Carphone Warehouse sells 11k iPhones on launch weekend

Link: undefined

Carphone Warehouse claims to have sold 11,000 iPhones over the first weekend of the Apple device’s launch on Nov 9. This is slightly above its earlier estimates of 10,000, and represents one fifth of the retailer’s initial iPhone stock. O2, meanwhile, says that 8,000 customers registered an iPhone with the network on Nov 9, of which a quarter did so within one hour of the launch. The announcement contradicts earlier reports, which suggested that initial sales failed to meet expectations, in part due to less visible hype and crowded stores than at the US launch, on Jun 29
