Hum... no. The common consumers don't choose their cell phones based on OS knowledge. They do it mostly based on the size of their wallets.

Also, the iPhone has been the most successful single model phone.  But of course there's a lot more Android phones sold every years.  There are hundreds of models, for all kind of budget.  You seem to have the idea that the average Joe is buying an OS before buying a phone based on his budget, or service provider. You couldn't be more wrong.


Actually  most consumers (which are idiots like most humans are)  choose their phone base on how popular it is,  how present it is in the media and how they can increase their social status with it. 

Yeah... because the Galaxy Ace is everywhere in the media! Yet it's still selling quite a lot here. ¬_¬
Same goes for any LG phones.

Really... You shouldn't take what you see on the tech and specialized websites as indications for what sells most to the unaware average Joe.

It sells because it has GALAXY in its name.  Guess why the Wave  is selling less or Samsung Star or whatever.  

Samsung is present thats why Samsung phones sell   Samsung Galaxy is even more present.  ACE  was chosen because people might mix up S with ACE so they can also sell a less pricey phone to the masses.
The Galaxy Y also sells well because  SAMSUNG and GALAXY but not as good as the ACE because  Y is clearly different from S.

LG is also very present and has alot of adds compared to HTC etc.

Where did I say I took what I saw on tech sites?  I talk about what I see on the streets  newspapers magazines and TV or radio   because thats the main source of influence.

Plus I earn my money with ads (for some company like walmart)  and me and a friend constantly talk about ads how easy it is to influence people etc (he works for an agency that makes ads and viral campaigns for Volkswagen etc)

People usually buy stuff because they had a product of the same company before   because of ads  or because of word of mouth. Sure some people buy stuff because they invest time to find out whats the best  but they are the minority. (Before I started to make ads I was working  in the electonics department of several stores as part timer.)
