After working 14 years in sales (Not Phones) I can tell everyone that most of the time sales people make the most money pushing the stuff that is least popular. This is because the manufacturers know when they have a hot product and profit margin is much lower on items like that. AT&T and Apple don't have to pay anyone to make the iPhone's disappear off those shelves. I would assume Android and AT&T branded devices are the highest margin devices and therefore pay out the highest commission.
I will tell you that sales people get tired of people looking at them like they have three heads when they recommend a Blackberry or Android to customers who came in looking an iPhone and because of that, and laziness, the mediocre sales people usually drift whatever way the customers are blowing.
Then you have inventory issues. You have 300 iPhone's in stock and09810's, you gotta sell the customer something NOW, because if you don't then the chances of that sale showing up on your commission check at the end of the month are "Slim to None" and "Slim is Dead".

If I were a belt-belt clip type guy I would be getting ready to hit the go button on that one!

You would think RIM, or somebody, would make a case with metal contacts that would fit in the charging stand or would fit in a purpose made charge stand that comes with the case. You know it would sell. There must be gillions of people who don't get the charge cradle because it doesn't work with a case.
All it would need is a notched bottom and contacts so it fits in the cradles they already. make.

If this thing isn't perfect in every aspect, you'll see all the threads with people crying like little school girls.Does anyone else find it funny that with the 9900 release now on the horizon, we have shifted gears from bi$?hing about it taking so long, to what cases we should buy.... got to love Crackberry!
10-24-11 08:42 PM - Oh I know, we have been through a couple of releases together! Honestly I have been avoiding the forums so I do not go insane.....well any MORE insane....Just wait until it releases.

- And people like me. I'm the opposite. I don't buy cases, because I love the charging cradle and don't want to constantly remove it to charge.There must be gillions of people who don't get the charge cradle because it doesn't work with a case.
Now that I see the Casemate barely there case does work with the cradle, I will likely buy a case.10-24-11 08:52 PM
