- I don't want a phone from a defunct manufacturer
- App availability is more significant than platform quality
The first one means I don't want to debug your beta product. The second one prevents me from experimentally getting a bunch of different phones and seeing which one I like better. The third gives me pause when dealing with Blackberry, who have been having huge corporate troubles for years. The fourth is a reminder that if I were to switch there are lots of apps I'd be giving up with no replacement (SmartGo Books comes to mind).
The idea that Apple has everyone brainwashed is really quite absurd. Overpriced? Maybe. Overhyped? Probably. Bad? No.
It's sad when people hate on every piece of tech that isn't their favorite. If they would have came out with a new Bold with OS 7.5 people would bitch. They develop BB10 and people still bitch.
