and Eris. Finally settled on the Hero.

Now the Nexus One is killing me.

How is Opera on the phone(s)?

I still use that nokia as flashlight... it was specially useful when i was on vacation in Florida and a hurricane came up. :S

Opera Mini 4.2 is great, but Opera Mini 5 beta 2 is the best thing they could have ever made since sliced bread.... ! I mean you even have tabs on the thing, the speed dial, I love it. It renders the page fully, and over Opera Mobile 10, you can choose the imagine quality. Check the demo:

No it doesn't. It specifically says 3G iPhone. That means it's not the 3GS or the Edge iPhone.

Which also means it's not exactly accurate on the chart. I'm wondering why, if they're going to put an entire SERIES of phones from moto and RIM up there, can't they put the entire iPhone series up too? Why are they comparing a single iPhone model to an entire series of phones from RIM?

I guess if they did that they would have to break the iPhone down into its 8, 16 and 32 GB variants. Besides, the 3GS is more akin to the Bold than the Curve.

What's interesting is that the 3GS doesn't appear at all. That seems a bit odd.]]>Dec 23rd 2009 2:51AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/22/nielsen-stats-a-lot-of-iphones-out-there-but-also-a-lot-of-eve/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/22/nielsen-stats-a-lot-of-iphones-out-there-but-also-a-lot-of-eve/

How in the world is the Rant so popular? It has pretty decent hardware, but the firmware is a piece of crap. I can create a HUGE list of problems with the Rant's firmware, but I'm not even gonna bother. I'm already on my 3rd Rant within the last year, due to the firmware crapping out on me (the Sprint rep told me the last one was due to a bent phone when I could clearly tell it wasn't bent). I could just have really bad luck with this phone, but I've definitely had my fair share of problems.

The one thing I can definitely say was good was the GPS/Traffic functionality. It has gotten me out of tight spots before (Like I said, I travel between LA and OC a lot). Plus it's a huge upgrade in performance compared to the LG Rumor that I had before. That's probably the only thing I know of that was pretty good... And YouTube functionality, though the service was pretty spotty.]]>Dec 22nd 2009 7:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/22/nielsen-stats-a-lot-of-iphones-out-there-but-also-a-lot-of-eve/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/22/nielsen-stats-a-lot-of-iphones-out-there-but-also-a-lot-of-eve/
