My wife cannot figure out a cell phone with all the buttons and key combinations if her life depended on it. I would spend $500 if need be to have a phone she could use comfortably. I have been looking for a highly versatile PDA that does what the iPhone does. The current price of a smartphone that comes close to what I want is between $400 and $500, which is far overpriced for the junky cramped keyboards that are too small for my thick fingers. Perhaps I am one of the 21%. Most likely not as no products have come out that have compelling enough features to spend that kind of money. But the iPhone has those features. I would buy one in a minute (possibly two) if Cingular was in my area. I suspect there are a number of people in my position who also are not part of that 21%.
