Wow! It's absolutely incredible, but the new iPhone G3 introduction, over the weekend, has not only been a smashing success, it has sold approximately an incredible four times as many phones over the weekend - a scant three days, as did the original iPhone did last year!
According to Apple's CEO, Steve Jobs:
"iPhone 3G had a stunning opening weekend."
But just how stunning has it been? Well, according to a report by AppleInsider, Apple sold as many as a million plus iPhone G3's over the weekend. The first gen iPhone, which was an amazing run away success, took almost two and one-half months to accomplish the same. I would say that was indeed a stunning achievement, and as AppleInsinder also reported:
"The three day sales total is sure to send a shriver down the spines of rival handset makers...."
In an other report they pointed out that in spite of all of the problems, that people had getting their new iPhone activated, Apple's new App Store still reported an equally amazing number of downloads for the same period - some ten million of them! Truly, the App Store is just as big as a success as the iPhone is itself.

Many thanks for your comment usaexprssmoving. I agree that the iPhone isn't for everyone, but unlike you, I believe that it is still, by far, better than any other mobile out there. Phones like the Instinct only exist because of the iPhone. It is a direct attempt to copy it. Of course, some phones are better than the iPhone in certain areas, I agree, like having a better camera or what have you? In the end, however, the iPhone's incredible ease of use and other compelling factors, make it the must have gadget!
I still can't understand why the iPhone is a big success. Well no, I completely understand why it's a success, but to have people continue to buy it when there is honestly nothing new about it? Sure, it's on a faster network, but Sprint and Helio have been on 3G for a while now, and Helio even offers the Ocean phone which is still better than the iPhone in regards to what you can do with it. The new Sprint Instinct is also infinitely better offering more ways to customize it personally instead of looking like every other trendy person walking around a major city.
