“The iPhone is the number one selling american phone - surpassing the V3 Razr.

I argue that the RAZR's sales only exploded AFTER the RAZR hit Verizon. If there was a CDMA iPhone available on Verizon and Sprint as well as AT&T and Tmobile, the iPhone's sales would be unstoppable.

I have never been a lover of apple, but I can't argue that many of their business strategies are flawed, yet successful. I was showing my iPhone off to my uncle who was so happy about buying a new Nokia 6590 (i think) and when he saw everything it could do he was awed... he didn't even have wifi so he was shocked to see a browser and a screen like iPhone's which could handle goodle maps, web browsing and youtube.

Now he wants one.

But fortunately, Apple's best strategy was treating the iPod Touch and iPhone as the same platform so you can do basically everything you could do on the phone on the ipod minus the cellular data services. If he keeps his crappy phone, he can still get an ipod and have just as much as I do. And that's a good thing.” source...
