Actual shocker: Moto DROID outsells iPhone in first 74 days on sale.

  • March 16, 2010 9:59 am

Alright, why 74 days as a benchmark? It’s a bid odd for sure. The iPhone took 74 days to hit 1 million units sold, so it’s an easy benchmark to go by for other phones. In the case of the DROID, it’s met and surpassed the iPhone’s once thought unbeatable number by roughly half a million — no small feat I’d say. Margin of error is claimed to be pretty low since Flurry’s (the company doing the analytics grunt work) analytics tools are on over 80% of all the devices highlighted above.

I knew the DROID did considerably well for Android, Verizon, and Moto, but I’m definitely more surprised that it even beat the iPhone. A new champ we now have, that is, until summer rolls around…

Anyone else surprised?

    I’m actually impressed with the figures. Even though Droid sold more than the iPhone in this comparison, you have to remember that the iPhone ($500-$600) was going for twice as much as what the droid ($199) was going for.

      Good point. I’d really like to see iPhone 3G/S comparisons as I know those sold like truckloads of hotcakes dipped in sugar.
