  • iPhone 4 sells a record shattering 1.7M in first three days

  • Somehow, we still tolerate each other. Eventually this will be the only forum left.

I can see Apple overtaking RIM soon on the market to take the #2 position behind Nokia in the Smart Phone industry. Over 100 million iPhone and related devices sold. iPhone 4 breaking not just the previous mobile industry record by a very large margin (previously 1 million, now 1.7 million), but also beating out all other records set by other divisions within Apple. Stocks took off of course, extending Apple's Market Cap lead over Microsoft. To put it into perspective, the EVO sold 65K in 3 days and that was considered brag worthy by the Republic of China based HTC.

This is my third most anticipated electronics device next to affordable glasses free 3DTVs, and the Nintendo 3DS. It's out soon in Canada =)

For mobile phones enthusiasts like myself, it doesn't get better than this =)

Most of these are existing Apple fans, though.

Yeah you'd have to show me how many active AT&T subscribers currently have iphones before I get impressed. Most of the sales by now are people upgrading from previous iphones so I will hand it to Apple for making their consumers feel like the device they bought 1-2 years ago is utter shit now and they need to get a new one NOW. They won't overtake RIM in the number of actively subscribed phones anytime soon... the only reason they'd sell more is because most blackberry's are company issued and people are at the mercy of said company for when/if they get upgrades.
