[IxDA Discuss] iPhone, who's buying...

[Tracy Boyington]

I'm thinking about people near and dear to me, possibly even people I'm
married to (ahem), who will get it into their heads that they want
something new NOW, and if their first choice is not available, they'll
buy the next best thing. I wouldn't be surprised if a good number of
them walk into an Apple or ATTingular store, find the iPhone has a long
waiting list, and say "What other kewl smart phones do you have?"

I've been paying attention to other phone ads the past few days.

The Blackjack is on sale through tomorrow at AT&T stores for half off. 
And I got a "You've bought electronics through Amazon, so we thought
we'd send you this add for smart phones" thing by e-mail two days ago.

Both of those smack me as "Since you're undoubtedly thinking about new
phones this week, think about this phone/this purchase location" ploys
to pull customers.  (Where they miss, though, is that I'm *not* thinking
about other phones, I'm thinking about the iPhone.  Period.)
