Verizon Wireless: Who needs the iPhone?

Verizon Wireless may not have had the iPhone, but it managed to pull off an impressive quarter in terms of subscriber additions. The operator added 1.5 million new post-paid subscribers, while prepaid, wholesale and acquisitions chipped in another 600,000. And like AT&T, much of Verizon Wireless' growth was in the high-end smartphone line, where data revenues and high-dollar contracts helped boost average revenue per user.
