Extra Extra , New Hyped phone beats old one... ...meh!

Who considers this news?

The iPhone launches mid summer against no competition except a lame Rokr, and they declare victory over all those who have fall and new year launches.

Guess what, RIM probably won the weel the Bold and Storm launch in, Oh my all hail RIM the iPhone is dead, then the TouchPro/Touch HD all hail HTC, etc.

Seriously, what's the Y2Y sales compared to the Razr, not just the quarter.

And ooooh, so impressive, 6.9 million handset sales... versus Nokia's 120 million, 1/20th ooh impressive.

Seriously, tell me what their sales # s are in the 2nd quarter of next year when they have nothing to launch.

How strange!

The single phone with at least 300% more marketing and press exposure (and money) has also become the most popular in the US. How could this be, even beating a 5-year old phone (at least) with a new model. 

This must be purely on technical merit.

cameras on phones

Its funny... all camera phones SUCK, didnt you know that? even the nokia ones, sure even throw some MP at it... it will still suck.

Another shocker, the Razr SUCKS, Moto have fell right behind other manufacturers at least in the uk for a good number of years now, over taken by the Samsung U series etc... its no surprise America has finally caught up.

We rarely get any requests for OTA settings for the Moto phones, surprisingly few recently.... which is good - since they never get sent out from our internal servers and the Moto site has been banned from our intranet due to it dragging down everything else.

Yes, I have an iphone... no, I never bought it for the camera (£60 O2 upgrade)

It doesn't matter how many pixels a sensor has if it's not getting enough light through small and lousy lens, and very small sensors with high resolution also suffer from large amount of noise. Also, show me a phone with a flash.... then I'll look at the photo capability.

The Nokia N series only sucks less than the iphone camera wise... that's not good enough for me.

How many qualifiers do you need...

"leading handset purchased 
-by adult consumers 
-in the US 
-in the third quarter of 2008"

And what age group is "adult" exactly? 20-35? I would be surpise for Iphone not to lead.

Hmmm...

"More than 43 percent of handset buyers said they needed a camera on their phone"

And they still buy the iPhone?

Does not compute, does not compute...

You get better images on a Roman mosaic!

They do have things like the N95 and the Sony cybershot phones in A Merry Car don't they?

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?
