You got that right. I for one am not willing to “experiment” with a few hundred bucks and a 2 year commitment.

Why would I, when I am more than pleased with all of the sweet goodness associated with an iPhone.
If I were disappointed with my iPhone, then yes, I would “experiment” with other brands.

I like slash gear for their unbias tech news, but you guys with your crap comments about any good story about apple are idiots. Replying to a comment isn’t trollinge smart guy.

It’s a fantastic UI for people who don’t have good eyesight yet barely anybody is buying them. I don’t get it. I do know when my in-laws’ contract is up I will be nudging toward WP7. I think they will be more happy with it.

I’m not sure I can get bored with Android. Once you start messing around with widgets and 3rd party launchers, you have an infinite amount of ways to customize your phone.

This graphic only means one thing, other OS buyers are willing to experiment and try other options,
And liberty to choose is always better then enslavment.

Among all of the IOS phones is anyone shocked that the iphone has the highest loyalty? Loyalty comparisons between systems (ios & android) are relevant as are comparisons within each system. My loyalty is to android and whoever has the best device within that system at the time. Competition within the system breeds excellence.

And I have no problem with that. We could be 3 and 0 if we want. Rather, we decided to challenge ourselves and play 2 ranked teams in a row so our new recruits can get a feel for real college football. No other college football team has the balls to play against 2 top ranked teams for their opening games…. I will admit, a part of the problem that makes us look bad is alot of our fans and ignorant and have big egos. However, what does bashing my college football team have to do with Apple/cell phones? Where’s your school pride, huh? Apple has unparalleled customer service…..lol, just lol. “You’re holding it wrong”. <— Response from Apple for antenna gate.

Plus there is another survey that shows 44% conider switching to WPM…

Ended up not satisfied with HTC. Now waiting for the contract to expire (one more year yikes) so I can get another handset (maybe iPhone, or Nokia with WP8).

Despite what anyone believes there is no perfect platform that everyone should buy.

Either UBS is biased or the people being polled are lying.

I could go on all day about the problems I had when I purchased a Droid. What a waste of money and time.
Bottom line, there must be some reason that Apple has so many loyal fans..and it isn’t because they make a habit of selling junk phones, like my “Droid.”
