iPhone exceeds RAZR in the U.S.
The statistics confirm the U.S. research firm NPD Group. The phone Apple thanks to its excellent performance has surpassed the United States the Motorola RAZR V3. The figure refers to the last few days and, besides being a confirmation of success dell’iPhone, is significant because the Motorola phone is sold by six mobile operators while Apple has chosen AT & T as the exclusive carrier.
In third place remains Established the BlackBerry Curve, followed dall’LG Rumor dall’LG and V2. This is of course a given restricted to the U.S., as the RAZR (understood as “family” of models) sold in the world some 60 million copies, while the iPhone is strong (you say) to 7 million.
The interesting fact, as pointed out Ross Rubin, director of NPD, is that four of the five most phones sold in the U.S. are optimized for mail and Internet functions for the advanced. The other point worth noting is that the iPhone represents a kind of shift of consumers: “from fashion to fashionable functionality” (a mobile design now prefer terminals on features appealing.)
And for owners dell’iPhone there are also good news on the reliability front. According to a study done by research firm the American Square Trade melafonino would have a rate of malfunction (in the first year of life) of 5.6% compared to 11, 9% of the Blackberry. The Palm Treo can do even worse with 16.2%.
Unfortunately, the statistics can not be extended to two years, a more reasonable and meaningful to assess the reliability, because the 3G iPhone is not on the market for so long. In this period the Blackberry salt instead to 14.3% and Palm at 21%. It is estimated that the iPhone is expected to remain around a percentage of between 9 and 11%.
The most common causes of failure would be linked to its touchscreen interface: about 30% of cases. Rather interesting to note that the iPhone is more prone to accidental damage (12% by the year against an average of 9% for other phones), confirming a certain fragility and, according to analysts at a low “maneuverability “.
Also good news regarding the much bistrattata battery (not removable) that has problems in 0.5% of cases within the first year, against an average double of the other phones: 1%.
