Please people will you make up your mind!

I think that I have had enough of all this blackberry/iphone stuff. Is it me or was it not 2 weeks ago that the reports all over the internet were talking about how apple's sales were not growing and how blackberry still is far ahead its competitors and growing(40% ownership of market share). Now fast forward to this stupid survey( which gets data for less than 1% of the real total of the owners) which all of sudden says that blackberry owner want to leave for iphone. Now correct me if I'm wrong here but when apple first came out with the 1st iphone more than 50% of all the sales were new contracts from other carriers who owned other phone and that broke contracts to get the iphone. So why then if so many blackberry people want the iphone does their numbers keep getting bigger and iphone sales stay still? If I want something I go it. No matter the cancellation fees. I don't keep buying more of a product that I want to leave alone. So the surveys results aren't legit. If people really want to come over sales would show that people are doing such, that's just bottom line people. Much less do I buy the whole"blackberry only for business use" for their jobs when the multi million dollar company I work for has more blackberry personal phones than any other phone. And not to mention people like boy genius review basically calling the latest blackberries as close to perfection as possible for a phone. Oh and the blackberry curve beating out the iphone as the #1 selling smartphone when the iphone first came out(which was some of their biggest numbers). Plus if I did a survey, like these folks, for people at my job and posted their thoughts as facts over the whole industry of blackberries they would show that the blackberry is the most used phone period and that most people don't like iphone or any other phone when put in place over a blackberry. But I can't go making that statement can I?

Look the iphone is a great phone, I doubt it needs over hyped up surveys to help them. If they continue to do what they have done then they will always remain in the thick of the battle. But this in no way removes blackberry from it place at the top nor from history. There is but one crackberry and we all know it to be true. But one phone doesn't have to fall for the other to be a success. Why can't you just accept that the iphone pulls iphone lovers and blackberry pulls blackberry lovers and be done with it. Surveys don't change that nor does lies. Live with it and move on with your lives people.
