AT&T locking up iPhone sales before 2011

This article contains unofficial information.
These increased expectations from analyst Todd Rethemeier include 750,000 new customer contracts, up from previously estimated 600,000. In Q2 alone, AT&T activated 3.2 million iPhones and signed 496,000 new contracts.
"Demand for the iPhone seems to still be strong...Many stores have been out of stock recently, and ordering on the Internet has a 1 to 3 week wait time," said Rethemeier.
Despite AT&T's mixed reputation for dropped calls, and their recent Antennagate struggles, AT&T is still raking in the new contracts, and upgrading existing customers to the iPhone. This is despite the fact that many wireless customers are either adopting Android or holding out to see where the CDMA iPhone falls.
While there have been rumors about an iPhone on Verizon as soon as January, there has been no official word. Take this with a grain of salt, but perhaps Apple and Verizon aren't allowed to breathe any word of the Verizon iPhone until AT&T's exclusivity is officially over. If that's true, then AT&T should milk their iPhone goldmine while they can.

Still not believing it until Steve Jobs annouces it, believe nothing you hear, believe half of what you read, and believe everything you see.

this will be an interesting turn because verizon employees and possibly others hate hearing about the iphone and when it will be coming to their network, also saying that i wonder how their sales would shift from being all android. Will apple become a major powerhouse again in the smart phone world? to me i think that will be the case. there are so many things comparing to the iphone like "whats the best altarnative for an iphone," or the infamous line of being an "iphone killer." but yeah we can go on and on ...and on about this debate, but that is just my opinion.
