p2pnet news | Mobiles:- The average iPhone user now has to pay almost $20 more in phone bills than before s/he was forced by Apple and AT&T to switch to AT&T.

So says a survey by Rubicon Consulting, quoted by the New York Times.

Also, the whether-you-like-it-or-not demand meant nearly half of the 460 iPhone users who responded to the survey admitted they’d changed carriers so they could use the phone.

But ’switch’ might not be the correct word.

“The survey also found that 36 percent of iPhone users regularly carried another mobile phone as well, most often a BlackBerry,” says the story, quoting Rubison’s Michael Mace as saying, “I can easily picture somebody carrying both an iPhone and a RIM device.

“Even though it sounds really geeky, to them it makes sense.”

‘Geeky’ is another word which might not be the correct one
