Apple sold a million iPhone 3Gs in the first three days
Apple managed to sell 1 million iPhone 3G communicators over the weekend. Sales began on July 11, Friday, recalls the Vedomosti newspaper. On the first day of sales, people stood in queues for hours, from which many left disappointed. Unlike the first-generation iPhone, the iPhone 3G, when sold in the United States, requires activation and signing a contract with the operator in the store. Apple's servers could not cope with the load, and the activation process in stores was greatly delayed.
