Bookmark topic
Apple sold around half a million iPhones the first weekend the device went on sale, one analyst firm has estimated.
Esato News
Piper Jaffray's Gene Munster released a report Sunday night estimating that Apple sold about 500,000 units from 6 p.m. Friday through the close of business Sunday. Going into the weekend Munster thought Apple would sell 200,000 on Friday and Saturday.Despite low supply at AT&T stores and activation issues, it appears that the iPhone era at Apple got off to a good start. Piper Jaffray said Apple had iPhones available in each one of its stores on Saturday, and in 84 percent of its stores Sunday.Ninety-five percent of iPhone buyers in San Francisco, New York and Minneapolis (home to Piper Jaffray's offices) purchased the 8GB model, according to a survey conducted by the firm. About half were new customers for AT&T, at least among the 253 people surveyed for the report. source:

hope its soon and I hope they do a simfree one, last thing I want is one locked to orange or voda...
I also find it disapointing that some basic functions are missed on the iphone such as bluetooth transferee.. It may be different on the EU launch, and new firmware will come in due time, I don't even think It can send a MMS...
il still buy one as I liek the keyboard and the idea of a phone that will fully sync with my mac

I hope so, but I believe it will not be as successful as it is hyped.

Now all of us should recognize Apple's success in marketing.
SE,Nokia and the rest can learn a lot from them.
iPhone is behind current high end technology asa a phone but they know how to sell it, for sure.

500,000 sold..... and half of them listed on ebay
no seriously though, have you seen how many are on ebay now? Many people would have bought as many as they can and listed them on ebay for profit, whilst of course keeping one for them self.
