with T9 keyboards who had better batteriesand more resistant bodies. The post-iPhonesmartphones are also more expensive then average users desire to pay and thatpossibly explains why sales are slowing. The post-iPhone shape hasnt untilyet completely satisfacted the needs of most non early adoptersusers. And that doesnt seems to make sense. A todays Honda Civic is normallybetter then a 10 years ago Honda Civic in most things. But that is not workingthat way with phones since todays smartphones has not yet brought intoobsolesce some 10 years ago shapes. For some kinds of users,specially those who dont care much about apps or social media, those who need aphone for working or simple personal life issues, a post-iPhone smartphone is possiblyone of the worse options available. Now. Who is gonna grab this Market?The company that most successfullyachieve to integrate the post-iPhone features with some of the pre-iPhonefeatures will be sailing on the blue ocean of an enormous number of users(billions), who doesnt like spending too much, but once are pleased are also thekind of users most afraid of changing to other kind of product meaning lots of loyalty. Who are more likely to do this? Samsung has not the hardwaresolidness and Android is not the best for integrating software responsivenesswith stability and battery efficiency. But Samsung has a well known brand whichis also important and the best pricing for this.Apple has the software stability andtrustability but has not the pricing, battery efficiency and hardware thicknessnecessary. That could be possible if Apple brings a new cheaper model to Marketfocusing this weak points, that Apple insists to make even weaker at eachiPhone and iOS generation. Apple hasalso a brand with great reputation but until now driven to a niche Market. Nokia has all the necessaryattributes for the average Market. The hardware thickness, the battery efficiency(both WP7 and Symbian) the pricing and the well known brand. But since averageindividuals are very reluctant to buy products they dont know very well the bigchallenge is to first grab the mindshare of users that never heard about the WP7and also dont have good memories with Windows Mobile. That could be achievedwith the other platform Nokia is investing on, the Meltemi. But until now isjust a rumor.HTC has the hardware thickness andthe pricing but also lacks the battery efficiency and while Android isnt thebest for this WP has not the necessary mindshare also. RIM might have already a good shareof the average Market but was smashed by the iPhone and failed to do better onlowering the pricing and improving battery efficiency and hardware thickness. In other words none of them has allthe necessary attributes yet and a mark of 3 days of normal for batteries should be pursued (while most smartphones can't stand more then one entire day) Apple software stability with Samsungpricing. A good QWERTY keyboard should be also an option to think about. All ofthese without removing the most important features of the post-iPhonesmartphones: the great web browsing, social media, mail and maybe maps. There is no need for glossy things. This kind of users are more worried on getting
