IPhone 3G Sales Records - Presales SoaringFor New IPhone 3g
By Corey T Bruhn
The 3G iPhone hasn't even come out yet and already the demand is so high it looks like they'll be out of stock before they hit the shelves. O2, a leading UK smartphone marketplace and the exclusive online iPhone retailer for the UK market, announced today, just five days before the second generation iPhone's official release date on Friday, July 11, that they've received such an unprecedented influx of preorders for the device that it actually crashed their server!
This within just 1 hour of this morning's 8 a.m. pre-order opening as about 200,000 avid Apple fans registered with the site to express their interest in purchasing the device. In fact, site spokespeople even claimed to already be completely out of stock of 3G iPhones until (at least) the day before the highly-anticipated release. And even then, there's no certainty when they'll be able to replenish their supply, as it depends in large part on how many of the 3G iPhones Apple can produce in time. This incredible demand means only one thing to technophiles and Apple enthusiasts everywhere: that you'd better secure yourself a 3G iPhone ASAP if you want to own one before there are no more left to buy. Part of the appeal of the new iPhone, no doubt, is the lower price, basically half of the price of the first generation iPhone.
This is especially appealing to those people who wanted to purchase an iPhone from the very beginning but couldn't afford one or were waiting for Apple to iron out the bugs. Now, with the existence of the iPhone SDK (software developers kit) and the iTunes-like iPhone App Store (which also, conveniently, comes out this Friday) it looks like that time has finally come. One web reporter revealed that iPhone fanatics are already camping out front of the Apple Store in the Big Apple itself, trying to get a leg up on the inevitable long lines. Another online iPhone retailer, Carphone Warehouse, reported that more than 10 times the people who pre-ordered the original iPhone last year registered their interest in the new iPhone this week.
A combination cell phone, music and video player, and web browser, by the end of this year the 3G iPhone will be sold in over 70 countries worldwide. 8 a.m. Friday morning will be a telling moment for the entire technology industry, as Apple will either meet, beat, or disappoint what seem to be overwhelming expectations. Especially interested in the response to the new device are manufacturers of the various "iPhone Killers" on the market, such as: Sprint's Samsung Instinct, the HTC Touch Diamond, the LG Voyager and LG Dare, and the upcoming BlackBerry Thunder. On another, related, note, consumers who prefer prepaid smartphone can look forward to a pay-as-you-go iPhone reportedly coming out around Christmas-time.
