Perhaps due to the limited no of network carrires for I-phone 3GS? Blackberry is available on all networks, Iphone is just AT&T in the States and O2 in the UK? There is a lot of fuss about which phone to have and in the past I have tended to stray away from apple due too everyone elses need for one however when it comes down to it I always seem to end up with an inferior device so I think I will buy an i-phone next.

iPhone is hype bought by people who need to be cool.
BlackBerry is real use.

Why is it hard to believe such a believable report? :)

yay! i have BlackBerry Pearl, although i'm not sure i will contribute to that stat for long. i may be switching to the iPhone for all its nifty apps. are these stats compiled by equal times the phones have been in the market or sales made strictly within the quarter?

Rob brings up a very valid point. Bias "report" is bias.

Wasn't the iPhone 3GS launched on June 19? That would mean that the 3GS only had 10 days in Q2 vs. 90 for the curve.

The report linked to barely mentions smartphones... I'm wondering how Blackberry overall fared against Apple? With Blackberry taking #1, 3, 5 and 6, compared to Apple's #2 and 4, it makes them look pretty dominant still in the smartphone market.

And the Blackberry Tour just hit Verizon this qtr, so it will be interesting to see how that affects the list next qtr.
