[FONT=&quot]All Things D’s John Paczkowski reports today on a new survey from BTIG Research which found that the iPhone is the best-selling smartphone in Verizon and AT&T stores. BTIG Research polled 250 Verizon and AT&T stores in the U.S. and asked them to name their best-selling phone. According to ATD, 51 percent of Verizon stores said that the iPhone was their number one seller, and 38 percent said it was joint first with an Android phone, usually the Samsung Droid Charge or the HTC Thunderbolt.

[FONT=&quot]As far as the AT&T stores polled were concerned, the iPhone fared even better, with 65 percent of stores saying that it was their top seller, and 31 percent naming an Android phone as the top seller. [/FONT]

“At AT&T, there were actually a handful of stores that mentioned a BlackBerry and a Windows Phone as the top seller in their store,” said BTIG analyst Walter Piecyk. “We never got that response from any of the Verizon stores, which have dated versions of the BlackBerry.”
