More than 100,000 Droid phones were sold in the first weekend since the device’s launch, estimates Mark McKechnie, an analyst with Broadpoint AmTech. That’s about half of the initial stock made available to Verizon and Best Buy stores nationwide.
“Demand seems brisk,” says McKechnie. “While we heard of no stores that were completely sold out, the majority reported that more than half of the initial stock was sold, and some said they had just a few remaining.”
By comparison, Apple sold more than 1 million of the latest iPhone model in its debut weekend.
Not shabby.
