Half of Verizon smartphone users mulling switch to iPhone

Results of a uSamp survey of AT&T and Verizon customers conducted last week reveals that 54 percent of current Android and BlackBerry users on Verizon's network are likely to switch to a Verizon-compatible iPhone 4 by the time the device launches next week on February 10. That same survey suggested that as many as 26 percent of current AT&T iPhone users could switch to Verizon next week as well. The news comes just as Verizon reported blowing well past previous records set for first-day handset sales in less than a day of preorder availability.

uSamp's data is derived from a "highly profiled panel" of over 700 smartphone users currently on AT&T or Verizon conducted between January 28 and January 31 (before current Verizon customers were allowed to preorder online February 3).

In particular, two-thirds of BlackBerry users were either very or somewhat likely to switch, according to survey respondents.
