I wonder why there were only 146,000 registrations when it has been widely reported that 700,000 iPhones were sold?
Tim

Sales of the iPhone began just 30 hours before the official end of the AT&T fiscal second quarter. That 146,000 is the total number of activations that occurred in that 30 hours. This is from the AT&T announcement:

"Sales of the Apple iPhone have been robust. The June 29 launch allowed for less than two days of sales and activations before the end of the quarter. In that time, AT&T activated 146,000 iPhone subscribers, more than 40 percent of them new subscribers. Sales of the iPhone continue to be strong in July with store traffic above historical levels."

The number of iPhones sold to date will be much higher because of that.

Re: 146,000 registrations?

I tend to agree. They seemed to think everyone would activate their phones, immediately. But, due to system glitches, many people were unable to. Although another article I saw today says that AT&T says only 2% or fewer iPhone activators had problems activating that first weekend.

Also, everyone is talking about "two days", when it was really only one day and six hours, because the iPhone did not go on sale until 6 PM, Friday evening.
