iPhone sales estimates - preliminary surveys in UK suggest low adoption up front

Election time in the US gives rise to Poll-Data and keeping with the spirit of the times and watching the democratic nominees Poll-it-out made me look at another race that is oh-so-important to all of us mobile-geeks.

The iPhone Blog has undertaken a number of surveys to gauge the level of interest within the market for the iPhone. If the results are to be interpreted in a negative manner here is the gist of the findings:

7.6% of all respondents said that they’d definitely be getting an iPhone, but that number dropped to just 0.8% of people who don’t already own any Apple products.

On the bright side here is an important takeaway for people eager to see the iPhone do well:

A massive 46.2% said that they’d seriously consider getting an iPhone, but only if the available deal was attractive. 17.4% said they’d get it if nothing better was on the market, while 23.9% said that they were unlikely to get it, and 4.8% said they’d definitely not buy an iPhone. Generally, then, iPod users are more positive about their desire for the iPhone, presumably because of their existing trust in similar Apple products.
