Not good news for Android, and even worse looking for RIM / Blackberry:
Online sample company uSamp, which conducted a “highly profiled online panel” of more than 700 smartphone users in late January, published the results Thursday. The survey found that 54 percent of respondents who have an Android or BlackBerry smartphone on Verizon are either very likely (25 percent) or somewhat likely (29 percent) to purchase the Verizon iPhone when it arrives next week.
The report could signal particularly grim news for Research in Motion, as BlackBerry users demonstrated higher interest in switching to the iPhone, with 66 percent indicating a probable switch, compared to 44 percent of Android users. RIM’s BlackBerry has lost significant share on Verizon as the carrier has heavily promoted its Android offerings. With the arrival of the iPhone, the BlackBerry on Verizon has been relegated to third place.
And some more for AT&T to worry about:
Also of note, 26 percent of AT&T customers reported plans to purchase the Verizon iPhone on launch day.
Of course this is quite a small survey, so its results should be taken with as many salt grains as you like – but I’m sure the rabid interest in the Verizon iPhone can’t be great news for any of the players mentioned above.
