Also, Top reasons for buying the iPhone include lower price 67 percent, 3G Internet connection 63 percent, GPS 47 percent, Microsoft (MSFT) Exchange email support 35 percent, and third-party apps 20 percent, purchase interest in Apple is 2x or more that of other brands surveyed: RIM 23 percent (RIMM), Palm 3 percent (PALM), HTC 2 percent, Nokia 2 percent (NOK), Samsung 2 percent, Motorola 1 percent (MOT), others 11 percent.
