Business Customers Satisfied With iPhone

by Darren

Business customers are pretty happy with their purchases of Apple iPhones. This is interesting because Apple has not made a concerted effort to attract business users. But good news for the company is that the customers they have sold are happy with the purchase.

Of course, the iPhone still lags in market share — ChangeWave’s data shows Apple (5 percent) trailing RIM (73 percent), Palm (18 percent), Motorola (9 percent) and Nokia (7 percent).

The picture is a bit brighter for the iPhone on the planned purchases front. Of the survey sample 11 percent said they would buy iPhones, second only to RIM’s 77 percent. However, that’s a 3 percent drop for Apple from the November survey, not the direction it wants to go.

So BlackBerry still has the commanding lead among business users, but the iPhone is making some progress.
