As Gruber says, those are big numbers...
I haven't yet wandered along to attempt to buy a 3G iPhone although I fully intend to (a task made easier by the fact that I'm already on 02); however, since they seem to be dishing them out to bog-trotting cunts like Twenty, I can't help thinking that the brand is now somewhat tarnished...
UPDATE: via Mr Power on Twitter, I see that Charles Arthur has started laying into the iPhone.
Apple says it sold 1m of its new gewgaws in the first weekend (though have they all activated yet?)...
Well, with this release, you have to activate them instore, Charles, so yes. Whether the hardware will or will not connect to iTunes, etc. once people have got them home is irrelevent: they have actually all been activated.
Further, Gordpost in the comments identifies why Charles might be a little huffy: yes, Charlie reports on Twitter that he didn't get sent a review copy.
hmm. Tele and Times Online both got iPhone 3Gs to play with. *mulls precise content of letter to Apple*
Oh dear, poor Charles. My heart fucking bleeds...
DISCLAIMER: I own Apple shares.

25 reasons not to buy an iphone
You're just jealous, DK.
Sent from my iPhone
I got an iPhone for free. What a pity that I barely use mobile phones....
I got the original version last year, and I'm surprised they haven't sent out the OS 2.0 updates yet for it.
I have a phone and a laptop and a 9 inch penis. I'm trying to think of a reason I could possibly want an iPhone?
I have a mobile phone. I use it to make phone calls. It comes in quite handy at times.

To call your 9inch penis when it is his day off?
"To call your 9inch penis when it is his day off?"
My girlfriend prefers to deliver the message either by hand or face to face.
I'll stick to my N95, over a year old and still more functional.
Apparently, it won't even act as a blue tooth modem. And has a (laugh) 2 MP camera.
Oh dear. I can pick up one of them on pay as you go for £40 at Tescos.
According to Bill Ray at the Register, there was quite a lot of new iPhone users unable to make calls, which does seem a bit pointless.
