Is the study a little ambiguous?
SquareTrade randomly selected 6,678 BlackBerry, 5,651 Treo, and 4,902 iPhone handsets

With a higher sampling, you recieve more precise data. Should not the selected phones for the study have been at the same amount?

Plus, "The Blackberry" could be one of several models, with one particular model having a much higher failure rate as opposed to the other models that may actually be lower then the iPhone.

It is like saying the Ford Focus has a much smaller failure rate then Chrysler.
