1.9 million iPhone 3Gs were sold in the fourth quarter of last year by AT&T, which is estimated to be quadruple the amount of handsets compared to the number of BlackBerry Storms that made they way into consumers’ hands. This success has seen the Dallas-based telecom giant post $0.41 earnings per share (EPS) for the fourth quarter, while its full-year earnings per share received a bump to $2.16 from $1.94 for 2007. Could the BlackBerry Storm ride out its current sales, er, storm and overcome early poor reviews? Only time will tell, and things won’t get any easier this year with a new worthy competitor lined up – the Palm Pre.
