Blackberry handset is no longer concerned with the occurrence of iPhone. Because of not all people switch off from their Blackberry handset to iPhone gadget.
This statement was stated by researchers from UBS Investment Jeffrey Fan after successfully interviewed 222 people in UK and 106 people in United States when they would buy iPhone 3G.

According to Fan in Cellular News, on Tuesday (15/7/2008), 106 of iPhone buyers in United States, only five people, or 4.7 percent are Blackberry users. In fact, three of that number don’t intend to sell their Blackberry after buying iPhone. That is, only 1.9 percent of the value of any possibility to use Blackberry.
“About 30 percent of 106 people use Motorola and Samsung. With each contributing is 15 percent,” said Fan.

Then, in UK, from 222 people who purchased the iPhone, only eight people or 3.6 per cent claiming to have it switch from Blackberry to iPhone. Only one person is interested in using them, iPhone and Blackberry. However, 18 percent of these respondents claim to have a corporate Blackberry so that they can not take down the handset made by Research in Motion(Rim).

“From 222 people in UK, the 28 percent is former Nokia users, while 20 percent is former Sony Ericsson users,” Fan explained. Fan detailed more about this research, although the research is limited, but it can prove that the market segment of Blackberry and iPhone users is very different so it will not become a significant threat to Rim.

In above countries, the majority of iPhone 3G buyers have used first version of iPhone. In UK is about 29 percent and in United States is about 37 percent. Even, some iPhone operator in several countries also sells Blackberry handset as alternative of iPhone by selling Blackberry with cheaper price. For example, the T-Mobile of United States reduced the price of Blackberry Curve by USD 50, to USD 99.
