riiight. that's why I just picked up a Samsung Galaxy Note III on the verizon edge program and will be upgrading to an LG G3 phablet in a few months

How does what YOU do change what people in emerging markets want?

if v 'emerging markets', you're simply referring to BRIC markets, perhaps you have point. BUT, this is the good ole US, and the success Samsung has had getting the phablet phone to take off simply refutes your blanket claim that people "really want iPhones."

And your purchase of a Galaxy NOTE proves that success exists, does it?

no, it simply proves that there is a market that values phones other than iphones.
