Also keep in mind that MS doesn't just barge into a market, blow up the competition right off the bat, and own it until the next big thing. They take it over slowly, methodically, and it sticks.

Also, while it's true that people are signing new 24 month contracts all the time, people are also finishing contracts at about the same rate, so it's a wash.

So while we would all (myself included) would like to think that we know better than MS, at the end of the day MS is a multi-billion dollar company, and we're just a few people that don't own multi-billion tech companies.

Well how did that turn out with windows mobile? I said before I dont know ANYONE that has a windows phone. I went in tmobile the other day and people werent even paying it any attention. Everyone was looking at the mytouch.
