With nearly 9 in 10 teenagers now using an iPhone, what does the future for Android in the US look like? At the moment, not great

IMHO the “blue bubble exceptionalism” is the elephant in the room.

    Blackberry was all the rage in business. I have never seen anything official about it being the rage among teens.
    Nokia phones were in Europe, because using the Nokia writing system for SMS was blazing fast compared to the competition.
    But at that time USA didn’t have SMS AFAIK.

      Blackberry was huge in the teen age group in the UK at least. BBM being the big selling point.

        OK the only place I really heard it was the “rave”, was among politicians.
        I don’t quite get how they could be so popular among teens, as they were quite expensive for a phone for the time.
