Anyone else kind of shocked by these smartphone stats?

Interesting, but doesn’t surprise me. Not too many kids going to get mom or dad to buy into getting them a smartphone. As price comes down and plans follow it will be interesting to see these stats in 6 months or a year!!!

I am 46 and have been using a Metro PCS phone for seven years and have been happy with it (I can hear your groans). However, in the last six months I have begun to feel very OLD because I read blogs on this stuff and realize I don’t have a single clue. Not. A. Single. Clue. I AM old, lol.

Anyhow, just found this blog tonight, and it’s clear-cut and I’m learning. The reason I’ve started reading more is because I am buying an iPhone 4 in the next 2-3 days and am very excited about how it ‘s going to help me manage LIFE — swim team volunteer activities, charitable volunteer activities, kids’ school / activity schedules, husband’s volunteer schedule w/swim and tennis, work, etc.

So, as word spreads and the older generations see how it can help them, too, the numbers will change. And with the $50 deal on iPhone3 AT&T offered, the number of younger kids who have a smartphone will increase. We’ll probably get our 14yo one when we get our iPhone 4s. In fact, that chart goes up to Jan ’11 — when did AT&T put the phone on sale?

Now, what does RIM mean?

Thanks for the blog, Jeff.
