Apple's iPhone Outsells All Other Smartphones in July
The two models of the iPhone on the market sold more than Research in Motion's Blackberry series, the entire Palm portfolio and any individual smartphone model from Motorola, Nokia or Samsung.
The data was collected through a consumer survey of 2 million participants in the U.S.
Cellular-news offers some additional statistics from iSuppli's survey.
- 57% of iPhones bought in July were U.S. consumers 35 years or younger
- 52% Male, 48% Female
- 1/4 of iPhone purchases switched to AT&T from another provider.
Apple had previously stated that they expect to sell one million iPhones by the end of September, with a longer term goal of grabbing 1% of the cell phone market.

That's correct. 10 million units is roughly 1% marketshare, according to the numbers we've seen.
It seems to me these are the same analysts that predicted that Apple would sell 500K - 1000K of iPhones on the very first weekend, when actually it barely reached 250K?
