Sony Ericsson K850
December 21st for Sony Stores USA
December 21st-Dec 28th AT&T Stores USA
-I used the demo and was loving it, the 850 is My dream phone though, so it was a big deal.
-The phone is slated to CRUSH I-Phone sales in Europe, they say in London alone it's release week last week, was the Biggest for any Phone ever Released there...
That's real, I can't wait for mine.
Enjoy
Upgrade Price = 150.00 after rebate...
That's what I was told by the AT&T reps and Sony Reps, I didn't believe it, and I'm still a skeptic...
Price over seas now = 600.00
I am ignorant if I do not except that the iPhone will kill both of THEM?? BOTH OF WHAT??
I may be going out on a limb here but I believe Windows PC's crush Apple PC's.....just a hunch.
The original N95 had sold more than 450,000 units in the US as of about a month ago, and I am sure those numbers have increased. And its a phone intended for the European market. And those numbers are actually phones sold to people, not how many phones Apple sold to AT&T to make it look like they sold them.
It doesnt matter how good or how bad the iPhone does overseas, it will neve...

The marketing alone will help the iPhone beat almost any other phone, and apple is great at marketing. It's all about perception, and apple is layin it on thick.
Apple had what, about 6 months of marketing on the iPhone, but the bottom line is it doesnt perform like the N95......and for me I would much rather have performance over sales figures anytime.
okkkk. well lets see after a year of sales U.S. whats selling more. The iphone or the N95. I AGREE, the N95 has more features than the iphone, so does will the k850. I am saying that the N95 will not crush the iphone as you stated. When you say crushed, I would think that you mean "did better" or "sold more", I wouldn't think crushed would mean "more features". I believe that the iphone will crush the N95 in the U.S., that would mean more sales. Thats what matters for us consumers. We need good sales for more releases. Why hasn't there been great Nokia sales in the U.S. for higher end phones such as the N95? Americans aren't willing to spend money unless you can convince them you get a great product for the money. ...

Well. I have to say this is a bit of a surprise. I was expecting the thing to do well, but not that well. The one odd bit of irony is that the first time I pulled the article, immediately underneath it was an ad for unlocked iPhones. So there's bound to be some portion of them that are vanishing into some manner of grey market.
I figured I'd share it because I recall that not long ago, some would-be expert was claiming that the iPhone was really a flop, and that the million units sold were just sitting in inventory somewhere. Whereas this piece cites the number of units delivered to consumers and seems to provide a decent 'warts and all' assessment. I'm not sure I see it becoming the top sell...
