U.S. iPhone owners happier with their phone than Pre owners

RBC Capital and ChangeWave Research reported the results of a survey that shows that more iPhone users are very satisfied with their phone than Pre owners are with theirs. According to the survey, 99% of 200 Apple iPhone 3GS users in the U.S. were satisfied with the touchscreen device. Of those, 82% said they were very satisfied. A survey of 40 Palm Pre owners showed 87% satisfied but just 45% of them are very satisfied.

When asked what they liked and disliked the most about their phones, 45% of iPhone users said that the touch screen interface was the best feature. What did iPhone owners dislike the most? No surprise. 55% of them said they did not like AT&T's network. 47% of Pre owners also favored their device's touch screen interface, while 45% cited the short battery life as their chief dislike.
