AT&T has 2x the smartphone users than verizon, but fewer overall subscribers. I believe AT&T's iPhone subcriber base is close to verizon's total smartphone user base. Also, the quarterly results show that AT&T total new consumer acquisition is made up almost entirely of iPhone users.

While you may hate your iPhone 3gs. It doesn't change the fact that the iPhone is a big reason for their success.

Argue the facts, not your stupid emotions.]]>Mar 7th 2010 5:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/07/palm-elan-to-be-the-next-webos-smartphone-heading-to-atandt/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/07/palm-elan-to-be-the-next-webos-smartphone-heading-to-atandt/Mar 7th 2010 5:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/07/palm-elan-to-be-the-next-webos-smartphone-heading-to-atandt/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/07/palm-elan-to-be-the-next-webos-smartphone-heading-to-atandt/
You know what Alex, you can't choose your family, it might be hard to get rid of your friends, you may stick with a job for the money.

I didn't even know AT&T gets phones from manufacturers anymore since the iPhone. Hmm... so AT&T subscribers, you DO have choices that make regular people look less like posers... interesting...]]>Mar 7th 2010 7:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/07/palm-elan-to-be-the-next-webos-smartphone-heading-to-atandt/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/07/palm-elan-to-be-the-next-webos-smartphone-heading-to-atandt/Mar 7th 2010 11:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/07/palm-elan-to-be-the-next-webos-smartphone-heading-to-atandt/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/07/palm-elan-to-be-the-next-webos-smartphone-heading-to-atandt/
I'm already in love with webOS. Yeaa, it's not perfect (what OS is?!) but its been only 9 months and webOS has evolved grrrreatly. Since folk like to always compare it to the iPhone, I'll say it launched as an iPhone OS 1.5, but now its a OS 3.1 alpha... in 9 months. thats about 2 years in Apple-speak, and no new hardware was needed.

I also have hopes for a smartbook/slate/tablet hybrid like the Lenovo IdeaPad U1, and bits from the Lenovo smartbook (http://hellosmartbook.com). With webOS and built/in webcam and mic (3G/4G if possible, but im getting an Overdrive anyway), I'm sold!!! If you haven't experienced webOS, DO SO!..on a VZ 'Plus' device though, the extra RAM and storage are a no-brainer.]]>Mar 8th 2010 1:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/07/palm-elan-to-be-the-next-webos-smartphone-heading-to-atandt/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/07/palm-elan-to-be-the-next-webos-smartphone-heading-to-atandt/

C'mon palm! You're fully capable of creating something AWESOME, hardware better than the iPhone, and an OS thats already got bucket loads of polish.

I'm an iPhone owner, but I really Want to see palm create something mind blowing.

Fix the email app, put this phone on sprint as well (69.99 unlimited everything, yes please) and I might consider switching from my iPhone.]]>Mar 7th 2010 4:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/07/palm-elan-to-be-the-next-webos-smartphone-heading-to-atandt/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/07/palm-elan-to-be-the-next-webos-smartphone-heading-to-atandt/
What's wrong with the email app? I don't see any problems with it for 98% of what I do, and that other 2% being sending schedule invitations with an Exchange account.

My bigger problems are non-account specific notifications for IM, and the browser lagging behind the rest of the stock apps in polish.]]>Mar 7th 2010 4:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/07/palm-elan-to-be-the-next-webos-smartphone-heading-to-atandt/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/07/palm-elan-to-be-the-next-webos-smartphone-heading-to-atandt/Mar 7th 2010 4:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/07/palm-elan-to-be-the-next-webos-smartphone-heading-to-atandt/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/07/palm-elan-to-be-the-next-webos-smartphone-heading-to-atandt/
Hopefully it has a really nice processor and a large screen.
