Earlier this week it had been rumored that the presales for the T-Mobile G1 had hit the 1.5 million figure. It was also said that another 2 million of the first Google Android handsets could be sold by retailers.
These figures then proved to be a little optimistic; pre-orders sales are not even close to 1.5 million handsets. If that is not the correct figure, then what is? The Apple iPhone did not hit 1 million sales until 74 days of constant selling.
You have to ask yourself who came up with the figure of 1.5 million, the iPhone sales that I mentioned above were for worldwide sales, that 1.5 million figure was just for the United States. So what is the correct figure for T-Mobile G 1 sales?

It seems to me that the sales declaration of 1 500 000 Gi phones is a delusional attempt to squash the Iphone success. If it was not for Apple the computers and the phones would still look the same with little functional features. The whole competition is chasing Apple innovations, but always behind.
