Even IF the sales #ers are below ANY analysis….. WHO CARES @ this point this is gravy 4 AAPL. The REAL 3ers are going to 2B the Mac sales and more importantly the App Store sales… so many miss this very obvious revenue vehicle. You all think iTunes was a success…. This App Store is going to put music sales to SHAME.

iJah420 says RIM must not B2 happy.

Perhaps the limited release is due to the fact that Apple knew their systems could not manage any more activations. I will give them the benefit of the doubt even though I find the process of getting a phone both insulting and irritating. – Not the way to treat a cash customer. If there is a snag with my direct fulfillment order, I will cancel.

I couldn't find one on Friday either. I ordered it as well through ATT and paid 15 bucks extra for rush shipping 3-5days… and now its on backorder… WTF??

It really doesn't matter how many phones Apple sells this weekend. What matters is how many phones they sell over the next 24 months. I think that number is going to be huge, like 50 million.

Apple would have sold 2 million 3G iPhones on lauch weekend, but all the AT&T and Apple stores sold out of 3G iPhones by Sunday morning. The 3G iPhone will continue to sell as consumer's contracts with other cellphones run out and they renew with an iPhone. Download all the free apps and try them out. Download some of the Apps for less than $10, that's cheap entertainment.

These sales figures represent highly wishful thinking.

All iPhones were sold out from all AT&T and Apple stores by Sunday morning. iPhone is the best smartphone. The critics can review all the imitations but they are wasting their time. All the competition have had 1 year to copy the iPhone and they haven't come close to the old iPhone. How are they going to stand up against the 3G iPhone with the App store?

Download all the free Apps and see how cool the iPhone is. Then download some games like Super MonkeyBall. You'll need to get used to the tilt control so don't complain. It takes a few tries to get used to.

You can almost break the analysis up by how many were sold versus how many were activated. I think the number sold this weekend was closer to 1.5 million, though only about 1 million were acitvated in the United states. Based on reviews and recent analyst comments ( http://www.savingtoinvest.com/2008/07/apple-3g-iphone-update-and-analyst.html ) the phone should get over it's initial hiccups and far exceed targets. Global figures (eg in Australia where it is alredy Monday) are already well ahead of estimates.

This is The Best Phone Ever Made

Period. End of Sentence.

As good as this phone is, I think the App Store will be the greatest feature ever added to ANY phone. It is super easy to use, and already soooo many cool applications available. I suspect in a few months there will be THOUSANDS of wonderful applications to choose from, making this phone relevent for a very, very, long time. I am already getting excited thinking about my next phone: iPhone 4G !
