Apple’s iPhone outsold all smartphones in the United States in July, its first full month on sale, research group iSuppli said on Tuesday.
ISuppli reiterated its forecast that Apple would sell 4.5 million iPhones this year, rising to more than 30 million in 2011.
The two models of the iPhone sold more than Research in Motion’s Blackberry series, the entire Palm portfolio and any individual smartphone model from Motorola, Nokia or Samsung.
The iPhone will be the bestselling Christmas phone in the country.
Wait and see.

In case of doubt, just compare.
Steve Jobs answers Walt Mossberg’s iPhone questions via email.
Some quotes:
“When you subtract the $200 cost of an iPod, which is included in the iPhone, the rest of the iPhone costs just $299.”
“Like all small keyboards, it takes three or four days to get used to.
iPhone users will quickly learn to trust its intelligence to correct their mistakes automatically.
So far, everyone who has used it loves it, and reports that they are typing as fast or faster than they did on their Treo or BlackBerry or other smart phone.”
Read and watch here, the Walt Mossberg review of the iPhone, which ends with this paragraph:
“Expectations for the iPhone have been so high that it can’t possibly meet them all. It isn’t for the average person who just wants a cheap, small phone for calling and texting.
But, despite its network limitations, the iPhone is a whole new experience and a pleasure to use.”
