AT&T this morning shared in the results news and said it had one of its best fall quarters in recent memory. In late 2009, the company added 2.7 million new cellular customers and says it activated a total 3.1 million iPhones; the totals are the second-best in its history both for total additions as well as iPhone activations, falling just short of the record 3.2 million Apple devices from the summer. It now has a total of 85.1 million customers and grew faster than Verizon, closing the gap between the two by 500,000 subscribers.
