You really think they sold over 100 million iphones? lol

In the title you say iPhone orders are approaching Nokia territory. You than go on to say they are moving 3.2 million phones per month which would be just under 10 million phones per quarter not 12-13 million as you said and than you state that Nokia sells 140 million phones per quarter. So how is this approaching Nokia's territory?

yes this article is confusing and contradictory.

To daveloft: the article first talks about smartphones and then cell phones in general. The comment about approaching Nokia's territory refers to the smartphone category.

I do agree with you that 3.2m iPhones/mo is approx. 9.6m per quarter and I don't know where the 12-13m comes from. Maybe the author is thinking about (4-month) terms? Regardless 9.6m/Qt is comparable to the 14.6m smartphones Nokia sold this past quarter. This (9.6m iPhones/Qt) of course is still distant from the total number of phones sold by Nokia in the last quarter (140 million).

Apple is in a much higher placing if phone sales value is being compared. The iphone is like a $500 - $700 phone.

I'm surprised Tuan Nguyen didn't write this article hahaha.

Apple's goal has been to sell 10 million phones in 2008 (the first full calendar year since launch), not 10 million in the first 12 months as the article implies; therefore Apple has not missed the goal.
