Many came to AT&T 'just' for the iPhone.
Many still go to AT&T 'just' for the iPhone
Many have issues with coverage/service, but stay 'just' for the iPhone.
I don't expect all to leave, but I do expect a significant number (~20%) to bail to another carrier, and a significant number to sign up, as AT&T's 3G network has a much smaller footprint.
Personally, I don't like any carrier (including AT&T), however, I use them because it works (for me), and I have a discount through my employer.
I really dislike VZW, as I've had billing issues that I almost took them to court over (before carriers forced arbitration).
I agree that many came to AT&T and stay with AT&T just for the Iphone, but I would like to know what number of those have issues with the coverage but stay? Would you say 25%? 50%? How about for any wireless carrier? How many people get a wireless carrier only to be dissatisfied with the service?
