Its funny because its true. What a dirt phone from RIM.
The Storm is a good product now that the software has been upgraded. Those who disparage a product typically do it either from fear or ignorance. Which one are you?
You can have a preference all day long. When you sell a product talking about how bad it is that selling on ignorance.
As an AT&T agent I have to sell against the iPhone as well as the Storm. If someone walks into my store asking about either, it's not my job to talk myself out of a sale.
Obviously, actual return numbers are considered confidential and not something readily available to the average consumer, and you know just as well as I do that initial sales numbers don't speak to the quality of a device.

The iPhone/Storm sucks. Everyone returns those phones and they are full of bugs. You don't want it. It can't even do pictures.

Come on, you know me better than that.
Only the first example is selling against the phone based on its shortcomings. The second example is just an opinion with no supporting evidence.
I don't think anyone doubts that people who say something "sucks" have no sales credibility.

I was just saying that negative opinions can be informed and sound opinions as well. Someone can disparage a product because they just don't like it.
but as an excor att store rep and now an indirect agent for vzw , tmo , and att ...

there really is NO comparision of the two ...
Iphone = consumer device with business support
Storm = Business device with some consumer features ....
both are good devices the problem with the storm is alot of BB users were like YES !!!!!!!!! a BB with touchscreen and i can use it for business with no problems ...
well that they failed to understand is that yes the iphone had bugs and took a while to ...

And remember Tao, I may now ALSO sell Verizon but I still own AT&T locations.

Dirt phone? And this is based upon what exactly? The iPhone was a bug ridden POS when it launched and the 3G didn't improve upon the shoddy launch record.

What bugs are you talking about. The IPhone 3G is probably the best phone the the country do to the fact that when you compare a new phone, 9/10 people will compare the new phone to the IPhone 3G.
its SH*T.
not the iPhone, but AT&T.
AT&T has low ratings.
