A recent survey suggests that if the rumors about a Verizon iPhone are true and if said phone is coming in January ‘11, then Big Red (and Apple) stand to make money by the boat tanker load.
Of course you might expect folks from all of the other carriers to come to Verizon for an iPhone, but what is really surprising to me is that 51% of current Verizon customers would purchase an iPhone on the carrier. Given that Verizon has been pushing, and has sold, a ton of Android handsets including the Droid, Droid X, Droid 2, and HTC Incredible which have all come to market with the last year or so, means a lot of folks are willing to either pay full retail for the phone or are hoping that Verizon offers some kind of exception that will allow customers to renew for another two years regardless of where they are in their current contract.
