Default Iphone or Palm Pre will beat BB

I already bought a Palm pre, and I simply have an issue with apple even though I've never bought an apple product. Zune ftw!

Bust honestly think about it this way. You walk into the cellphone store (whichever carrier) and you say, "do you have the iphone?" they show you iphone. If you say "do you have the palm/ Palm Pre?" they show you a palm pre, and if you walk in and say "do you have blackberry?" they show you FIVE TO SEVEN different blackberries to choose from. I assume most people on this forum are techsavvy enough to know most of the differences between these phones without needing help, but the bulk of smart phone consumers are NOT tech savvy, and prefer the less difficult choice.

You can go with IPhone which is "its iphone... it does everything!"
You can go with Palm pre "its Palm pre... It does everything!"
You can go with Blackberry "its blackberry... this one does this, this one does this better, this one does this a different way, this one flips, this one you touch, this one multitasks, etc. etc."

1 of the three is gonna scare away the non tech savvy customers. Can you guess which one?

Blackberry can't say one phone does EVERYTHING because they have so many phones that do different things. the average consumer doesnt like difficult choices.
