Apple’s iPhone 3G sales numbers blow by original iPhone

Just over a month into the iPhone 3G’s global sales push, it seems that Apple (NSDQ: AAPL) is about to see their iPhone 3G fleet surpass the number of original iPhones out in the wild. Basically, it comes down to Apple selling more iPhone 3G units, in less than two months, than the number of iPhones sold in a year of sales.

Sometime next week, we’re expecting Apple to pass the 6 million-unit mark with iPhone 3G sales. The iPhone 3G needed just a single weekend to move a cool million units in to eager iPhone hopefuls’ hands, and with sales still blazing around the world, we’ll likely see the iPhone 3G smash through more sales goals as time goes by.

Interestingly, sales of the iPhone 3G are still mighty strong despite scattered reports of 3G connectivity issues. That, dear readers, is the power of a truly unique and appealing UI.
