RBC sees ‘unprecedented pent-up demand’ for Apple iPhone 3G

“Consumers have ‘unprecedented’ demand for Apple’s phone, according to new data from RBC’s Technology Adoption Panel,” Dan Frommer reports for SIlicon Alley Insider.

From RBC analyst Mike Abramsky’s note:

• 56% of those planning to buy a smartphone in the next 90 days plan to purchase an iPhone, up from 35% in March.

• Purchase interest in Apple is 2x or more that of other brands surveyed: RIM 23% (RIMM), Palm 3% (PALM), HTC 2%, Nokia 2% (NOK), Samsung 2%, Motorola 1% (MOT), others 11%.

• The jump is the largest interest ahead of any consumer phone launch recorded by RBC’s panel since 2003.
