iPhone 3G gives more satisfaction than BlackBerry Storm

How satisfied are you with your smartphone ? This was the question asked by ChangeWave to 4000 owners of such a mobile device in the U.S. The study focused more particularly on the popular iPhone 3G by Apple and its recent competitor -the BlackBerry Storm- the touch-screen released by RIM.

The results of the study won't come as a great surprise: the iPhone wins with flying colors over the BlackBerry Storm. 77% of the owners of the phone "Made in Apple" report to be "very satsified" whereas a mere 33% of the RIM smartphone users said to be so. Moreover 14% of the Storm owners claimed to be "unsatisfied". By contrast, this was the case of only 5% of the iPhone users.

These results may however still change. Paul Carton, research director at ChangeWave underlines that the Storm is a recent product that can still evolve. "Competitve pressure may have caused the Storm to be launched before it was quite ready for prime time". According to him, the correction of the Storm's bugs could modify the conclusions of this survey. This had already been the case with the previous iPhone-killer, the HTC Touch Diamond. A new firmware had totally changed its offerings a few weeks after its launch.
