Now that the Verizon iPhone has been out for a few months, what do its owners think of the device?

A new survey indicates that while the Verizon iPhone may drop fewer calls, customers who own the AT&T iPhone 4 are just as satisfied.

Independent research firm ChangeWave polled more than 4,000 consumers to compare satisfaction and dropped call rates between Verizon iPhone owners and AT&T iPhone 4 owners.

ChangeWave says that 82% of Verizon iPhone owners are “very satisfied” with their phone, while 16% are “somewhat satisfied.” On the AT&T side, 80% of iPhone 4 owners say they are “very satisfied,” while 18% are merely “somewhat satisfied.”

Just because both groups of customers are satisfied, however, doesn’t mean that there aren’t any differences in service. ChangeWave compared the reported dropped call rates between Verizon iPhone owners and AT&T iPhone 4 owners. Here, the results are clearly in Verizon’s favor.

Verizon iPhone customers report 1.8% of calls dropped in the past 90 days, whereas AT&T iPhone 4 customers report 4.8% dropped. The iPhone statistics match overall call drop statistics across the different wireless carriers in the U.S. On average, 2.75% of all calls were dropped.

Verizon’s Big Opportunity: Future Sales

ChangeWave’s data suggests that customers — or at least iPhone 4 customers — view the device independent of the network. In other words, a customer may be satisfied or even “very satisfied” with his or her iPhone 4, even if he and she dislikes AT&T.

On the surface, that might indicate that AT&T’s history with dropped calls has little impact on iPhone sales. Historically, looking at iPhone sales figures, that appears to be true.

Now that Verizon also has the iPhone, however, consumers seem more interested in choosing Big Red as their iPhone vendor.

ChangeWave’s survey indicates that 46% of respondents who plan on buying an iPhone 4 in the future will use Verizon. In comparison, 27% of respondents said AT&T would get their vote.

Because it was essentially released in the middle of the device cycle, the Verizon iPhone isn’t necessarily a good marker for overall iPhone demand on the Verizon network. It’s likely that the true impact of the carrier availability won’t be clear until Apple releases its next device on both networks simultaneously.
