>> To be honest, I think the statistic he cited might be misleading... Net adds is not a defined class of customers, it's just a mathematical construct. Gross adds is all the new subscribers, and net adds is gross adds minus churn (customers lost). <<

His number about new post-paid subscribers was correct, as it comes straight from Verizon. Most of the data is here:

There are some other tidbits relevant to our discussion that can be found in the transcript of the conference call.

You're right about how to define "net adds" but that's not the same thing as "new post-paid subscribers," which is what that 880,000 number represents.

I believe the figures I cited demonstrate clearly that total Android 4G sales were a minority of total Android sales.
