		<description>I apologize to anyone offended by the aggressiveness what I am about to say next, but,

Rock, if you are going to &quot;try&quot; to come at me on my own blog, as Jim Rome would say, &quot;Have a take and don&#039;t suck!&quot;  I actually read many of the same articles that you skim over, the difference being, I don&#039;t try to pick out words individually in an effort try to support your grail quest type crusade to personally get everyone  visiting a BlackBerry blog to think that the BlackBerry sucks, Verizon sucks, and that we should all be grateful to Steve Jobs for sharing his vision of what a smartphone should be to the world.

You really need some new material.  You&#039;ve been saying the same stuff  with multiple incarnations here for years.  It&#039;s your prerogative if you insist on repeating the same ole, tired, easily debunked, opinions that  you have about the BlackBerry, but, quite honestly, I have grown board with reading the same thing in most every comment you leave.

A very smart man once said &quot;Doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results is insanity.</description>

		<description>What you are stating, Rock, is not quite right.  It&#039;s exactly wrong, to be more precise.  

The iPhone 3G S, according to the Nielsen Company report cited in the Mobile Crunch post that you reference, is the number one selling smartphone in the U.S. January through October.  The iPhone 3G nor iPhone make the top ten.

The BlackBerry Curve does trail the iPhone 3G S by .3 percentage points with 3.7% share, however, the  BlackBerry Storm and the BlackBerry 81XX make the top ten list in spots 7 and 1o with with 1.4% and 1.2% share respectively.  

The title of this post states that RIM dominates the smartphone market, not that a particular BlackBerry device dominates the smartphone market.  Even though failed to mention that the very post you clearly have misinterpreted says that RIM&#039;s share is nearly double that of Apples, the Nielsen Company report actually reinforces the points that I&#039;ve made  here.

RIM dominates the U.S. smartphone market, it isn&#039;t really all that close, and they are gaining ground.</description>

		<description>Uh.... No reason to try and change subject or desperately try to change reality into dreamland.  Embrace the truth, Mobilecrunch reported reality on 12/22/09 The iPhone is Now The Most Popular Phone In The US, which both trumps and DEBUNKS the data the thread was based on, which was half-baked at best.

Oh poor verizon and RIM smartphones fanboys.  &quot;Contrary To Popular Belief, Apple&#039;s iPhone really does Dominate The U.S. Smartphone Market.&quot;  The truth is out and reality is always better than desperate dreams.  The TRUTH is that poor verizon wireless and poor RIM smartphones have both been pasted right by, by state of the art, standard, open, global communications,  Thanks to at&amp;t and Apple.

TRUTH and REALITY!

and a bababooie to yall!</description>

		<description>Uh...two models are available.  3G, 3GS.   AT&amp;T sells both.

Interesting review from PC Magazine on how the Bold2 9700 gained better reception than the iPhone 3Gs, side by side.  Oh, and the 9700 model was the AT&amp;T version, on open, state of the art, global standard communications.</description>

		<description>WHAT WHAT WHAT!

Hold onto your panties...  REALITY has been uncovered, and I&#039;m not talking about the desperate person above claiming their name is AT&amp;T or that I work for them or any other wireless company, oh the truth hurts verizon users so.

iPhone Now The Most Popular Phone In The US
http://www.mobilecrunch.com/2009/12/22/iphone-3g-now-the-most-popular-phone-in-the-us/

Not bad for a device available for just one US service provider, Not bad for device which only has one model for sale, Not bad for a company which never made a smartphone prior to 1/2007.  OH the TRUTH is out and no wonder why big red is so desperate and trying to hold consumers off from upgrading to at&amp;t and the iPhone by continuing to claim that the iPhone is somehow coming to the verzion network... NOT!

Oh poor verizon and poor RIM smartphones and state of the art, standard, open, global communications have pasted both right by.</description>
