The true power of the Iphone, finally realized by a 2.7 million customer net add. Now, I'm absolutely sure that Verizon's kicking themselves after turning down Apple's offer of the Iphone. The Iphone single-handedly brought in more than 50% of that 2.7milli

2.7 mil is alot, but over half is prepaid as much as i hate to say it. A new customer is as good as any I suppose as long as its postive growth unlike Sprint.

haha, Unfortunately, Sprint looks like they should quit the wireless business with the way they are going lol.

I dont think Sprint will be going anywhere too soon unless they dont revamp customer care. I think the new CEO wanted to outsource more care reps which is not the right way to go. People HATE talking to foriengers they cant understand. They need a name change lol.
