What? Who would be dumb enough to spend money to switch from AT&T to Verizon right now and pay all that money for the same phone they currently own when there's a new handset coming out in 4 months?

Quote:
The company said it sold more phones in the first two hours of taking orders, between midnight and 2 a.m. on the West Coast and between 3 a.m. and 5 a.m. on the East Coast, than it had in 24 hours of sales on any other device in its history. It halted pre-orders by the evening of Feb. 3 but plans to resume them Feb. 9.


2 hours. More profitable than the first 24 hours of any other device. What launch would be more successful than that?

I love the Steve Jobs emails, hes blunt about his answers and straight to the point. And he won't sugarcoat it to you to be nice.

I'm gonna gt an iPhone, but don't think I can wait 4 more months with my shitberry.

People who live in San Francisco, Los Angeles, Boston and other places where AT&T blows goats.

Verizon Press Release wrote:
BASKING RIDGE, N.J. – At 8:10 p.m. EST yesterday, Verizon Wireless ceased online orders of iPhone 4 to existing customers and ended the most successful first day sales in the history of the company.

"This was an exciting day," said Dan Mead, president and chief executive officer for Verizon Wireless. "In just our first two hours, we had already sold more phones than any first day launch in our history. And, when you consider these initial orders were placed between the hours of 3 a.m. and 5 a.m., it is an incredible success story. It is gratifying to know that our customers responded so enthusiastically to this exclusive offer --- designed to reward them for their loyalty.


Wanna try that again?

Pretty impressive for a phone that's already been on the market for 7 months.

Do you believe everything that you read? Do you ever consider the source?

All kinds of analysts and pundits have been commenting on it. There are multitudes of different opinions from plenty of people.

What do you consider more informed on the sales numbers, pundits or the company who actually sold the phones?
