Apple cuts into RIM's marketshare in latest smartphone survey

Very good point. If Verizon, Sprint or T-Mobile got the iPhone, RIM's Market Share would easily be taken over by Apple. That is pretty crazy to think about. One Thing: There is not a jump in Palm's Market Share at the time the Pre was released... Is this accurate, or was the Pre that bad of a flop?

That was such a crappy argument that I honestly thought you were saying how much the iphone sucks. The Iphone is a good phone, no denying it. ATT sucks though. Anyway, calm down.

I just noticed that Pam issue too. One thing though, it did level out as opposed to continuing to plummet... I think the same would hold true with the Pre though, if it were available with more carriers there numbers would most likely fare better as well. Oh, and theman10?.. If you thought that was an argument for how the iPhone sucks, you're clearly an idiot and NOT theman...

One device and one carrier means that you are only portraying this to one specific group. It is a basic law of Statistics, maybe if you had moved out of your mom's house and gone to college you would understand what I was saying. *HOVA*

First of all, what does what you just said have to do with you saying I'm arguing the iPhone sucks??? Second of all, another basic law of statistics is that being available from multiple locations would obviously increase the scope of customers they can reach, hence further their lead over BB. Are you really this dumb? You yourself said the iPhone is a great phone so WTF are you talking about? Never did I say a word about ATT. I know you're trying to sound really educated but you appear to be falling quite short...

Well if you truly look at the data you'll also see that RIM has had a constant DECLINE since January. The fact that it's not much is true, but nonetheless, it's been a decline the entire year. Fact is, Apple is the only manufacturer in the study who's had ANY increase, and the increase is incredible. If you're gonna bring fighting words, try to bring better facts then idiocratic statistics like ".. 30% of Americans think the earth is flat..Hmmm same number as iPhone users." You need to step up your game and stop being petty.

Idiocratic-peculiar in constitution or temperament. Nice try smart-guy. Like I said go back to school *HOVA* the word you are looking for it idiotic. Also, THAN idiotic, not then idiotic.

Oh theman, I can see I'm gonna have a great time with your comments. Will you now look up the definition for temperament? As you pointed out - idiocratic is peculiar in consititution OR temperament. Do you think you can tell the class how that portion of the definition of the word would work with the way I used it in my sentence? You might just get a GOLD STAR today if you can!!!! BTW, great use of a dictionary, you're headed in the right direction you smart one you.

I'm sorry, iPhone fanboys are by definition "petty" Fact is, LG and HTC also had huge increases in sales. In fact their increases doubled Apple's. Just because I find correlation between flat-earthers and iPhone users does not mean I'm bringing "fighting" words. Maybe if you weren't a sophomoric, you'd understand sarcasm. It isn't my fault you and other iPhonearena people can't seem to read a simple graph (after all 17% of Americans can't even read....I guess I can count you in that statistic)

Ooooh! Let me throw a couple cents at you all! For the record, it isn't this past January that RIM's Market Share has steadily (yet Slowly) fallen... It is since January 2008. Also, it seems like we all efficaciously comprehend how to adequately utilize dictionary.com and synonym.com... @hkphooey: Regarding your comment (15), "...I can definitely afford Apple products. I just think iPhone faggit followers/defenders are idiotic and imature...and basically all around losers." , you seem a bit immature upirself... Just Sayin'.

Obviousl I used a dictionary just so I could tell you exactly how wrong you were. I knew you were wrong and I pointed it out, calm down. Just trying to help you to get your point across, it's pretty hard to understand when you are reading straight ignorance.

So is your answer to my question: no you don't see how it works in the sentence?... If by sophomoric you mean informed and opinionated then that's your opinion. I just get sick of the ridiculous comments on this board that pertain to nothing other then fanboy idealisms and it's nice to finally stir up some actual valid, supported comments... for the most part.

true dat, but then again, I'm having fun at Hova's expense so it is understandable ;)
