Sadly, that's the mentality of many of these US college students. I'd kill for the money to get BlackBerry any day. I can't stand iPhones.
I'm going to have an especially hard time when they release a new slider style device.
I'll also add a short story of my experience with many of these people as well.
So they see my PRIV and ask what it is. I tell them the facts about How it's BlackBerry's first android device. Then I get that question about if BlackBerry is still around.
After that I start showing off the features of the keyboard, wowing them heavily with each thing. (most love the scrolling the most) then I hand my device to them and ask them to type on the keyboard. The response I normally get is: "wow, I haven't used a keyboard in forever. That felt kind of nice, I like it."
And here's the kicker line: "if Apple did it, I'd buy it."
