@andrew,

Wireless Subscribers 276.6M as of june 09 in the us.

verizon wirless 86.3 million as of q3 att 81.6 million sprint 54 million t-mobile 32.1 million

now were missing about about 24million people between the small carrier.

when att is only a 30% market share in the us, saying that 30% are iphone users is total bullshit on the poll since it would mean every customer is an iphone user.

Actually, academically speaking, a random selection of 1000 people is statistically sound.

Looking at the very solid flat line for BlackBerry has me thinking that might primarily be due to the fact that government organizations and corporations provide and require employees to carry them. Wonder how many people actually go out and buy a BlackBerry as their personal device?

How many of the 40% are die hard Verizon customers? iPhone on Verizon could put RIM down to Palm numbers.

Rimms numbers are falsified by the fact that Verizon has been giving their cracknerrys away. Buy 1 get 1 free. And at a lower selling price than the iPhone. Verizon doesn’t have the iPhone. People don’t want to leave Verizon are going for the closest thing they can get with Verizon. And that happens to also get you a free one.

"But their one-size-fits-all strategy has meant that they appeal to relatively few people."

Huh?

The iPhone will become just another Apple niche product, due to their closed-down policies.

Other than the dying music player market, Apple has never been a market leader, but instead, sells high-margin products to small, discreet audiences of buyers. They make great margins, and therefore are very profitable. But their one-size-fits-all strategy has meant that they appeal to relatively few people.

Correction, iPhone is taking over the US. LOL.

But this is very good. This will drive more companies even more. Which will in turn drive Apple even more (You would hope).

But what I actually see from this...is RIM still kind of being the big winner. Even though RIM's percentage dipped...

The percentage for planned smartphone purchases rose for RIM while dipping for iPhone. It always seems that Apple products, people who want it will get it. They will have it. So the planned purchase will dip lower and lower. But that's jsut MY opinion. I'm not trying to state facts...before all the fanboys and cult members get all rowdy.

So 39% of folks have smartphones, and of those, non-iPhone owners are 70% of the total.

So that means that 11.7% of surveyed phone users use iPhones.

Double digits! Double digits!

The iPhone is taking over the world!
