Hell, some probably have to talk the store into selling it to them, or have to order it and wait for it. That's a BIG filter that removes anyone who wasn't totally committed to BB.<br /><br />If you walk in ANY carrier store and say the word "iPhone", you'll be sold one in a couple of minutes and you'll be on your way, and unlike Z30s, many people buying them are non-technical people, with some never even having owned a smartphone before. Virtually every Z30 owner not only has owned a smartphone before, most of them have owned Z10s (or maybe a Q10) before.</p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <hr /> <p><strong>COMMENT re: z30 <br /></strong></p> <p>If you know anything about taking surveys with scientifically-valid samples, you'll understand why this is different, and why the review results are going to be skewed.<br /><br />Again, I'm not trying to take anything away from the phone itself; it's the best BB10 phone to date, without a doubt, but comparing a phone that's sold MAYBE 100K units in the US to hard-core fans of the platform to a phone that's sold 5+M units to both fans AND non-techie/non-fanboy folks just can't be compared directly.</p>
