Verizon Droid Sales vs iPhone 3GS Sales 2009

November 12, 2009 · Filed Under Cell Phones/Mobile Phones · 4 Comments 

Verizon Droid sales this November did not even come close to the iPhone 3GS sales in June this year. Verizon Droid lost the sales race to iPhone. Motorola Droid sales did not meet experts’ expectation despite the hype created by the Verizon Droid Does ads online and other media. Verizon Wireless’ Droid allegedly sold 100K units only during its weekend release compared to the iPhone 3GS weekend sales in June which reached some 1M units (and counting). Apple must really be happy about this news update. lol!

What went wrong with the sales of Verizon Droid? What happened to the Motorola Droid Phone fever despite the “come on” promise of cheaper Droid Apps ? We can never really tell how the sales figures will change over the next couple of months but some say they were not satisfied with the audio of the Droid phone which must have influenced the buying behavior and preference of consumers. Some also said the estimated Verizon Droid sales figures (in number of units) reached 400K (max), not a sold out as expected. At any rate, we hope the sales will go up in the next few weeks even if other competing brands like Blackberry Bold 9700 Onyx Mobile Phone comes out (FYI, release date was delayed/postponed from November 5 to November 16 according to rumors).
