That also sounds highly unlikely to put it mildly.


People flip phones like candy.

No, they don't.
People have 2 year contracts with penalties.

The numbers in that report are simply unbelievable and unrealistic.

Carriers like to install a bunch of irremovable bullshit (VZW and NFL Mobile, Sprint and NASCAR Mobile, etc) on their smartyphones.

Supply constraints, most likely.

Honestly, I still don't know if I truly want Android or iPhone yet.

I'm gonna have to play with the Atrix (hehe) to see how it feels. I'm really digging it, though. At this point, I would rather wait for iPhone 5 if I don't like the Atrix, but if I feel the Atrix feels nice and it's something I could see myself using, I'm not going to bother.

I'll probably cry come June when I see how beautiful the new iPhone looks, though. :lol:

My Apple laptop and iPhone are some of the best electronics, if not the best, I've ever owned. My boyfriend's Droid acts up a lot now and my iPhone has never had issues like that (although, I guess I haven't really owned one long enough to find out :lol:). Actually, he has had his phone for a little over a year, so it's fair to make a comparison. It has just gotten pretty slow and sometimes unresponsive. Atrix scares me a bit for that reason.

Your iPhone has never had issues, because they don't typically have issues.

I may wait for the iPhone 5, I also heard that Verizon won't get the iPhone 5 until next year sometime, and not in June like AT&T.

So my dare has pretty much shit the bed, it pretty much sounds like im in a paper bag when at my house... not sure why, tried a reset or two, tried taking it back to VZW, they couldn't figure anything out... so Im stuck with this crackling piece until the iPhone or thunderbolt.... I really wanted to hold out until the iphone 5 (4g)... but can't pull that one off now...

Problem Im having now.... iPhone 3g vs. thunderbolt 4g ... both coming out around the same time... Ive been a iphone homer... but im open for debate.... what are the pluses and minuses between the two...
