AT&T already announced their quarterly results earlier this week, throwing cold water on theories that the loss of their iPhone exclusivity would hurt them. Now rival carrier Verizon has divulged their own numbers for the same period, with their CDMA-based iPhone making up about a third of Apple’s U.S. handset sales for the quarter.

9to5Mac is reporting that Verizon Wireless has just announced their quarterly results for the period ending March 31 -- which just so happens to include the first seven weeks of iPhone 4 sales on the CDMA carrier, who finally manage to wrangle exclusivity away from rival AT&T back in January.

So how did Verizon manage to do with the iPhone 4? In those first seven weeks, the company activated 2.2 million of Apple’s iconic handset. That’s roughly a third of the 6.75 million iPhones that Apple claims to have sold in the U.S. for the same quarter -- meaning that AT&T sold nearly twice as many of the handsets, despite Verizon announcing the iPhone 4 close to the start of the year. (AT&T activated 3.6 million iPhones during the quarter, which leaves nearly a million units in inventory yet to be sold.)

Verizon also launched the HTC Thunderbolt toward the end of the same quarter, with the carrier activating 260,000 of the first 4G LTE handsets in only two weeks. The company’s revenue increased 6.3 percent overall, with Verizon now claiming 104 million total connections, including 88.4 million retail customers.

All eyes will now be on July, when both carriers will announce their second-quarter financial results, which should include the white iPhone 4 at long last -- but presumably no iPhone 5, which is rumored to debut in September rather than the traditional June/July timeframe.
