The phones went on sale at 6 pm friday and the second quarter ended on Saturday.
Still 146k vs. 700k estimated is quite a discrepancy. I wonder how much the activation problems hurt those numbers and also if they take into account the phones sold by Apple stores.

...Richard Farmer of Merrill Lynch takes the cake, when he stomps his feet and says, “we expected more days of selling in June.” We know Steve is God, but even he can’t add extra days to June....
...Over a period of 30 hours (including night time) equates to 4867 iPhone activations per hour or 82 activations per second.

all those phones weren't activated because of the widespread problems AT&T was having activating the damn phones.. most weren't enabled until 24-48 hours later!
