70 percent of all smartphones sold by AT&T and Verizon last quarter were iPhones

So it seems in my previous analysis of the Android userbase, I left out “people who couldn’t wait for the iPhone to come to their carrier of choice”. It seems Android’s meteoric rise was due at least in part to limited availability of the iPhone. Going forward the smartphone landscape will get very interesting.
I’d be very interested to look at sales numbers of the iPhone in Australia, where it has been available from nearly all carriers from the beginning. Alas, I haven’t a clue where to find this sort of thing.
