Apple sold 1 million iPhone 3Gs, I’m not debating that. The question is did they sell 1 million to customers or 1 million to operators (carriers as they’re known in the states) who then sold 450,000 to customers according to Piper Jaffray Analyst Gene Munster.

The world may never know, but in my eyes 1 million sold is 1 million sold. Profit = profit. Way to go Apple.

    Yea, no offense Stefan but Nokia is going downhill.

    I know they ship 10X more devices, but their latest offerings havent really been anything special.

    We’ll have to see what Nokia can do w/ their new 8 Megapixel cameraphone.

    BTW – Have you seen it yet, Mr. Symbian VIP? :)
