The only people I call which don't have smartphones are my grandmother and my father in law. I got one friend with a blackberry and one with an Android Phone. Every other one has an iPhone. This includes friends of my wife, mom, dad, even my mother in law who is close to 70. Granted I am from Austria where cell plans with data are 15 dollars a month and which has the second highest iPhone penetration in the world. But usually what happens here moves to Germany 3 years down the line (in mobile phones only). SMS are virtually free anyway as we get 100s or 1000s included. The network is good and the companies still make money so I guess the carriers dont need to move anywhere if they are content to be a commodity business. They will need to sell some of the swanky shops they have on the streets and become a little more like my ISP.
