"only the 4th best selling phone in the U.S."....
Because going from zero to #4 in an industry where there are literally thousands of options and most of them are free isn't impressive? I'd like to know what you think is...
The iPhone has already over-taken all of Windows Mobile in the U.S. How much better do you want this thing to do?
Not to mention the fact that the profit Apple is making on these devices almost certainly exceeds that of any other phone...
- mattmaroon 19y agoIt's not unimpressive that it jumped to #4, but it's certainly not a sea change either. Not enough that I, were I a carrier, would be jumping through hoops to get it. The deal Apple made with Cingular seems to be far too advantageous for Apple.
- pg 19y ago4th is impressive considering how expensive the iPhone is. It would be even more popular if it were cheaper. And since Apple will probably push down the price, a great deal more market share is theirs for the taking when they choose to.
- mattmaroon 19y agoMaybe. I'm unconvinced they can do so well while tethered to one carrier. The number one selling phone (RAZR V3) has sold over 50 million units. AT&T has 63 million total subscribers.
