i would've expected AT&T to have quietly started building up their stable of Android phones by now, which De la Vega mentions in a very recent interview (http://news.idg.no/cw/art.cfm?id=7D04F480-1A64-6A71-CE92332AED968E41). ]]>Oct 22nd 2009 2:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/22/atandts-third-quarter-earnings-come-up-all-roses/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/22/atandts-third-quarter-earnings-come-up-all-roses/Oct 22nd 2009 2:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/22/atandts-third-quarter-earnings-come-up-all-roses/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/22/atandts-third-quarter-earnings-come-up-all-roses/Might wanna look up the word "conjecture".

i never specified a timetable for anything, nor did i say that Verizon would be the only carrier outside of AT&T to have the iPhone in the US. Also, last i heard, Verizon was looking at a major rollout of LTE in 2013/2014, not a year later as you specified. Perhaps i'm wrong on that as i don't keep up with Verizon, but i haven't seen anything that says otherwise after performing a quick search. Whether Apple releases a CDMA iPhone now to get more iPhones in hands or whether they wait for LTE is something only they know.

Both Verizon and AT&T have pro’s and con’s. The iphone is the best selling phone on the market today; therefore anyone on Verizon’s network is going to want Verizon to get the phone.

If the iphone was exclusive to Verizon we would have the exact same comments/complaints we have today, just reversed. People like to bitch, rarely do they compliment.

Now back to the comical comment bashing that AT&T usually gets.]]>Oct 22nd 2009 6:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/22/atandts-third-quarter-earnings-come-up-all-roses/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/22/atandts-third-quarter-earnings-come-up-all-roses/
Reading between the lines since the current exclusivity aggreement ends end of 2010 will they will try to get an revised contractual exclusive on 7.2 iphones or they'll launch 7.2 before anyone else. Contractually this sounds bold and expensive move, but strategic smart cherry picking. Either way the competition, FCC forcoming net neutrality decision, the consumers ability to churn after 2 years and new phones, drives and benefits consumers with better tech at lower pricing.

Its a win-win for the consumer, consolidation kills markets.]]>Oct 22nd 2009 6:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/22/atandts-third-quarter-earnings-come-up-all-roses/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/22/atandts-third-quarter-earnings-come-up-all-roses/
Im not understanding where people get the idea that the contract ends in 2010, I have no idea where this information is being leaked or being given to. The iphone has a 5 year conclusive deal. started in 2007 + 5 equals 2012. So if anything, they will sell another model in 2010 and 2011 etc. Im sure their are some guidelines in the contract, where AT&T has to meet quota or something like that between the two companies, but I just dont get it! Anyway, I have the iphone 3G and had Nokia N97NAM with 3.5 support. I noticed quite a difference on the 3.5G, going back to the iphone 3G, just makes it seem slow, im glad the improvements have hit the Seattle Area, WA]]>Oct 22nd 2009 9:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/22/atandts-third-quarter-earnings-come-up-all-roses/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/22/atandts-third-quarter-earnings-come-up-all-roses/
