Typically the iPhone is the talk of the town when sales numbers and “sell outs” are concerned as such things often include large sales volumes and quick sell outs when considering how many phones they actually push out. But they’re not the only cool kid in town anymore. For the last month, our European friends have had to sit back and watch us poke and prod our lovely Moto Droid’s in jealousy, longing for the day that such happiness can fall upon them. That day came in the form of December 10th — yesterday. Anyone who had doubts about Android’s European presence and outlook can effectively bury such fears. The Moto Milestone sold out in 2.5 hours via the exclusive sales partner “eXpansys”.
According to eXpansys, pre-orders quickly surpassed 1,00 units. In fact, pre-orders sailed past the millennium mark so quickly and easily that eXpansys had to increase their order for Moto Milestones — twice. For that feat, the Milestone has earned itself the gold medal in fastest sell outs with eXpansys claiming it’s the fastest device sell out in 11 years of operations. Those feeling bummed they didn’t order before on-hand stock dried up can cling to hope as another shipment of Milestones is set to arrive before Christmas giving eager buyers a second chance to score the Android handset of the year.
Those interested can keep checking eXpansys’s website an impatiently hitting that refresh button like it’s goin’ out of style.
