1:2000 Frenchmen (and women) have an iPhone!!
iPhones sell like crepe suzettes in France!
On day one, France Telecom?s Orange division sold 12,000 iPhones, according to Metro International, easily beating T-Mobile?s first-day sales in Germany, a country with one third more people (82 million vs. 61 million) and 50 percent more Internet users (52 million vs. 34 million) (stats). After just 21 hours, 17 percent of Orange France stores had sold out, according to O?Grady?s Powerpage.
And today, France Telecom announced that it sold nearly 30,000 iPhones in the first five days, 48 percent of them to new customers (link). That?s nearly one iPhone for every 2,000 Frenchmen (and women). In the United States, Apple and AT&T sold 270,000 iPhones in that first frenzied weekend last June, or one for every 1,111 Americans.
