So more people choose the name Verizon Wireless than choose At&t.  All this prepaid etc that At&t does will eventually catch up to them.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[ir1]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 24th 2007 8:57PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on AT&amp;T activates 146k iPhones in Q2, Wall Street frowns]]></title><link>http://mobile.engadget.com/2007/07/24/atandt-activates-146k-iphones-in-q2-wall-street-frowns/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://mobile.engadget.com/2007/07/24/atandt-activates-146k-iphones-in-q2-wall-street-frowns/</guid><description><![CDATA[Here is some proof to back my claim up<br><a href="http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_hb4962/is_200705/ai_n19232684" rel="nofollow">http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_hb4962/is_200705/ai_n19232684</a><br>This is an article from RCR on Q1 2007 for the big 3.<br>Verizon Wireless 1.7 million net adds vs At&t 1.2 million net adds]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[ir1]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 24th 2007 9:12PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on AT&amp;T activates 146k iPhones in Q2, Wall Street frowns]]></title><link>http://mobile.engadget.com/2007/07/24/atandt-activates-146k-iphones-in-q2-wall-street-frowns/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://mobile.engadget.com/2007/07/24/atandt-activates-146k-iphones-in-q2-wall-street-frowns/</guid><description><![CDATA[146,000 iPhones actually doesn't sound like a whole hell of a lot.

Assuming that AT&T did not have to pay a dollar for the iPhone from Apple, the amount AT&T made was about 87 million dollars ($599 x 146,000).  That is about 3 percent of AT&T's overall profit of 2.9 billion dollars.  Obvious, Apple didn't give away the iPhone to AT&T so that number is going to be less.  I don't know how you can say profits soared because of the iPhone.<br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Tim]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 24th 2007 2:43PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on AT&amp;T activates 146k iPhones in Q2, Wall Street frowns]]></title><link>http://mobile.engadget.com/2007/07/24/atandt-activates-146k-iphones-in-q2-wall-street-frowns/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://mobile.engadget.com/2007/07/24/atandt-activates-146k-iphones-in-q2-wall-street-frowns/</guid><description><![CDATA[It's odd that it is worded 146,000 activations.

I have been with cing for 2years now and have not seen a paycut since AT&T took over 100% this past Dec. We are part of the CWA, the name change has nothing to do w/ our wage or benefits we are still under contract.. everything besides the internal name stays the same and we were already 60% AT&T before the merger. <br><br>These #'s are just for activations. Some folks werent able to activate their iphones due to an issue w/ the activation servers which was resolved on Monday, July 2nd. Lets not mention the port-ins from T-Mo and verizon that will show up in the 3Q stats. Even if there were just 140k activations on friday and saturday that is still a huge # for the amount of people activating their phone in a 30 hour period.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[djpablog]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 24th 2007 10:18PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on AT&amp;T activates 146k iPhones in Q2, Wall Street frowns]]></title><link>http://mobile.engadget.com/2007/07/24/atandt-activates-146k-iphones-in-q2-wall-street-frowns/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://mobile.engadget.com/2007/07/24/atandt-activates-146k-iphones-in-q2-wall-street-frowns/</guid><description><![CDATA[According the Apple the activation problem only affected less than 5% of iPhone buyers. So what happened to the 500K to 700K number that was floated around by some analysts (I believe it was mostly the moron Piper Jeffrey guy, that also said most iPhone buyers own Macs and buy the 8GB model, based on his "unofficial" poll while waiting in line with the other geeks).

Selling almost 150k of anything at 600 bucks a pop is pretty damn good to me especially when you consider it's not a gaming system but a cell phone.  The real number to consider is now many were sold the first week of retail and how many to date.  Also consider that web sales were not shipping the first week of retail.  ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Q]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 25th 2007 3:04PM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
