Lets have this conversation when iPhone sales take a sudden drop while Android phone sales continue to grow.

A study was released today that sort of confirms this.

Yesterday Apple and Verizon opened up the pre-order online store for existing Verizon customers to reserve an iPhone 4. Verizon Wireless issued a press release stating that they stopped taking pre-orders last night at 8:10 pm EST in their most successful first day of sales in their history.

Online sample company uSamp, which conducted a "highly profiled online panel" of more than 700 smartphone users in late January, published the results Thursday. The survey found that 54 percent of respondents who have an Android or BlackBerry smartphone on Verizon are either very likely (25 percent) or somewhat likely (29 percent) to purchase the Verizon iPhone when it arrives next week.
The report could signal particularly grim news for Research in Motion, as BlackBerry users demonstrated higher interest in switching to the iPhone, with 66 percent indicating a probable switch, compared to 44 percent of Android users. RIM's BlackBerry has lost significant share on Verizon as the carrier has heavily promoted its Android offerings. With the arrival of the iPhone, the BlackBerry on Verizon has been relegated to third place.
