Anecdotally, here in Colombia, the Blackberry is very, very popular, even with schoolkids etc. It's much cheaper than an iPhone (the plan is much cheaper too), and it still has some brand power that the LG's etc. don't have. The main features people look for are not so much apps and stuff, it's more: is there an affordable prepaid plan for this, and can I get on Facebook/Twitter/email?
