"the Samsung Droid Nexus"
This may be me being snarky, but is it crazy to expect an analyst to get the name of the phone right:
Samsung Galaxy Nexus
It's not a huge deal, but I lost just a bit of faith when I read that part.

Well the iPhone is Samsung inside, so it may as well just be all 70M units are theirs...lol.
That is a lot of frikkin phones man. Looks like thr Galaxy S is the only devices Sammie needs to make, just liek Nokia should just make Lumia's.
So much for, Samsung just shipping phones to warehouses and having them just sit...aye? Looks like they are selling. Selling 10M+ Galaxy S devices and 5M+ Notes, sure didn't hurt, did it?

The Samsung Nexus is NOT a Droid device. It is an Android device. Droid is the brading verzion places on certain models of Android devices. The Nexus is not. Typical Droid is associated with Motorola and HTC based devices so far.
Yes Verzion has poor sales of both the iPhone 4 and 4S. verzion reported when they first got iPhone, that the HTC Thunderbolt was outselling it for several weeks.
Sprint also had low sells as well. Likely because both Verzion and Sprint have phones that slaughter iPhone in capability. Who is going to swap a 4G LTE device that cost $499 or $599, for a non-LTE baring iPhone still using old 3G? especially since you have to pay for the same data plan?
Other minuses? Th eiPhone looks small an dated, compared to the hot sellers at noth VZW and Sprint being 4" or larger devices. Sprint is suffering big time because they invested nearly $22M for iPhone only to get terrible sales. VZW and Sprint being CDMA only is likely the issue, unless unlocked, and dropping in a SIM card from T-Moble or ATT will only put you on Edge which is slower than EVDO.

Every news release regarding iPhone sales from the carriers themselves that I have seen published and read is basically the opposite of what you claim. Why is that?

Verizon iPhone sales singles out Android carriers
Under: Apple iPhone, Google Android, Verizon
Date: January 25th, 2012
The Verizon iPhone outsold each company running Android Phones, such as HTC, LG, Motorola and Samsung, and if you consider that Verizon sold 10.8 million iPhones in 2011 and in the same year 15 million Android phones were sold, it stands to reason that the Verizon iPhone outsold every single Android carrier, but we must remember it is about the operating system, and Android is more popular than iOS on Verizon.
Having said that, old Android isn’t doing too badly in the mobile space, as I am sure you will agree. According to the latest Verizon figures by way of Droid-life and CNN, during the forth quarter the Big Red pushed out some 7.7 million smartphones, which helped towards the 70 percent of their entire two-year contract wireless sales.
Of those 7.7 million iOS devices accounted for 4.3 million whilst the remained was made up of various Android handsets, Windows Phone devices and BlackBerry devices.

I am sure the numbers changed later. It isn't the point. At one point the iPhone 4 was not the biggest seller for several weeks.
If you actully looked you woudl have found what I found. Problem is you didn't really look.
We all know as a single l model the iPhoen is a hot seller on any carrier. But I highly doubt on VZW it outsells all the models combine. VZW has other phones that are significantly better and so does Sprint. Sprint has terrible sells of the iPhone 4S even with tit being the largest single model seller. Sprint in one quarter sold 2.3M
According to Sprints own words when they released this to the press http://newsroom.spri...article_id=2179, they had sold 1.8M iPhones. The last recorded amount Isaw was 2.3M in a single quarter. That is not a high sales number when ATT and VZW sold over 6M in the very first quarter.
