Everyone wants two phones?

There’s no consumer and business phones, there’s just my phone. Carrying more than one is a PITA, if my business forces one upon me I’m going to either find it fantastic and ditch my sexier, faster phone.

On top of that,  having just spent $500 on this incredible vanity gadget do you really think I want to NOT use it five days a week? Or pull out the ugly business phone in front of anyone? There’s only one market, the phone market , and it’s comprised of consumers.

Then I noticed something funny about this particular price drop:
