I also would bet that tons of iPhones are gifts that do not get activated right away. There are likely a lot coming out of AT&T and Apple shops and ending up unopened and unactivated on the shelf of private cell phone shops and flea market cell booths, etc. I have seen them for sale in such locations.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17898384.post-9178057710271220762007-08-13T03:28:00.000-07:002007-08-13T03:28:00.000-07:00Hi Alex NaHow is your counter counting?Beacause 49...Hi Alex Na<BR/><BR/>How is your counter counting?<BR/>Beacause 496 iphones sold seems to be low...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17898384.post-89347348371856295382007-07-26T09:03:00.000-07:002007-07-26T09:03:00.000-07:00This page is designed to count all the iPhone sold...This page is designed to count all the iPhone sold.

Thank you.<BR/><BR/>There's a lot of things about the iPhone that remind me of the early days with the Treo and I find it funny how so many pundits, analysts, users and reviewers seem to live in this bubble where no other mobile products have ever existed. Otherwise they wouldn't be so surprised over a missing feature, or a certain user experience, etc.<BR/><BR/>It feels as if the culture of celebrity has slightly turned its focus toward the iPhone. The media follows Paris' every move and they seem to be doing the same with this. Is the iPhone the Paris Hilton of mobile technology? :-)Mashbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14216136907061870525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17898384.post-53655873484731561822007-07-26T02:05:00.000-07:002007-07-26T02:05:00.000-07:00just one quick comment: iPhones went on sales in b...just one quick comment: iPhones went on sales in both AT&T retail stores and Apple stores. Then, if you wanted to activate the phone, you had to do it via iTunes.<BR/>I'm not sure that, for that second phase, all customers did it all the way: maybe some of them did not want to commit to the dedicated price plans for 24 months ? Maybe many of them just used a prepaid plan ? <BR/>My guess is that AT&T is keeping track of the iPhone price plans actually activated (i.e, customers using the full-blown iPhone features), rather than the number of phones sold (i.e, some of them could be using only the iPod functions, and not have a data plan to browse while on the move) ?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
