Research in Motion discovered this when they came out with the Blackberry and signed up users in droves. Now AT&T is reaping the benefits of its exclusive deal with Apple to sell the iPhone domestically. In a recent study by Rubicon Consulting, an astounding 47% of iPhone buyers had switched carriers to buy Apple’s red hot phone.

Taking customers away from competitors has always been difficult in the cell phone industry, but AT&T is showing that if you have the right phone people will switch in huge numbers.
