Verizon stops iPhone sales after supply bought out

Verizon found sales of its new iPhone so brisk that the company had to stop selling the phone because it ran out of inventory in less than a day.

Pent-up demand by Verizon customers meant the company sold out of its first shipment of around 100,000 iPhones within 17 hours on Thursday.

It marked the largest ever product launch for Verizon. The company exceeded its previous record within the first two hours of sales.

Pre-sales of Verizon's iPhone were limited to existing customers with orders pouring in until about 8 p.m., when Verizon exhausted its initial allotment of the phones.


Analysts say that first-day sales indicate that Verizon can probably expect to sell more than 11 million iPhones during 2011.

Anyone considering waiting it out and buying a VZW IPhone 4 may want to wait a little longer, speculation is that the IPhone 5 which will be 4G should be released later this year, says MSNBC.

I just saw it on MSNBC's Tech Report... kinda hard to link it lol

Turn on MSNBC they repeat the same stuff all day like everyone else, so sure they will talk about it again.

4G means little, i agree, but the fifth gen icrap will supposedly be touting a 1.5 ghz proc or a apple's dual core variant of whatever is used these days...the list goes on.

Unless the iPhone 5 can handle widgets and has an app drawer to keep the homescreen clean, then I'll pass

In the end, ll the phones do the same thing, and they will all be blazingly fast when I'm due for an upgrade (September) so all that will really matter to me is which device looks the best and has the best looking OS and ROM.

To me dual core is not worth investing in until the end of this or beginning of next year...

Yikes, I just saw a review on CNN where a lot of tech guys are saying the Verizon iPhone is half as fast on the 3G network as AT&Ts...

Thats not good. That means that there will be more people on the VZW network spending almost half as much more time searching on the network because of slow data speeds and we're supposed to think that this won't bog down the network to a slow crawl?

Not looking forward to the next year... Going to see a noticeable dropoff in speeds...
