According to the survey conducted by RBC Capital Markets, most of the mobile phone customers are planning to purchase a smartphone in the coming 90 days. And most of them are eyeing on Apple Inc.’s latest product, the 3G iPhone.

iPhone 3G

After the keynote of Steve Jobs last June 9, announcing the release of the 3G iPhone, the RBC Capital Markets surveyed at least 3,600 Technology Adoption Panel members. About 56 percent of the respondents said that they would love to have the latest handset from Apple Inc. The result was quite different when the same survey was conducted few months before Apple Inc.’s CEO’s keynote. Only 35 percent




of the respondents during that time said that they are interested in buying the 3G iPhone.

Mike Abramsky, an analyst from RBC Capital Markets said that the increase in the number of potential buyers is a good sign that there will be a great demand for the second-generation iPhone.

3G iPhone’s rival, BlackBerry falls at the second place. Only 23 percent of the respondents said that they are interested to buy the BlackBerry in the next 3 months. The BlackBerry Bold should go against the 3G iPhone. But because of the battery issues, the release was delayed and probably, 3G iPhone’s competitor will be in the market by August.
