Yes. There is a lot of speculation about exactly what kind of exclusive deal they have, but it definitely must be pretty beneficial to both sides for it to have survived for 3 years...given AT&T's rather mediocre performance (speaking from personal experience, of course, I've heard that others have had no problems with AT&T and the iPhone)
