1 Million Iphones Sold Last Weekend

I was watching the stock and Bes report on CNN the other day. They said over a million Iphones were sold over last weekend. It also caused the internet to actaully slow down due to everyone trying to activate their phones on the web.

A million phones in a weekend is mind blowing I know this has nothing to do with games but I found it very interesting. No I was not one of the million it looks cool but I don't like the apps right now for it.

I bought the Samsung Instinct instead, cheaper by far and its a great phone. Are those Number for real on the iphone?

Re: 1 Million Iphones Sold Last Weekend

It's really not that impressive of a number. Especially since it was a highly acclaimed worldwide launch. Nokia sells over 1.2 million phones worldwide PER DAY. Anyone remember how much Halo 3 and GTA:IV sold on launch day? That's impressive, not the iPhone 3G.

Also that "internet to slow down" is a load of crap. Maybe Apple's website if it operates on the same LAN as the activation servers, but not the whole internet that has no one "speed".

Re: 1 Million Iphones Sold Last Weekend

True..I thought it was just state side. I am hearing all kinds of complaints about the newer iphone but then again I hear a lot of complaints about the instinct to. Mine works fine.

Mekid the story hit several major news outlets think what you want. It is impressive for a cell phone. It was posted as info and Apple also released the new version of Itunes and quicktime the same weekend. If it's not interesting for you fine but no need to try and start a debate or compare it to a game release.
