Over the past week, we surveyed AT&T Stores to gauge trends in sales cell phones and new account sign ups. We asked the following questions:

  1. What is the best device to get for e-mail?

  2. Has there been an increase in the number of people opening accounts?

  3. What is the best overall selling phone?

  4. What is the best selling music device?

 

  • 53% of respondents said that the Apple iPhone was the top device for e-mail. The Blackberry Bold was seen as the best device by 27% of respondents.

  • 53% of respondents state that the number of new accounts opened at their location has increased in the past month.

  • The Apple iPhone was seen as the best selling overall device by 67% of respondents.

  • The Apple iPhone was seen as the best music device by 53% of respondents. 20% cited the Sony-Ericsson W350.

Conclusion of Channel Check: The Apple iPhone appears to maintaining its strength as the leader in every category we survey – best overall, best for e-mail and best for music. New account openings appear to be moving up a bit. We believe that AT&T Wireless is doing well with the strong allure of the Apple iPhone drawing in new users.
