Orange iPhone Sales Exceed Expectations

Today is the day a lot of iPhone fans here in the UK have been waiting for – The release of the iPhone on Orange. And I’m not surprised that the sales of the iPhone have been humongous!

Our friend Conor from orange told us this:

• Orange are delighted to reveal,  that as of 4pm today Orange had sold more than 30,000 iPhones across  the UK – smashing what we believe is the previously published first  day sales records for a handset in the UK
• At the same time, Orange’s first  ever exclusive UK app – Orange Wednesdays – has gone to the top slot in the  Entertainment Category, and hit second place in the free apps chart on the  Apple App Store. The app combines the latest film reviews and trailers with up  to date info on what’s on, where films are showing, information on how to get  there and the ability to redeem the 2-for-1 Orange Wednesdays cinema voucher  on your Orange iPhone.
• Orange’s 3G mobile network covers more  people in the UK  than any other, and is currently the focus of our recently launched  £multi-million pound advertising campaign, which from today features the  iPhone, entitled ‘You’re Covered’.

These figures are sure to keep climbing day after day and I would imagine that Vodafone will be doing everything in their power to get their iPhone in the shops as soon as possible.
