Questions for discussion:

• What are the main selling features for each phone?
• Do you think the marketplace is crowded with too many choices for buyers or that there is room for more competitors?
• Why are the sales of these products tied to 2 and 3 years service plans?
• Could they be successfully sold without phone service carriers affiliation?
• Are there other affiliates that could co-market these devices?
