__**Notes from team meeting 10/01/09**__

Nokia - pay by phone (paying by products via your mobile)

Verizon - #1 in market. Quite successful amongst Gen-Y

iPhone - Majority of smartphone users using this. Currently more of a fad. More aimed at Gen-Y but trying to make it more legit and substantial among businesses.

Spring Nextel - Compete with Verizon & AT&T), Palm; not doing well; not all encompassing like Verizon or AT&T; losing customers.

RIM Blackberry & iPhone main competitors in market; more used in business world than anything else still, but this is changing;

Potential for Google Android to seriously enter market.

Questions for Fall Survey:

Verizon is leading the wireless market with 56.8 million subscribers compared with AT&T’s 56.3 million. Do u think AT&T will be able to reach this target and dominate wireless market?

Would you consider switching your cell phone service to Sprint Nextel if they successfully provided a 4G network?

By increasing business applications, will the IT people let iPhone take place of blackberry?

Do you own a smartphone? If so, what model? For what purposes did you purchase it- business and networking, social networking, general need/ organizational requirements, or other?

If Nokia successfully added the Pay-By-Phone service and Lifecasting would you consider switching over your phone service?
