I think this is the crux of the sentiment that is slowly driving some users away from Blackberrys. People see the advertising bang of the new phones and they think they will use the apps and other features of the iPhone and newer Android phones. Many users will actually use these features but my honest opinion is that more than 50% won't use many more of their phone's features than they did before the switch.

The truth is there are not really that many useful apps out there that have staying power. Everyone I know who has an iPhone, or an Android phone always says they really don't use the apps as much as they thought they would.
