    Sort of. If you reference the actual NPD report that ALL TWENTY-SEVEN of
    the blogs you quoted actually reference, yes, 30% of iPhone buyers have
    defected from other carriers.

    However, 23% of ALL American cellphone customers switched carriers in the
    same
    period (June-Aug. 2008), so the "30%" number isn't as shocking as it might
    sound without any context.

    Verizon and AT&T's churn numbers will be far more telling, IMO, when
    released shortly- did more Verizon customers hop to AT&T for an iPhone, or
    did more AT&T customers defect to Verizon for "The Network" despite AT&T's
    exclusive on the 2nd best-selling phone in the market.


    Also, it's interesting to note that NPD's report was based on consumer data
    only. To quote NPD, "Sales figures do not include corporate/enterprise
    mobile phone sales." While that certainly doesn't dull the luster of
    Apple's success with the 3G, I only mention it to forewarn we'll likely see
    conflicting reports shortly if/when RIM claims they were the top selling
    smartphone in that quarter, because they'll include Enterprise data and
    aggregate individual model sales.
