> (otherwise why would Android market share be growing?)
Because it's the least-awful alternative if you don't want to go to AT&T. People will live with bad things or bad situations quite well, if they believe they have no choice.
ETA: Of course, for them to have 'no choice' but to go Android, they have to perceive AT&T and/or an iPhone as unacceptable, as well as the other alternatives.
How did you come to that conclusion? I can only speak for myself.
I have been using iphone for 2 years now and I don't see myself getting another one. When I do get another phone (mine working just fine right now) I will move to android based device as soon as my contract is up.
And no I am not leaving because of AT&T, unlike most people my coverage has been fairly good even here in NY. The main reason I am leaving iphone is because I don't like being told how I can use my phone and what I can install, putting artificial limitations. And most importantly, I love having more than one choice.
Is there data out there that most people (in the US) are getting Android phones because they don't want to switch to AT&T (for reasons other than price)?
