1 edit | Evo is likely sold through more channels Evo is sold through Sprint stores, every phone reseller that carries Sprint, Radio Shack (5000 stores), Best Buy (1000 stores) and Walmart online. How many channels was iPhone sold through the first weekend? Most people want to buy iPhone at an Apple store but there are only a couple/few stored per market, so long lines. There are dozens of other local channels for the Evo.
Most went to Radio Shack because they waived the mail-in rebate.
Do a google news search and you'll see it sold out all over the country. Many on androidcentral said stores have sold out.
The big question is, how many were available the first weekend? They didn't have enough.
Apple sold about 1M per weekend for each iPhone launch. If Evo sold 500K, it would still be 5x greater than the first Droid launch. I'm guessing 300K-500K... they had a lot of pre-orders.
BTW, I got mine around noon. Heard that store sold out by 2PM. |
