Tech crunch says the figures are 28% phones, hence standard phones = 67%. I agree its changing, but I'm not sure how much is forced and how much is through real consumer decision making... you'd need to be a manufacture or a carrier insider to answer that one... I know I'm an extremely impatient person, which means I loose my cool over things like battery life. That impatience usually does make me a minority as I reject half arsed products (sometimes to early). I'm also very busy, and things like worrying about cell phone battery life are really low on my priority list, often I'm only aware when I get the warning beeps while having a conversation. Having to actively worry about my phone ... when others I don't... makes it a useless product to me, it needs to do its job and not make my life more difficult. But I can't help looking at the reported 40% return rate for android phones and start to think there is a problem there... and maybe theres multiple issues going on, battery issues maybe for some, carrier apps yo can't delete reported in other threads here, warranty issues, standard Android UI/usability issues no one has ever fixed. Then theres reports of weird java versions especially compiled for unique chips that aren't library complete/compatible... meaning apps aren't portable. Carriers and manufacturers refusing to supply upgraded firmware, and voiding your warranty if you do it yourself. Its a real mess, and people are complaining and advising people not to buy them. I advised both my parents to hold out for the iPhone 5 because of this, I've heard a few Android owners I work with regretting the purchases. Anway I'm prepared to accept I'm wrong ;)
