Video of the 50 states is nice and brings back memories.

We have The Trans Canada Highway that goes across the top of Lake Superior that is awesome and travels the seeming endless Prairie Provinces to be greeted by the looming Canadian Rockies just west of Calgary then a side trip to Lake Louise then through Revelstoke and Golden followed by the trip down to Vancouver and then up to Whistler/Blackcomb that I did one time way back.

Your post doesn't mention the crucial bit, in the USA.

The RAZR is now a relatively old phone (first launched in 2004 with numerous updates along the way but still old) and new models will obviously take some of its market share and knock it of top spot, that is a fact of life. When I bought my new phone I checked out the latest RAZR and didn't really like it (http://www.mobilegazette.com/why-the-razr-is-killing-motorola-07x05x16.htm and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motorola_RAZR_V3) and it didn't do too well in reviews. Personally I'm surprised it was in top spot to start with.

The USA is where the vast majority of Apple Products are sold as Apple does not put nearly the mount of marketing effort  in international sales as it does US sales. About half of all iPhone sales are in the US for example.

RAZRs are everywhere and have been for years, the fact that iPhone is outselling them (and Blackberry) now is huge

Yes but the regret is having been caught and received heavy fines.

Hopefully the EU will jump on this band wagon and hit them with some heavy fines, like those imposed on MS.

I hate being ripped off.
