IMO you're not judging fairly, the original statement is: "It's unclear whether the iPhone rush will continue. NPD said mobile phones with QWERTY keyboards saw the greatest year-over-year rise in sales. About 30% of handsets sold in the third quarter had those keyboards familiar to computer users."
That's not the same as appearing to be on the verge of losing their cool factor, especially given that the iPhone YOY sales increased by over 500%.
