AT&T ’s quarterly earningscame out yesterdayand touted that , as always , AT&T pick up over a million unexampled customers—1.4 million , to be exact . It also revealed how severely they necessitate the iPhone .
Of AT&T ’s 1.4 million raw customers , around 800,000 come alongside with the iPhone ( given that of the 2.4 million iPhones they moved , “ more than a third ” were customer fresh to AT&T),continuing a long - fly the coop drift . That is , growth heavily fire by the iPhone .

Also , AT&T moved a total of 3.5 million integrate 3 G devices ( that is telephone set with 3 thousand + QWERTY keyboards ) , including the iPhone . That means the iPhone report for rough 68 per centum of those sales . Okay , but that includes impudent dumbphones like theLG Neonor Samsung Magnet . Meaning it forms an even high-pitched percentage of legit smartphones sales — like vs. BlackBerry or Nokia ’s E71 or Windows Mobile .
Which interpret straight off into money : Wireless revenues were up 37.2 percentage , driven by “ message , internet access , access to app and services , ” or precisely those phones . That has to frighten them at some level — they’re deeply dependent on the iPhone .
Personally , I ’m most rum to see Sprint ’s earnings for a glance at what effect ( if any ) the Palm Pre has on thecontinuous slidethey’ve been on for what feels like forever now .
