Poll: One in three of you would switch networks for an iPhone

silicon.com readers are willing to swap mobile networks to get hold of an iPhone, according to exclusive research.

In our poll of more than 700 readers, a third said they would switch mobile network operators to get their hands on Apple's mobile phone.

Reports suggest there could be an announcement as soon as tomorrow on which mobile operator will offer the device - with 02 currently the front runner.

But whichever mobile network ends up offering the iPhone, it will be hoping that customers of rival operators are willing to switch providers to get hold of the gadget.

Apple recently revealed that it sold one million of its iPhones in just 74 days - compared to the two years the iPod took to hit the same sales milestone.

Since the launch it has also announced a significant cut to the cost of the iPhone in the US, as well as unveiling its iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store last week which the iPhone and new iPod touch will be able to use.

The device could quickly find its way into businesses with staff pushing employers to adopt the device, according to analysts.
