iPhones Exist - Why would you have a Blackberry?

June 17, 2011

Seriously who still uses a Blackberry? I don't know anybody that owns one and is actually proud of it. Recently my mother, father, and sister all converted. They can't stop raving about the iPhone. I witnessed my good friend Josh Brown have an Blackberry for like a month. This is the same guy who has owned $AAPL everything for as long as I've known him. He's been buying the stock since 2005. He is the last person on earth that I could picture having one of these silly gadgets. The excuse when I would bust his chops was, "I'm just waiting for Verizon ($VZ) to get the iPhone".

These days, the 2 people left with Blackberries give me the, "I'm waiting for the new iPhone to come out" excuse. It's never, "I love blackberry". It's never "I don't like the iPhone". It's always either one of the above excuses or, "My company pays for it and they force me to use it". These are the same people who have iPads, and iPods, and have had MACs for years. $AAPL recently came out with a commercial that brilliantly ends with:

"If you don't have an iPhone....well...you don't have an iPhone"

Clearly, I've had one since the beginning and can never use anything else. I'm sorry for getting all fundamental and Mother Goose on you guys, but it's just how I feel. Here's the chart. 'Nuff said:
