... it believes it will sell in the first quarter of production. It would say only, in the words of CEO Jon Rubinstein, that “sales have been strong and growing.” So until Palm provides specific Pre sales figures we have only the estimates of analysts with which to gauge the device’s impact on Palm’s moribund smartphone franchise.

300,000 Pres sold in June, predicts an analyst
Gadgetell —
... within the first quarter of launch, a mighty feat.
Take these numbers with a grain of salt because no official records have been released by Palm yet.

A WCDMA version of the phone according to Snyder appears imminent, which could mean that the company could reach cash flow break sooner than expected. It is anticipated that they will launch a WCDMA Pre with Telefonica in September, with shipments starting in time for the holiday season. That combined with Sprint and the already talked about roll out by Bell Mobility in Canada, could and should drive sales above 1 million a month.

Roger McNamee: Judgment Day
TechCrunch —
... Something else to think about: Estimates are that Apple sold somewhere between 250,000 to 500,000 iPhone in its first weekend on sale in 2007. The last estimates given for Pre sales was that it sold around 300,000 by the end of June. It’s entirely possible that there haven’t even been as many Pres sold so far as there were iPhones sold during its first weekend.
