That sounds good to me.

Analyst estimates 100,000 DROID smartphones sold in first weekend

Glad to hear that the Droid is such a success. I am curious to hear the final numbers for both Droids from Verizon. I know that every store in my area sold out of all the ones they had. 2 Verizon stores (not corporate) received 30 phones each and sold every last one of them. The corporate Verizon store had "about 100" sold when I spoke to one of the guys there on Sunday. The Best Buy across the street received 50 and sold all of those. So that is over 200 Droids out on the street just in my little area of the world.

Nobody could really give me numbers on the Eris though.

I picked my phone up about mid afternoon on release day at the Verizon kiosk at the local wholesale club. I asked how they were selling and the girl said they had only sold 4 and started with 50.

She did say the corporate store the next town over was very busy but had no numbers.

I picked mine up release day about noon time frame, and they were going out of the store quick. The girl that helped me said she had sold 50 already that morning, and that she came in a 4:30 to get ready for the release rush.

I'd like to see this phone take off, but analysts' comments mean nothing to me. I want to know exactly how he arrived at this number. If Motorola/Verizon won't comment directly, then he's just guessing like every other analyst does and they are more often wrong than right.

I am in that number somewhere...

All the Best Buys in my area (5 ) sold all their pre-sales out in 1-2 days. I was able to find 1 Best Buy that had 5 slots for pre-order open.

I went into my Verizon store on release day at 10:30 am, and it wasn't packed, but there was a steady stream of people coming in to play with the Droid and check it out. The staff there told me that they got about 80 and had already sold 40 of them that morning. They opened up at 7 am and had a line of people waiting. I got mine and am still amazed at all the stuff it can do so well.

Just bought mine an hour and a half ago. Haven't had much time with it but I'm typing on it now. Couldn't be happier, already love it. The keyboard isn't as bad as everyone says. This is the first qwerty keyboard phone I've ever had, upgraded from a flip phone so after some practice it should be easy. Glad to be one of the 100,000. Love this phone..
