“The device is also said to have achieved a modest gain in sales volume from May to June in North America, though shipment numbers remained flat in some markets,” MacNN reports. “Faucette suggests a few of Apple’s competitors have not showed such strength in the smartphone market.

What will it look like in September / October?
We thought we saw long lines in the past iPhone introductions. You ain’t seen nothin’ yet. Pre-orders numbers are likely to go through the freakin’ roof. Apple again will have a very difficult time keeping up with demand. Apple is going to set some unbelievable iPhone sales records like selling millions of units the first day.
With computer-free iPhone activation and iCloud coming online, the consumers are just going to go nuts with simplcity and ease of use.
I’m not worried about availability when the next iPhone comes out. I’m pretty sure they’ll have enough for those of us *already* in line.
I have an iPhone 3G and will be getting two when they update.

Or DON’T buy two PlayBooks and we’ll throw OUT two Curves and TWO CEOs!
