Okay, so Sprint sold 100,000 Palm Pre units over one weekend when it first launched but that is just about 10% of the one million iPhone 3G S sold last weekend. Still, Spring is optimistic that they will soon be selling out their Pres.
As to when will they finally reach a million units, I am not sure. Apple has always been ahead of the game when it comes to launching new phones so Palm, Sprint, or other phone manufacturers should be more creative with their products if they want to beat the iPhone.

I AGREE WITH YOU ON THIS ONE. PALM MADE IT SEEM LIKE THE PRE WAS GOING TO BE THE BEST PHONE EVER. IT’S OK BUT IT STILL CANNOT COMPARE TO THE IPHONE 3GS OR THE IPHONE PERIOD. I DON’T KNOW IF SPRINT WILL EVER BE JUMP ON THE APPLE WAGON WHEN THE ATT EXCLUSIVITY IS UP BUT THEY REALLY SHOULD PLAN FOR IT IF THEY REALLY WANT TO MAKE SOME REAL MONEY.
