There has been very little advertising so far involving the Pre, so most haven't even heard about it. Therefore, any conclusions that can be drawn from that survey are very limited.
Incredible hype buildup? Maybe on a few tech sites, but the general iPhone/Blackberry-buying public has absolutely no clue.
I dunno.... part of me thinks maybe you're right, and then again, I think maybe you're wrong.
The Jimmy Fallon demo on his new show... The Howard Stern intro....
The iphone crowd chatter about iphone 3 coming out with 'Pre-like' features....
And if you ARE right about the iphone-blackberry buying public having no clue, is that a good thing? It's been 3 months, so Palm/Sprint should be doing a better job of creating awareness for the product, no?
I, for one, have been evangelizing the phone to every person that I run into... religiously.... fanatically :-D. My friends are getting a little tired of my Pre-rants.
