Hey guys, I'm new to this forum. I just have a quick question. I was recently in Novi, MI and the majority of the smartphones were android phones. I also notice this when I go to Buffalo, NY. Myself, I live in Ontario.
All three major carriers in Canada advertise android phones and tablets constantly, rarely acknowledging that they all carry the iPhone 4. In every Best Buy and other electronic stores the demo shelves are dominated by the Galaxy S, Atrix, and an assortment of HTC phones that all look the same. However, NOBODY has Android phones. In the last year I have literally seen 3 android phones. In the unscientific survey in my head, 60% of all smartphones are blackberries, 38% are iPhones, and the rest are other.
Does anyone know why this ridiculously discrepancy between Canada (ontario at least) and the US happens? Android has been reserved for the ubernerds here. Blackberry is for the "cool" kids and all the "posers", and iPhone users are just the blackberry "traitors." WP7 is non existent but also marketed hard.
