Now that BlackBerry has finally overtaken the iPhone in total sales, the race is on.<\/p>\n
It doesn’t cost as much. It’s available in so many places that it’s said to be ubiquitous. But like runners-up everywhere, according to First Quarter 2009 sales statistics, the iPhone is now in second place. How do you like those apples, Apple? Research in Motion’s BlackBerry Curve is officially the most popular U.S. smartphone.<\/p>\n
The smartphone list of bestsellers was primarily BlackBerry territory, as several types of BlackBerry sets made the list. Hip Hooray for RIM, of course, but since the iPhone is only available from a single source (AT &T), is it surprising that Apple’s pride and joy has suddenly morphed into an also-ran? Every major carrier makes BlackBerry’s devices ubiquitous, but if that’s the case, why is it still a race? Why has it taken this long for the Curve to emerge as numero uno?<\/p>\n
