A system must hit the ground fully ready to do battle these days. Not much time for trial and error.

Does anyone know/care/comprehend that Iphone sales also slowed quite dramatically this year ? How about that BB10 sales have been good in spots (Dubai, London) ?
When did we get to the point that having apps was the make or break aspect of smartphones ?
I think when Americans get criticized (quite rightly,and we do deserve it) for our Jersey-Shore-esque, fast-food devouring lack of attention spans, and thinking of our (amazingly downwards spriraling) descent into some of the worst education standards in the world...one wonders about the guy who walks into a carrier store and says "Sorry, but if this phone doesn't have a dedicated app to let me watch viral Jack-*** videos on Youtube of grown adults glueing their hairy bodies together involving obese men and midgets, then I'm just not buying it." (An aside: On my Iphone, LITERALLY in the time it takes for Pandora to load, I can access it via the browser FASTER.)
Am I wrong to think the overall usability/likeability of the device itself is more wonderful ?
