i'll touch. i think its the idea that people aren't evaluating which phone is the right one for them, or what features are going to be useful to them, and are instead saying "i gots to get me that fancy phone that everyone else has."
so who knows. people here know bb is the best choice for them. i'm sure the iphone is the right phone for some other people. the problem is that its very hard to make an informed decision without actually trying the device for awhile, which is kind of hard when you have to carry a 2 or 3 year contract when you get the device. so rather than doing research, people follow the crowd.
