BlackBerry owners jumping ship to iPhone in record numbers

News - By: SPBlast! Staff - October 26, 2011

It appears that a lot of BlackBerry users are trading in their BB's for the iPhone 4S. Only gadget trader Gazelle reports a spike in BlackBerry trade-ins to record highs. Apparently, the number of BlackBerry trade-ins was up 80% last week.

Although the recent BlackBerry outage is partly to blame for the defections, Anthony Scarsella of Gazelle said, “in the grand scheme of BlackBerry [trade-in] growth over the past month, it can be pretty much entirely attributed to the launch of the iPhone 4S.

Are you holding on to your BB or thinking of switching to the iPhone?
