So in reality, there were about 450-500 non-smartphone users, 140 BB, 160 or so iphone, etc etc. So the sample size is just too small for EACH platform. Clearly shown in the +/-10 which is a huge margin of error.
2) The data was a WEB POLL. Highly unreliable to begin with.
3) We have NO CLUE who voted, if they were allowed to vote multiple times to skew the data, what areas they are from, etc etc.
4) are these consumers, corporate users, etc? It makes a difference because no matter what people say in a poll, if they arent the owners of the phone (company phone) what they want doesnt matter because theyre tied to it.
5) Again, BB wasnt even a choice on the survey, while Android and Apple were (to recommend or stay with) so the results are clearly there to be biased to begin with.
There's simply NO stats on data collection provided. First telltale sign of something fishy. Go look at how Gallup collects data (properly).
