                [deleted post]How funny that some people don't understand. The reason for SE's decline about its market share is because of the shift from making feature phones to smartphones! SE is actually having profits and that's not bad at all. Furthermore, SE's market share in Japan is not included here.

Well, the Bill of Materials for the iPhone 4 is only 4 cents more expensive than a Nokia N8. Ontop of that Nokia actually pays for the patents it uses as well as Codec support where as Crapple just has its own screwed up formats which it doesn't have to pay for. This comparison shows how much people with iPhones are being ripped off. If the iPhone cost 60%-70% of what it costs even I would consider it but having it cost that much means people are being ripped off left, right and center. If all phones around the world were purchased off contracts and subsidy free, the iPhone wouldn't sell. The countries where it does best are those where there is little penetration from other companies resulting in little choice and markets where phones are purchased subsidised or on contract. I remember a while back I said that I would only get an iPhone if it was given to me free. Well, I got one for free and I can tell you its definitely not worth the price, unless you jailbreak, then you get some/minimal value.
