    Has to be verizon. They brought down the house with the BOGO promotion a few months ago. ATT is all about iPhones now and the other 2 don't have the subscriber base to compete.

    I believe its Verizon as well, tho I've encountered a lot of ATT BB owners as well.

    LOL. "Very large govt agency?". As though there are ANY small ones?

    Curious to note that at a time where MILLIONS of private sector jobs are being lost at a steady drumbeat, government continues to add hundreds and hundreds of thousands of jobs to their payrolls. There was a time where government jobs paid poorly and were in scarce supply. Now government jobs seem to pay better than the private sector, are more secure, offer better benefits, give more time off, and are growing at a wreckless pace.

    A famous politician once observed ... "The closest thing you'll ever find to eternal life is a temporary government program."

    Scary.

    Well back to the topic at hand, the answer to the question of the thread as many have observed must be Verizon. They are the largest mobile carrier in the nation and it would track that they would have the largest base of BlackBerry users.

    Well, it's not just cause they're the biggest carrier out there. But rather that they have the Storm (which many people switched carriers just for that). And then you got that whole buy one get one free promotion they just had a couple months ago. They've just been the one that has had the biggest promotions involving BB's than any other carrier.

    This article was from last year and claims AT&T but gives no proof. But now it is driving me crazy that I can't remember where I read that at. So looks like I won't be getting any work done today until I track this down.

    Another article from late 2008 that says the same thing

    I also work for a large govt agency and we have BB from all carriers. It is a good idea to spread yourself around. Don't want to depend on just one carrier should they have issues.

    Searching through all of RIM press releases the last time they mention who is the largest provider was 8/2008. Not sure why they are keeping it such a secret.

    Now I can get back to work.

    I would say it would have to be Verizon. They are the only carrier to offer a Blackberry model exclusively.

    AT&T has the iPhone. Sprint has the Palm Pre. T-Mobile has the G1. Verizon has the Blackberry Storm.

    I'd go with Verizon also but it would be nice to see some sources behind that.

    Definitely Verizon... AT&T #2.

    Sprint and T-Mobile.. who knows.. but I'd imagine Sprint being ahead of T-Mobile with more corporate accounts (although I'm sure most of them are for Nextel)

    Don't under estimate Sprint.
    There are alot of Sprint and Sprint/Nextel's out there.
    Sprint/Nextel has the only BlackBerry with direct connect.

    I think it would depend on geographic region. I got my first BB in the SF bay area. ATT was the best network in that area as far as I am aware. Thus most BB users in the Bay are probably on ATT. I don't know who has the best network nationally, they all claim to be the best. I'm sure there are some independent studies out there somewhere?

    That thoroughly annoying "beep-beep" thing that teenagers use at the malls talking to each other over the Nextel radio rather than making conventional phone calls. You know, the thing where you hear the entire conversation over the back and forth radio function punctuated with "beep-beep" every 4 seconds?

    Completely annoying.

    Oh, AT&T had that feature on a dumb phone I used to have and called it push to talk. I don't see it being a big feature used by Blackberry users.
