AT&T's Q2 results: 146k iPhones in the first two days, 18 Billion text messages

It's earnings season, and straight out of AT&T's earnings call, AT&T reported 146,000 iPhone subscribers activated their phones on June 29th and 30th.  Apple investors seem less than pleased, as the stock is down $3.90 right now, but putting it in context, the broader indices are down across the board.

AT&T, also competing for "most text messages in a quarter" took the crown from previously announced winner, Verizon, almost doubling their text message total.  AT&T says its subscribers sent an astounding 18 billion messages, and 270 mms messages.  Take that "the network!"
