high end consumer devices dont need to wait for special occassions to "go on sale" as they sell themselves at whatever price point...its the cheaper consumer devices that need that xmas push and deals to move units...iphone never had deals for xmas or never will I figure

Waiting until xmas for the best deal is very common because it's when you get to see who's making the best efforts to reach the customer...

You do realize that the majority of BB users are business users and many of those business users have their's paid by their company?

You think large companies care about sales?

That ratio will definitely be smaller with the Storm, trying to snag everyday consumers away from the iPhone, not so much business users.

I'd like to know who they interviewed for that article.

Their first question should have been "how does the iPhone work with your enterprise email system?"

None of the 5 "factors" really have anything to do with "business". Some people may think it's easier to use, but at the same time it doesn't work anywhere near as well as a BlackBerry does in a corporate environment nor is it anywhere near as secure.

I'm guessing they just interviewed every day joe's who own an iPhone and "use it for business" not actual corporate customers (because barely any exist).

The storm is now available on vodaphone and apparently there have been more pre-orders than there were for the iPhone

let the battle begin.
