If you ask me, is it a decent phone? Yes, IMO, it is decent at best.
I think your 98% is way high, yes as with alot of apple products people buy them because they are cool to have but they keep them and buy more of them because they are easy to use.

The BB has a cool factor as well, just look in here at the people who buy them and do not get a data plan. Those people don't care about BIS / BES or security. To a lot of people the BB is overkill and it can be intimidating to set up let alone have to update the OS or search for apps.

To be honest, at this point people know what they get with either device and they know what they have to do make it perform for them. But it certainly doesn't boil down to business vs. fun or child vs. adult as it has been stated in this thread.
