Evo Breaks Record Sales

[tool2269]

ruuh row....

The company said Tuesday it inadvertently inflated the first-day sales of its new HTC Evo 4G startphone, although the demand for the phone was still much higher than other Sprint phones at their launch.

Tuesday, Sprint said the Evo indeed set a new company record for the highest quantity of phones sold in one day when it went on sale Friday. The Evo sales numbers were six times better than the Samsung Instinct and twice as strong as the Palm Pre's launch, the company's previous record-holders.

However, the Evo's first-day sales numbers weren't any better than the number of Instincts and Pres sold in their first three days on the market combined, which contradicts what the company had said previously. The Evo first-day sales were actually in line with those phones' sales in their first three days.

The company said it continues to expect Evo sales to outpace those of the Instinct and the Pre.

Demand for phone, made by Taiwan-based HTC Corp., produced lines at some Sprint stores when it launched last week, overloading Sprint's account-activation system and creating spot shortages.
