Rubbish, me dear Mike, rubbish me boy. Why would any tasseled loafer personage prefer I* over G*, once the G is up and running? (and there appears to only be a 4 month or so I* head start.)
G*'s handset is smaller. That me hardy is HUGE for the cost is no object boy-os. G*'s reception indoors and generally in any challenged situation should, by all indications, be considerably better. (CDMA mutlipath, variable power, and all that.) Big, very big with your typical S&P 500 CEO and CFO, I-banker, M&A attorney, and such lot.
And, well, being lots cheaper to boot is not ENTIRELY objectionable either.
Net, net: if demand is huge, I* will do well. If it is good, I* will soldier on. If it is moderate, I* will die a horrible, MOT debilitating death. Only if demand sucks the big one will G* not do well.
In my always humble opinion.
