Research published uSamp (pdf warning) shows that the Verizon iPhone is a powerful enough draw to pull in more than 25% of AT&T’s users, and more than half of the Verizon Android and Blackberry users — and that’s only on day one.
While their sample size wasn’t huge (n=700) it did have some very curious numbers: 26% of AT&T users want to grab the Verizone iPhone on day one, 66% of Verizon Blackberry users, and 44% of their Android users likewise.
Why do people want to change over?
As at&t loses its monopoly on the iphone, its customers who plan to switch to Verizon have one clear-cut reason: dropped calls (48 percent). other factors cited: carrier coverage (25 percent), product features (22 percent) and other reasons (30 percent).
For switchers among Verizon’s current android and BlackBerry users, it’s all about the cool features: the interface (60 percent), web browser (58 percent), media (51 percent), memory (43 percent), and camera (41 percent).
Ouch, that’s got to sting.

26% of AT&T users want to switch? That is great news for all of us that stay. More people on their network slow it down and with less on ours, it will speed up.
Thanks
My friend said Android is taking over, taking over what I asked?
I find it pretty interesting that nearly HALF of current Android users wish to switch to the iPhone. What does that tell you about the Android system? Those are incredible stats and it will be interesting to see how things shape up over time. I definitely think that percentage will be considerable lower. Perhaps those stats are skewed by the over eager first slew of customers. We shall see!!
