LOL...you seriously doubt this? Googling (which you could just as easily have done) turned up... http://ce.seekingalpha.com/article/11670 While it is still too early to call, based on our channel checks, it appears that MOT Q is enjoying strong initial sales with retail stores reporting good availability and robust demand. In addition, Good Technology, which provides wireless email solution for enterprises, noted that the initial activations of its service on MOT Q far exceeds that associated with any new devices at the time of launch (e.g., Treos, HTC 8125, etc.). Stock impact: negative for PALM. http://www.blackberrycool.com/2006/06/13/001872/ At an invester conference in New York yesterday, Ron Garriques, president of Motorola's mobile device unit, stated that sales of the Q have exceeded company targets. Although he wouldn't specify sales figures, Garriques announced that Motorola expects to sell 750,000 Qs in the next 90 days and 5.25 million in the first nine months. http://news.softpedia.com/news/NPD-Group-Reports-Rise-of-Smartphone-Sales-43414.shtml Along with Blackberries and Treos fighting over the top spot, Motorola Q has come on particularly strong and gained the top spot on the top-five-best-selling smartphones list, followed by Palm Treo 650 on the second place, Verizon Wireless XV6700, Palm Treo 700p and Blackberry 8700. Realize that Palm sold 750K Treos total in its best quarter ever. Even if the numbers are comparable, the sum of Qs and Blackberries far exceeds Treos sold, especially through retail channels (Palm sells a lot through corporate accounts).
