For the first time since Android was released, it finally sold more phones than the iPhone. NPD Group is reporting that Android is the number two selling platform behind Blackberry in the US. Blackberries account for 36% of the market share, Android has 28% while the iPhone brings up the rear with 21%.
Watch your back Blackberry because you’re next. This is awesome news and we can thank the Droid and the Incredible for being a big part of this gain. There’s going to be a brawl this summer when the 4G iPhone is release alongside a slew of Android devices that include high, mid and low-end phones. Android will continue on it’s upwards trend due to various carrier and manufacturer support. Anyone still complaining about fragmentation now or do you think Google’s strategy is going well?

I think they're even cheaper at our store.

Don't forget, most businesses issue curves as well and buy them in bulk. So, it's almost unfair in that regard.
Are your contracts in the states much more expensive than in the UK?
I just got a new HTC Desire (Android 2.1) on Orange UK free for 30 a month.
18 months
1200 cross network mins
unlimited orange to orange calls
500 txts
unlimited data
4Gb sd card
That was a loyalty deal but if you shout at the networks enough they are usually pretty good at getting the prices down.
If you spend more than 30 a month in the UK there is pretty much no phone you can't get for free with a contract. (excluding iPhone of course)
