    The throttling rule should apply to iphone users only.



    The throttling rule is for new data customers.

    Its very simple, according to CR the iPhone 4 sucks as a phone but is great in all its other functions.

    I have a feeling sales numbers will be constrained by supply or rather lack of supply. Similar to the iPad. Apple most certainly would've sold more ~15 million iPads if they had the supply.



    The Verizon phones are being built on a separate line (I think they are even be built by a different manufacturer - Pegatron). But there still be supply constraints based on component constraints like displays or touchscreens.

    Um, what are you inferring ?

    Dropped calls have nothing to do with the phone.

    I repeat HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE PHONE.

    Geez when will you fandroids understand, now repeat after me; its the CARRIER, its the CARRIER, its the CARRIER.

    Do you now understand ?

    I haven't read this. If you're right, you just calmed me down tremendously. The idea that I'm being punished for the iphone really irritated me.



    Thanks for the info
