01.01.70
AT&T responded to the Senator's request by saying it has 900,000 handsets with Carrier IQ installed, with around 575,000 of those actively sending data that's supposedly strictly limited to the collection of diagnostic information about their network.
Motorola's Atrix 2 and Bravo have it installed, as do Pantech's Pursuit II, Breeze 3, P5000 (Link2) and Pocket handsets. Sierra Wireless' Shockwave, LG's Thrill, ZTE's Avail and Z331 also feature it. Finally, the carrier is using the software with Sony's Xperia Play. They also listed three models that have it installed but is non-functional as the software could petentially interfere with handset performance. The three are HTC's Vivid, LG's Nitro and Samsung's Skyrocket.
The US' second largest wireless carrier also admitted Carrier IQ's software is packaged in AT&T's Mark the Spot application, which is available from Android's Marketplace as well as RIM's BlackBerry App World.
