Regardless of my bias towards Qcom, I do think that the handset sales are based on the superficial specs and what the sales person hawks. If you stand for awhile in a cell phone store, the salesman tends to push the lower cost product and specs; they won't go into the details; they want to make a quick sale and get on to the next customer. I would love to know the Sprint sales numbers on Samsung vs. Qualcomm; I bet they sell the Samsung at least 3 to 1 over the Qualcomm phone and the Sony sells a lot more than the Qualcomm. I don't think quality is that much of a factor. Indeed, I once mentioned that the Qualcomm phone was a better phone, and the sales guy's reply was that the Samsung has a better connection rate (someone on the thread said because Samsung turns up the power). I do agree that Q needs to make some advances that distinguish its phones in the marketplace.
