[Chris Harlan] “Dude, you are obsessing.”

hehehe no more than anyone else who is responding to some flip comment I made days ago.

I know there are plenty of reasons why people choose a particular phone.

That’s the whole point I was making in the first place.

People make their decisions based on what THEY want.

I use that to capitalize off of treads.

If I see a trend (or what I think is one) I try to get ahead of it so I can benefit.

That seems simple to understand to me.

[Tony West]

OK Chris I will do that,

I will just chalk my work place up to a fluke.

But just so you know what I’m dealing with, here is what colored my view.

This could be a case of people just copying people around them and I’m sure you guys could put up a list that looks totally different.

As a joke last night I was going to gather everyone outside the TV truck and have them hold up their phones and post that pic hehehe

Anyway I hope you can see why I feel Iphoned out.

[Walter Soyka] “How can we compare apples to apples?”

By talking about phones that came out in at least the same year for one thing.

Yeah, you can get a 2 or 3 year old Iphone for free but most people don’t want a phone that old.

You can get a smart from another brand that came out this year for free. You can’t get that 4s for free. That’s all I’m say’in

dude, I don’t really care that much about these phones

My point about people cracking on the Iphone or X early is not to say that either did or didn’t deserve it.

My point is even if the DO deserver it it didn’t matter. People bought them anyway.

You understand what I’m saying Walter? They bought them ANYWAY.

They didn’t care.

I predict that many people will keep buying X. I could be wrong, but I don’t think so, and if you lived in my town I would bet you money on that : )

[Tony West]

Right, this phone is cheaper than the Iphone 4

[Tony West]

So one version back would make it the equivalent of the Iphone 4 which you said was 99

So……cheaper at free

[Tony West]

AT&T

[Tony West]

apples to apples

4s is the newest iphone and the cheapest deal I see on AT is 199

a new fx is free

[Tony West]

and 4s?

[Tony West]

[Walter Soyka] ” iPhone 4 on Verizon for $99″

Is that the 4s or just the 4?

I see the fX droid for Free with a contract.

[Shawn Miller] “I thought it was (initially) that iPhones are more popular “

My first point was that when the iphone first came out people with other smart phones cracked on the iphone and said it was missing this and that.

Kind of like they did with X

People saying it could do what the other phones could do didn’t stop people from buying it in droves.
(It won’t stop them from buying X)

My other point is that sometimes something doesn’t have to be the best to be really popular.

My point about the crew having so many Iphones is that sales numbers don’t tell the whole story.

For example, someone who wants the Iphone but can’t afford one is not the same thing as not wanting one.

When I look at a crew of people with means, money is factored out. They can buy what they want and
most of them have the Iphone.

What people want and can’t afford doesn’t show up in the sales numbers.

To me it’s more accurate to look at if you can afford whatever you want, what do you buy then.

Understand?
