Fuzzy Math...

So, SquareTrade is comparing the failure rate of a single phone to the failure rate of all Blackberry Phones combined - 16 different phones currently listed on their site. Anyone else see a problem with this comparison?

Because we don't have the individual Blackberry numbers, we'll have to average here...

12% failure rate / 16 phones = 1.3% failure rate per phone.

Seems to me the iPhone failure rate at 6% is a lot higher than the average 1.3% failure rate of the Blackberry phones.

Want to try that article again David?
