Riverside, CA | Law of Averages? There some questions I have about a study such as this.
1. Does SquareTrade insure more Blackberries/Treos than iPhones? Did they take a look at an even number of Blackberries, Treos, and iPhones over the same exact dates? What models of Blackberries, Treos, and iPhones ( I assume non-3G iPhones) were looked at?
2. This article data is made up of user complaints. Thus, trying to use their insurance. What kind of people own an iPhone versus a Blackberry? If iPhone users are predominantly average consumers, than I would say that a lot of owners might not notice problems. Thus, never reporting it.
3. This blog title is misleading since they project that the iPhone is NOT twice as reliable than as Blackberries after two years. |

| Furthermore, does Square Trade even insure for companies? I'd imagine most companies have an equipment replacement deal built into their carrier contract, and don't mess with a third party "insurance" vendor.
All in all, this seems like a pretty idiotic "study". |
