iPhone Outselling All Other Smartphones Combined at Sprint and AT&T

All Things D:

Our March checks indicated the iPhone continues to extend its market share gains,” Canaccord Genuity analyst Mike Walkley writes in a note to clients today. “In fact, we believe iPhones are outselling all other smartphones combined at Sprint and AT&T and selling at roughly equal volume to all Android smartphones at Verizon.

Thank goodness it was only a mediocre refresh of the iPhone 4. One phone, on three models, against a bunch of Samsung, HTC, LG, Motorola, etc. That is a big feat to accomplish.

T-Mobile: Our LTE Network will be compatible with the iPhone.

From their blog:

Will refarming make your network compatible with the iPhone?  And will you stop offering 2G services?
A nice side benefit of the refarming effort is that our 4G network will be compatible with a broader range of devices, including the iPhone. The other important benefit of our network modernization effort is the coverage improvements it will deliver, especially when it comes to in-home coverage.

So, the girl with the fuchsia polka dot dress can stop making fun of the iPhone now? For a phone that is such a headache for carriers and none of them want it, it sure looks like they want it.

When AT&T started slowing down the data service for his iPhone, Matt Spaccarelli, an unemployed truck driver and student, took the country’s largest telecommunications company to small claims court. And won.

His award: $850.

iPhone: mas de la mitad de los smartphones que Verizon vendió el trimestre pasado.

The carrier announced that it sold 4.3 million iPhones during the final quarter of 2011. This figure accounts for more than half the 7.7 million smartphones the carrier sold and more than doubles the 1.6 million LTE smartphones the carrier sold in the last three months of the year. It’s also 2 million more than the 2.3 million 4G LTE devices the carrier sold (1.6 M smartphones and 700,000 LTE devices), which is impressive when you consider that it’s the iPhone 4 and 4S versus the 20 LTE devices in Verizon’s lineup.

Nada mal, especialmente considerando que el iPhone 4S era una “decepción.” Esto es mas que Android, Blackberry y Windows Phone 7 combinados.

AT&T anuncia nuevos planes de data para teléfonos y tablets.

Carrier iQ, un espía en tu teléfono, especialmente en tu Android.

En estos días se ha formado un revuelo debido a que un hacker descubrió un programa hecho por Carrier iQ, en un celular Android, fabricado por HTC. Todo comenzó la semana pasada cuando Trevor Eckhart dijo que había encontrado un “rootkit” en su teléfono HTC. La compañía responsable, Carrier iQ, lo amenazó con demandarlo y luego se retractaron cuando vieron que Eckhart buscó ayuda y defensa legal con la EFF (Electronic Frontier Foundation). Como parte de su defensa, Carrier iQ alegó que solo usa la información mínima necesaria para proveer sus servicios y que no espía a los usuarios.
