And we think dear ole Bishop Tamaki is a worry...jeez...the Apple cult is out of this world..."starry eyed loons" seems appropriate.
Recordari - do you use your iPhone primarily for personal or business use?
Refer my earlier comment about finding a device that works for you.
iPhone does not suit my usage.
I do not primarily play games, mess around on the internet or shoot crap related to my friends and family; I use my mobile device for business.
How many times have you told colleagues - sorry; can't open that file...sorry; can't hear you...sorry; never received the appointment.
Talk to anyone who works in IT operations - I am not one of them - and they will tell you the problems iPhones present in the business context. They are not made to integrate into existing systems.
You don't have to like it, but that's the way it is...

"Might it be the the iPhone sells well and rates highly for consumer satisfaction because it's actually a better product than the others?"
No. Definitely not.
Have you heard the old saying - "Research is used as a drunk uses a lamp post; more for support than illumination".
Other research (e.g.: Crowd Science study) shows the reason for iPhone satisfaction has nothing to do with functionality; it is solely based on brand loyalty.
Apple relies on this to get away with murder in terms of pure functionality.
The reason I love HTC is because their devices work on all levels.
Ever heard anyone say they love the iPhone as a Phone?!
Not only are my phone conversations crystal clear and uninterrupted, but I can sync between multiple systems meaning exceptional connectivity when I'm travelling internationally (which I do frequently) and at home between various locations and machines...
I challenge anyone to do what I do with my HTC on an iPhone.
As an aside, did you know Conde Naste did a challenge with 3 American journalists who travelled to Russia - one using a printed guidebook, one using an iPhone and the other a Blackberry. They weren't allowed to use anything except the one device they were given to make bookings, find information etc...
The printed guidebook came out on top.
This just backs up the age old argument - you need the right tool for the job you need to do...no matter how "antiquated" it may seem...no matter how uncool the solution is...

Steve...couldn't agree more...the HTC smartphones leave the iPhone for dead. Used this brand for the past 3 years...why more people don't use them here I have no idea...brilliant devices.
I've also used tablets for years...why anyone would choose an untested first generation toy over the industry leaders in touchscreen technology is mad...
The price of the iPad shows who the target is, and it certainly isn't serious users...

Nope. Another overhyped waste of time...snakes, fairytales and apples have always gone hand in hand...
