11.3 Million iPhones sold in Q4?
Share:
This article contains unofficial information.
The iPhone's momentum overseas might have something to do with the phone's lack of exclusivity in foreign countries. For example, three UK carriers now offer the device (Orange, Vodafone and Tesco Mobile). Back in the States, the usual rumors continue to surface that once AT&T loses its stranglehold on selling the iPhone, the nation's number one carrier, Verizon, will be offering the touchscreen model to its nearly 90 million customers. This could happen sometime in the upcoming year.

Hova...seriously? Once again you have contributed absolutely nothing informative to this site. Your mindless banter about fanboys and immature insults make you look like more of an idiot than anyone else on this site. By the way.....steve jobs and apple inc care nothing about you. If they did they wouldn't be releasing devices every year with minor changes and a different name and charging consumers as if it were a brand new device. iphone/iphone3g/iphone3gs....pretty much the same device. I guess everthing thing I've just typed makes me an idiot though huh?

And Vz cares about. You could and will be replaced and forgot about faster than you can leave your mindless and thoughtless banter on this site. You act as if the CEO of VZ saw you on the street he would stop and talk or help you if you went to him. You are a number to them and as long as you produce they will allow you to continue to wear that Vz badge of yours. And one last thing don't lie and say if VZ was able to carry the iPhone tomorrow you wouldn't carry it. If that were true all of you vz people wouldn't continue to mention the phone in every post. And the first guy is right, not sure I see the "Droid" through any other carrier. I see other Android phones else where. One last thing about Apple releasing the same phone year after year, dude if you can admitt one thing admitt this, until the last few months VZ as no room to talk about phone releasing over the years. They may have the #1 network but they have been the laughing stock of the industry when it comes to phones it sells. Up until the Droid they were still trying to sell rotary phones.

VZWEMP I love how you bitch about my posts yet basically post the exact same worthless information you're pissed about. If you're the "worthless post police" why don't you rag on all your other fellow VZW butt-lovers who post things like: VZW FTW, DROID FTW and stop singling me out. You sir, are a fucking idiot. DROID DOESN'T

yet another insult... clever, heres an idea how about next time you try insulting me without profanity. maturity.....there must not be an app for that. @ majicc07: theres a reason we're number one in the industry, its because unlike ATT and Tmo we dont chase the latest and greatest phones. We invest billions of dollars into our network annually and it shows. That way when we do carry a data heavy device we'll have a network that will support it to its full potential. Last time i checked ATT briefly stopped selling the iPhone via internet in NYC due to heavy data usage and the fact that their network was ultimately suffering from it. and NO i wouldnt carry an iPhone, i have an iPod Touch which sits on my dresser.....my Zune is currently my favorite mp3 player.

You're a moron if you think ATT stopped selling a phone for ONE FUCKING NIGHT because of data problems. You continue to make yourself look like a complete idiot, bravo for that.

oh yea i forgot to mention that i actually met Lowell McAdams last year. Hes a pretty down to earth guy and hes friendly. So how about we look before we leap majicc07 because you dont know me nor do you know my position with VZW. Youre probably assuming im a sales rep.

ANOTHER post with the word "idiot" in it. seriously what are you 12? oh i guess you didnt see that article yesterday which was CONFIRMED true. ATT briefly stopped the sales of the iPhone in NYC. they coverage in NYC is horrid and even they know that. i couldnt care less about the iPhone. i work for Verizon not Google/Motorola. my company sells service...thats what we rightfully pride ourselves on NOT devices.

Oh I'm sorry should I be calling you brilliant for thinking stopping sales of a phone for less then 24 hours is a result of a data network issue? I'm well aware of the fact you're pointing out as I'm an employee of ATT. I can also confirm for you that the NYC area has the highest amount of fraud with the iPhone. You can quit while you're ahead any minute now.

VZWEMP, you never really answered Hova's questions. So let me ask it again. What about those other people who post VZW FTW, Droid FTW, DroidDoes, etc? What Hova is saying might be dumb, but why shouldn't he say stuff like that? Everyone else does, so why not?

The Problem with the US market is only one carrier is a GSM based network compatible with the rest of the world. Its easy to sell that much abroad when everyone is using the same technology and banding. Basically, the US market screwed itself and its moron blog sites are demanding the manufacture make different models of the phone when they have no interest in doing so.

The iPhone could be sold on T-Mobile as well if Apple would not have an exclusivety with ATT. There's actually many people that use it on T-Mobile already (to save money I would assume), so many that T-Mobile actually got together a seperate department for iPhone support.
7. lolipopjones posted on 29 Dec 2009, 13:56 0 0
they have to make a seperate model due to t-mo being on the 1700mhz banding. Now with the 4g if they can get a chipset that supports t-mobiles banding plus the rest of the worlds then yes... We can see a t-mobile iPhone.

Ummmmmm, there's a ton of people already using the iPhone on T-Mobile and other small local GSM carriers so I'm really not sure what you're getting at.

thats not entirely accurate either. Sure, Europe, Russia, and parts of Asia have only GSM-only technology, but South America, Latin America, Canada, and other big countries in Asia also have CDMA and I know for a fact that there is at least a CDMA/GSM quad band version that is sold in South America and I am pretty sure there is a CDMA version of the iphone in China. The quad iphone in South America can't be used for CDMA carriers in the U.S. because of frequency differences.
6. lolipopjones posted on 29 Dec 2009, 13:49 0 0
No... there isn't a CDMA version of the iPhone sold anywhere. I do not know where you think you got that info but every iPhone sold is one unified model. Also, China Unicom is a GSM carrier that people for some stupid reason thinks is cdma because most people do not realize that W-CDMA is UMTS which is a GSM 3G technology........ There isn't a CDMA/GSM hybrid iPhone either...
