The post you were quoting did not mention non-iPhone users on AT&T.

You are correct. However, if you took the time to think about my post instead of only trying to fire a weak attempt at being clever, you might actually grasp the concept I was offering?
My point was, why would 99.9% of all iPhone users want to leave AT&T just because they own an iPhone? They wouldn't, and I know this because there are many others who are not stuck with AT&T under a sole iPhone exclusive contract, yet remain with AT&T. Get it, or do you need me to draw you a picture?

Still not getting it, tbh. You have pronoun issues ( it is not clear who "they" are - AT&T users, or iPhone users, or does it change half way through?).
The poster you quoted is wrong about the 99% wanting to defect, but some iPhone users will defect. And, 34% of non-AT&T smartphone buyers wish they could buy Apple's iPhone. Which is what this thread is about. Its less confusing.

Oh you mean a pronoun issue instead of pronoun issues (since you only offered up one example), right?
Oh and what is less confusing? Your continued attempts at grammar nazism or your attempt to clarify the simplistic thread?
what about the % of people who haven't even purchased an iphone because of its exclusivity on at&t and would purchase if/when it comes to another carrier?
They are not represented in the data. The only respondents were recent smartphone buyers.

You assume that iPhone buyers think the same as the average ATT customer. But iPhone buyers think different. So the percentage of iPhone users who want to leave ATT might well be 99.9%, even if most of the dumbphone users are happy as clams.
But that's the part of the market that's growing, and it's growing fast. In another year Apple will be 14%, then higher afterwards.
Android will stop growing appreciably as a percentage of the smartphone market shortly. There's simply not much further they can go than, say 60% eventually. Apple will grow faster as they move to more networks here, while Android is now on all of them. So we'll see that high Android growth rate slow down, and Apple's speed up.
RIM won't go away, though they're through being the leader. Even WP7 will gain some marketshare.

I doubt that very much. I'm willing to bet that not more than about 25% would leave. I see no reason to, and I'm in NYC. Verizon simply isn't that much better, and i still find places where my AT&T iPhone works where a friend's Verizon phone doesn't. It not all that cut and dry.
It also depends on the respective plans. Verizon tends to be more expensive, and seems also to be more aggressive about charging for other services. They also have much poorer customer service.
Comments
99.9% of iPhone owners wish that they could escape AT&T (the other 0.9% have jailbroken iphones).
I was trying to figure out how this data fit into the overall market.
1/3 of 1/5 is very much smaller than 1/3 of the customer base.
We're talking about 7% of the market.
we are talking about the US smartphone market in this thread.

And, if anyone disagrees, they need to have their head "looked" at!

Why do ppl make such dumb and overly simplistic comments like this?
AT&T has millions upon millions of user who have not and will not EVER use or buy an iPhone, yet they remain with AT&T, curious ...

That's 100.8%...
bull
if they want an iphone they would just change their carrier. All carriers are equally crappy.
not every one can just change carriers ETF's being suck on family talk plans etc
7% of what market?
The cellphone market in the US.
what about the % of people who haven't even purchased an iphone because of its exclusivity on at&t and would purchase if/when it comes to another carrier?

While this may be true, I'm more impressed in the fact that there is 100.8% of iPhone owners!! Do we get bonus points because of our awesomeness?

If there is no reason to leave, then why will 25% leave?
