iPhone/BlackBerry failure rates

Hi James - thanks for the comments. First off, not sure what you mean about the link - it's working for me. Re the failure rates quoted in the third/fourth paragraph, those are failure rates over a 2-year period, rather than the 1-year period referenced in the headline and first paragraph.

Regarding the focus on the iPhone in the body of the text - that's because the iPhone is still more of an unknown quantity than the BlackBerry, which has been around for years in one form or another. Therefore, I thought it more interesting to look at the quantitative data on iPhone malfunctions or otherwise, as it's not something that's often enough gone out of the realms of anecdote.
